I just looked up the "coleman roadtrip xcursion".. that uses 1lb propane bottles, which means, as delivered, it's a high pressure grill. The regulator is built into the grill where the bottle screws in.

Here is one option..

So your saying, if i hook up my low pressure recommended grill (brand new coleman roadtrip xcursion) to the new external quick disconnect on the tongue of the rpod, it will be low pressure at that point? And it will be no problem?. Just for knowledge sake, is it dangerous to hook a low pressure grill directly to an unregulated 20 lb tank?


Your road trip will work perfectly. Everything "this side" of the regulator is low pressure.

I don't know what would happen if you hooked up a grill that is designed for low pressure to the high pressure side, it's not actually possible without doing a series of like 4 adapters.. They do make grills for the high pressure side, and "T"s to pull from the high pressure side. You can convert as needed also.. all grills RUN on low pressure, it's just a matter of WHERE the regulator is.

Hang on a moment with that order. I too am hoping to use my quick connect L/P external hook up on my pod (17.5 models come set up with it now) I'm hearing there are two types of systems, 1 is high pressure, and 1 is low pressure. You need to know what the trailer connector is, and what your grill can take. I guess a high pressure trailer connector, feeding a low pressure grill is a bad thing. You may already know this, and can continue on, but incase you didnt, i dont know if you could end up getting hurt. Can a resident expert kick it in from here, cause i'd like to know if this is dangerous, and what should be done. Thanks.

I am a new owner of a 180 and want to use the exterior LP quick disconnect to fuel a portable gas grille. Does anyone know the male size of the line I need to purchase and have a part number. Thanks
