Ahh. Perfect. Exactly what I needed. Thanks Furpod ( and Kymooses). I'm still amazed that camco or someone else doesn't sell a complete conversion kit but this will definitely work. Thanks again all.

Google high pressure to low pressure propane connection conversion.
Or watch this video by our very own kymooses.. Video.. |

Thanks Mike. The quick connect that is on the pod is downstream from the regulator so I understand it is low pressure already. The gas grill has a regulator on it that has to be removed before you can hook up a hose to it. I need the correct hose and connector that will connect one end to the pod and the other end to the gas grill with the regulator removed. Am I understanding it correctly? If so what connector do I need?

Suggestion - Amazon sells a 6' Adaptor Hose to connect 20lb tanks to grill regulator. Weber 6501, $24.19. It is a Weber, but both ends are standard for tank and 1lb propane bottle connector.

Not that complicated. I have Weber Qs, that take a 1 lb bottle. The regulator is on the grill. If I want to use a propane tank, I add a hose that adapts to the regulator then goes directly to the tank. One end is the same size as a 1 lb bottle hook up, the other is a standard tank adapter. The regulator is in line. They sell them at Lowes's. Pod People said he uses a Y connector, one end connected to Pod regulator, one outlet available to go to grill, same deal, it goes directly to the regulator on the grill. If you have a grill or anything else, propane run, that doesn't have a regulator in line, you need a regulator. I'm looking out window at my Weber Q on the deck, the hose from the regulator to the tank, I would guess is 6' long.

Anybody have any info on this? Portable gas grill such as the Coleman road trip and the quick connect on the pod. This can't be that tough right? I get that it's low pressure at the quick connect and the Coleman uses a regulator and high pressure 1 pound tanks. . I'm looking for an adapter and a 6 foot hose that works with it. Do they make such a thing?

we use a "Y" connector that screws directly into the 20# tank. One side is connected to the pod high pressure line going to the pod's regulator. the other side is connected to the line going to our grill. Our small travel grill has a regulator that fits between the grill and a one pound canister. We connect the flexible rubber gas line between the "Y" connector and the grill regulator, thus, the pressure is reduced appropriately. We have used it many times without problems. The hoses are available in many gas appliance or grill stores.they come in various lengths-we have a 6 foot hose that is long enough.

You can get a "T", that attaches at the mounted bottle, before the regulator, and gives you a second hook up point there, then you only have mess with the "spare" bottle if you empty the main.. |

Oh, that convert thing looks great. But I think we may just get a "normal" grill, not do the conversion, and just throw our spare propane tank in the back of the truck. This way we can get most any grill (not decided what yet) and just connect straight to the bottle. Hate not using the connection on the RPod
that they nicely add now, but the up side is if our main LP bottle runs out while camping I'll have the spare bottle in the truck to fall back on.
