I mounted mine on the front storage pass through door.Drilled holes through the door and also a piece of wood (1 1/2" by 14") for support. Works fine.

Look on the outside of your rig on the awning side there will be a channel attached to the side and just below it will be a plastic covering (where the propane is) Pull to open it. The grill mounts on the channel with the supplied frame. You will have to put the handles on the grill and the sparker the rest should be assembled. The stand works both on the RV or it will sit on a table good luck

My old Shamrock 183 had the rail screwed to the side and started to separate from the RV while I was cooking hamburgers. The tipping caused a small grease fire. Fortunately my fire pit gloves were handy so I was able to catch the grill (extremely hot) before it fully came off. I was able to later repair the rail, but the grill was not used very much after that. I mainly used it on a table as aufinger mentioned in post #12.
My current RV has the bumper mount and the grill works OK, but its rarely used. I simply don't like cooking or hanging out right next to the RV unless its a very short stay. Probably goes back to our tenting days. We typically erect an E-Z up over the picnic table and incorporate an outside kitchen somewhere between the RV and the fire pit.

I've never been a fan. I've only used it on one of our earlier TT's and stopped using them primarily because I have young kids and there is so much traffic under the awning and I didn't want any of the kids to bump into it while the was hot. Also, when I did try it is made the mistake of leaving the kitchen window open, so all of the smoke went in the TT.

I got a splitter that I run off my propane tanks in the front and use a Coleman Roadtrip. I can grill out of the way and have a bigger cooking area.

What I'd really like to do is find a way to put a splitter on the propane line that runs the stove in the outdoor kitchen so I can see the stove and the grill at the same time.

Found the QD. For the gas but no hose to connect the grill to the QD. I wonder if it was a oops or not

I've used ours that came with our 27VRL. The rails aren't going anywhere, I made sure of that before hanging the grill. Haven't grilled on it though. We use it to pan fry bacon and other greasy items outside so the trailer doesn't stink.

This may be a stupid question but did you actually PULL on the QD? The hose is inside that opening. It pulls out and then you attach it under the grill. I just figured that all out last weekend

Sold the one we received with our TT new in the box for $100.00....Prefer to use my Weber Q Grill.

Lots of people seem to use them without problems. That said, I'd never risk a flair up destroying my camper with one. I use a portable grill on the picnic table. The cheap side mount grill that came with my trailer went to the recycle center at the town dump..

X2, the quick connect and hose pull out to attach to grill (at least on mine they do)

riverss · 04-10-2016, 04:45 PM

i e-mailed the dealer and was told that they would send me a LP hose but to this day it has not arrived. i did make up a LP hose to work with the QD setup and do plan to extend it further away from the RV. the rail that positions the stove is too high for my liking. on the 2016 8299BS there is no retractable or hidden LP hose just a LP pipe running the length of the RV and lines "T" off of it.

We scrapped our grill and went with a 12V Green Mountain Grill - Pellet Grill. We use the gas QD for an outdoor gas fire-pit, make sure you don't "double" regulate - it is already regulated at the propane tanks. Had to have hose with QD fitting custom made by hose shop.

That is how mine is...just like the picture....the only problem I tried to use it for the first time last week and I could not get my grill to light. I even had 2 camping neighbors come and look at it. They couldn't figure it out either. The line was connected and the gas was coming but the grill bed would not light. I have tried to figure out what I did wrong but I don't have a clue. I guess I will have to buy a portable grill...ugh.

Make sure you had the propane tank valve all the way open.

benchmarks · 06-14-2017, 07:09 PM

Yep, I use mine. Works fine just keep the windows and door shut. Keep the canopy closed.

Yes it was open in fact the guys tried to light it where the gas was coming out and it went into flames....WOW....turned it off quickly through the flames. It just wouldn't light at the grates. Very strange.
