I am not familiar with this model of RV but where are your propane tanks located? Can you route a hose from the tanks after the regulator down to the bottom of the chassis? If so you can run a black 1/4 or 3/8 ID pipe to your location that you want to end up at from this hose. Support the pipe with a good quality hangers that are a similar metal as the black pipe. Than add a shut off valve and quick connect coupler for you gas line to the cooker.


This is how this was down on my previous 318SAB Cougar 5th wheel that I owned. I also had the dealer add a quick connect coupler and shut off valve to my 34RL cedar Creek 5th wheel also. The propane hose is routed down to the under side of the chassis and a black pipe is routed to the propane appliances from underneath.

You will want to know whether your BBQ will run on low pressure (tie in to existing propane plumbing) or whether you need to bypass the regulator at the tanks and run a separate high pressure line to the BBQ.

With my set-up I am using a Weber Q 100 grill that works off of the regulated propane line from the tanks.

This should work for you also or you may want to look at the Weber Q 200 model.
