Attached my grill

TaterColo · 05-17-2012, 10:40 AM

I need to move the bracket to the bay door beneath the water heater. My wife pointed out I'd have to BBQ under the slide - oops. I just told her to put the slide in. It feels very sturdy.

That is a nice looking do you leave it attached when you travel or do you take the grill off the door? what type of grill and bracket is it?

The bracket I ordered along with the grill from Amazon. Cheapest place I could find the grill. It's an Olympian 5500. I also ordered the carry case as well.

How did you attach the propane, we can't seem to find the 1/2 inch fitting.

On the passenger side of the coach in the bay door below the fridge (the only bay door that opens outwards with no slide above it ) look inside to you left. You will see the fitting there.

Thank you, found the fitting, but it does not fit the portable grill, we have a Weber, but they all seem to be standard 1/8in. Did you have to modify the quick connections? We have a new 2011 390bh, seems strange that it would be so hard to attach a portable grill.

Ok my mistake, it is the 2012 model, and the Weber has a 1/4 in female, and the MH has a 1129f, male 1/2 in. We can't seem to find a propane conection wire.

We have a Weber Grill we use for our 2011 Berkshire. Any rv dealer should have a hose with the proper quick connect to connect to the motorhomes fitting but shey all seem to only have short hoses. I then took that hose to a propane service company who made an extension for it as I wanted the Grill farther away from the coach out on a picnic table. I had tried a propane company first but there are many different quick connect fittings and rv dealers seemed the only place that had the right one.

Here is the link to the grill I purchased from Amazon. The grill came with the quick connect built into the grill. It also came with 1 hose (about 3 feet long). I purchased another hose (not knowing it came with one), however I can hook those 2 hoses together and get close to 12 feet of length.

Does your grill have a regulator? If so I don't believe you can use that as the MH is regulated at the connector.

The additional hose

...and the storage bag

My Weber Q220 does have a regulator. I tested it and it works but that may explain why the gas pressure seemed low and it took a long time to heat up.

Amazon SS Camco grill looks good. How much better do you think the quality is over the original black grill that came with the TT.?

I also have a Weber Q and removed the regulator and put on a quick connect for the supply hose. I was able to get one made up at a local camping store. He made it on the spot and made it to any length that I wanted.

While your idea of attaching the grill to the door is nice, I personally want my grill as far away from the coach as possible when I am using it. I feel that the chance of the grill flaming up while grilling burgers, steak, or anything else will probably occur and I don't want those flames and heat anywhere near the fiberglass sides. JMHO.

You are exactly right.

Used it over memorial for grilling burgers and chicken. It flamed up a bit but I was was not concerned about the fiberglass. I feel it sits far enough away from the sides the flames will not get close enough to damage the sides of the RV.
