The grill comes with a short hose and regulator, just unscrew the hose from the grill and use the 12 ft hose shown in the links below which plugs into the quick connect.

Now I'm looking at your griddle!

I have this 3 Burner Camp Chef and love it.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've been camping for 35 years and used Colemans, some of the aluminum frame with cast Iron Burners and everything in between and this stove is the best I've ever had. PLENTY of BTU's to get a 20 cup aluminum percolator bubbling quickly and enough adjustment that I can simmer spaghetti sauce in saucepan without it boiling.

Here is the 2 burner version:
https://www.amazon.com/Camp-Chef-Ran...N9P1V178ENH057

I figured the way my wife drinks coffee all day and as much as I need to warm up the percolator to keep her happy, giving her a dedicated burner forced me into the 3 burner version. They also make a custom griddle that can sit across either a single or two burners of their stoves with a drip cup to catch grease.

Based on your recommendation, I already bought and used mine once. So far so good!
Thanks!

Quick question, When you connect your 12 connector hose to the grill, is it a permanent connection or do you use a quick connect fitting? Thanks

The end that attaches to the grill is a female threaded connection. The end that attaches to the RV propane supply is quick connect.

You could add a couple of additional fittings on the grill end and make both quick connect, I just didn’t see any reason to do that.

I put a quick connect male fitting on my Weber so I can disconnect hose. I coil it up and store inside grill.

My quick fix

One bottle for low pressure one that’s not. I take a bbq bottle for my sportsman generator and any other reducer equipped appliances. It’s my coach backup bottle too.

I just finished assembling a Smoke Hollow grill with the flip up side shelves. A whole lot of grill for $150, on sale at CW. Bought a 12' hose on Amazon and we're good to go. And it just fits nicely in the mid driver's side compartment on my Isata 3 FW. Not sure where my golf clubs are going to go now...

When we purchased this TT, we asked the dealer to substitute a stove for the RVQ as a friend of mine did. Mine came with a 3 burner and my friend's came with a two burner. Both are Suburban ranges mounted in a poly box that hooks on the side rail using the lo pressure LP system. I'm positive these are PUP stoves. The 2 burner is more convenient to handle and store, both are really nice. See what the dealer will do for you on a 2 burner Suburban range for a popup

Just connect directly to low pressure outlet. It’s an open burner similar to our open burner range at home. Easy to control flame. It doesn’t get hot underneath.
I have the Camp Chef 3 burner, it works with the low pressure, just doesn't allow the flame to get high like on the propane standalone tank/regulator. It gets hot enough to boil water, use the griddle, just takes longer and pray for no wind.

Smoke Hollow Vector 3 burner storage

I just wanted to comment that I bought the Smoke Hollow Vector series 3 burner stove and, while I really like this grill, it BARELY fits in the driver's side wide storage compartment. That's the only place it fits and when I say barely, I mean squeaking it through the rubber seal. I actually threw my back out trying to get it out as the back leg was getting stuck or opening up and complicating things. Now I'm either going to try and grind about 1/8" of the opening bigger or try and make the grill a little flatter on top. As soon as my back lets me bend over again!
$150 on sale at CW

Our Weber just barely fits in that compartment too.

Riverbend, I have that same grill except stainless and no side tables. The front looks identical. I don’t know how the side tables fold, but mine barely fits as well. You have to put the back folding leg in first and then angle it to get the two front folding legs inside. Once in the compartment, no problems sliding it around. If your side tables go over or under the grill when stored, I can see how that is a problem.

The side wings don't add any height at all. What a nice grill, but what a tight squeeze! I wasn't kidding about wrenching my back. I'm gonna work on it.
