Ok, Im not getting propane though my exterior outlet. Valve open, tanks full. Is there a valve somewhere other than at the end of the line?
No instructions or suggestions in the manual (no surprise there). I had it working before we left...
Im guessing its something that I am just missing... but I need someone to trigger that part of my brain... ;)

Double check the propane hose is inserted all the way and the quick connect has snapped all the way shut....then try again? You do not need a requlator coming off this propane line. That has already been done.

Good afternoon to all, does anyone have a suggestion on which camp grill I can get for my exterior quick connect. The Coleman Road trip has the regulator that is preventing enough gas to get thru. I did try to remove the regulator and bypass it(now the grill is on the curb)

There are many camping grills/ griddles out there to choose from. As you have found out, your selection needs to have a removable regulator assembly.
We carry a Camp Chef griddle( yes I successfully removed its regulator). It works very well hooked up to our on board connection. I am also a fan of Blackstone Griddles( have one at home). IMHO, you can’t go wrong with either.

I use this hose, as it is long and there was no regualator. $18.50 on Amazon

Hi Jim, this is the exact hose that I have as well!
I decided on it because of the length. It provides camp set up options regarding the placement of our griddle.
And it was a direct replacement for our camp chef . Just unscrewed the existing hose connection and thread this one back in place. Less than 5 minute project.

I'm thinking very seriously about removing our grill replacing it with a pellet smoker. We have never used a grill and don't for see a use for it.

I chose to use an Extend-a-Stay adapter with a high pressure hose so I wouldn't have to remove the appliance regulator.
This kit fit the bill

The high pressure option works. But it's just not as convenient and defeats the purpose of the quick connect.
However if one is not comfortable or capable of removing regulator. Taking the high pressure approach is a worthwhile option.
One thing I did not consider is I have an assortment of lp hoses for my various cooking gadgets. If I took the high pressure approach I would not need all the various LP hoses

The bottom line...do not use a hose, with an additional regulator. I use a 20' hose with my camp chef 90 (3 burners putting out 30,000 BTU's each... (Think 3 turkey fryers) and it works great. I do need to push some air out, when hooking it up, but hose length will not affect performance, once the air is bled out.
