Exterior camping stove instead original Exterior Grill?

[Dream Girl]

My 2008 Rockwood Pop-up came with exterior grill, which can be attached to the outside wall and plug to a propane hose.
I never used the grill so I gave it to my brother (he was very excited).

Is there any way that I could plug my Coleman camping Stove instead?
(it use the green 1# disposable bottles)
If yes, how?

That will be VERY useful to me.
Thank you.

This is a common problem. The disposable lp cans are high pressure and the RV line is low pressure. Most, if not all stoves that use disposable lp cans won't work off the low pressure RV line. Not sure about your Coleman.

I am going to go with an adapter to refill my 1# bottles directly from an lp tank.

That's a bummer.

Is there a way to connect a T fitting to the 20# propane (before the regulator), one side will go to the Pop-up system (as it was setup originally) and the other to the outside wall where the grill hose use to be?

*trying to think outside of the box here....

You can buy T's that allow you to connect a hose that would go to your stove

Theoretically possible, but unsafe. You do not want a high pressure LP line in or under your camper.

Vibes beat to the punch with a tee at the tank and a flexible hose to the stove. These parts are easily available at Amazon.

Another option ($$$) is to replace your Coleman with a 2 burner stove that operates off of a low pressure line.

To be safe, you need to remove the regulator from your Coleman.

You gave away the BBQ and now you want to replace it? Are you planning to use the coleman on a table with a hose connected to the gas line? Go here to start. You can call them about fittings.

Sorry.You want a stove not a BBQ. You may be able to use the gas BBQ as a stove though.

I use my Coleman Road trip grill with an adapter plunged into my trailer auxiliary propane quick connect with no problems. Just adapted the quick connect line to small green tank fitting & hooked it up, works great. Seems safe enough, burns the same as on the green disposable tanks.

I had the same problems with the grill hooked to through the TT.. Even bought a different grill thinking that would solve the problem. Wrong. Just not enough pressure because of the regulator. Bought a Weber grill and folding stand. Also got a small 5 # tank and hose. Works great. Keep a 1# can of gas in case the larger one runs out.

A none rv bbq is high pressure an external rv bbq is low pressure. Your stove in your RV is low pressure.
Be careful!!!!!!!!!

I use a Coleman stove on portable cylinders. In 2 years of use I have gone through 3 tanks. The cost of all adaptors and hoses has no payback for the cost of disposable cylinders, I do use orange drop and recycle the cylinders as well. I bought them at Walmart 4 for $9.

Cool. In 2 years you haven't used it much. Try one of these and see your saving's.

Here it is:

I carry a separate 20 pound tank for my grill and Coleman stove. The second and third show the hose hooked up to a "Tree". The tree has 2 sections of pipe and you can place a lantern on the top. I got this when I was tent camping and is great when no electric is available.

Thank you everyone for your comments!

Thanks to you I have learned that the Pop-up has low pressure propane system (at 11psi), while the Colman is using a high pressure (at 16psi).

I have decide not to do anything, and just keep it the way it is as the 1# green propane bottle usually last me a few camping trips anyway,
and the price of the hardware will never justify the hassle.
Also I will be safer that way too.

As my daddy bumper sticker says:
KISS! (Keep it simple, stupid!)

I own the same Coleman tree and love it. Do have one problem though.

I can't find a hose that screws onto the tree and has a snap on fitting to fit on my grill. Can anyone help me? Don't need a regulator cause grill is high pressure.

there is a product , though a little behind the times, that might be the ticket for you. it comes with the old pol fittings, that is the drawback, that and if there is physical room at the tank for it. the pol fitting on the tee will screw into the tank but youll need a q-spud adapter to hook the original tank hose to the tee. then youll have a 12 foot hose to go to the appliance. they need to make these with the new acme thread connectors, which they may, but i couldnt find them.
