I have a 2015 Entegra Aspire. I'm thinking about adding a connection to my propane system to allow connecting an external propane grill to my main propane tank. Plan on making the connection on the outlet (low pressure side) of the regulator on the propane tank.

Wondered if anyone has done this and if so, any problems or issues you encountered.

I have on my Travel Supreme. I had to remove the regulator from the grill aa there was not enough pressure going through two regulators. I ran a line with a quick disconnect to the patio side, then a hose that stayed connected to the grill. Worked great for 11 years.

It’s called an extended a stay, you can have it plumbed in to allow for an extension hose to operate your grill. It also has a second connection that can be used for an external tank to support long-term use of propane in place of using the onboard tank. They’re available from most suppliers, Amazon and of course, camping world.

I am planning on disconnecting the outlet of the regulator on the main tank and inserting a tee. One branch of the tee would connect to the existing line that was connected to the regulator and on the other branch of the tee I will install a quick connect with a built-in valve. I could then connect a hose to run to the front or under the coach to the passenger side. This would allow me to connect a grill or fire pit to the low pressure propane system thus eliminating the need for a regulator and bottle to run my grill and fire pit. Thinking I would get a 20' or so hose with quick connects on both ends and also installing quick connects on my fire pit and grill. This length hose would be long enough to reach. This will keep the propane connection in a ventilated compartment if by some chance it were to leak

Wondered if anyone had done this type of installation.

Alan, on our coach in the basement passenger, side is a T/nipple to tap off the propane. It’s mounted up near where ceiling/chassis rail meet.
You could use that for the grill and fire pit.

Thanks Tom,

I will have to look for it. Is it near the front or back of the coach?

I learned this the hard way. It hadn't occurred to me that there were two regulators in the path to the grill

No wonder it took so long for the grill to heat up all those months I used it!!

Now I connect direct to a propane bottle with a 20 ft hose and food is getting cooked a lot faster..

Mine is in the first bay on the passenger side. Up near the frame rail and has a valve already on it . The propane line comes from the propane regulator located on the drivers side of my coach.

Hope this helps!
