Yes, CAMCO makes one, it's the Olympian 5500 Stainless steel. Comes with a mounting bracket, connect hose for low pressure and a storage bag. Available on Amazon for around 180.

Has anybody ever seen a gas stove without a regulator?  I have a 2 burner PRIMUS and unless they make a small regulator that is in line at the connection, it doesn't have one.  At least it doesn't have one like I'm used to seeing.

You can also Google "convert Coleman to low pressure" and watch a dozen youtube videos of changing over, most with parts lists, or kit links.. I converted our "fold and go", just because I could, and bought the "kit" for our Blackstone.

Tom A,

Coleman makes a hose specifically for their products, Camping World has it. Weber does also.

OldNeumanntapr,

You are correct, it is a low pressure line, can't have 2 regulators.

Now the question is: Where do I get a hose with the quick connect fitting on one end and the grill connection on the other?
I called five local RV dealers and none of them have it.

I wanted to use the quick disconnect on my new RP 180, but after reading the posts it seems like I would have to use a BBQ without a regulator. My little portable Weber grill has a regulator built in, so I would have to either modify it or buy a new grill. So from what I gather from this thread that running two regulators in line would drastically reduce the flame? Is that correct?

I have a 5 gallon BBQ tank but my wife is adamant on not bringing it for traveling because of the extra weight and (she claims) the danger of a five gallon propane tank in the shell of the truck.

I guess the small disposable bottles would work better for a two week trip.

Okay, now it makes sense.  
Thanks.

I'm new to this, but I don't quite get it all.  I have a new 190 with the regulated propane outlet.  I also have a 2 burner propane camp stove and a propane Weber grill.  Originally I thought I'd run the portables off the main tank, but that would require either removing the regulators from the portables, or re-plumbing the gas lines from the main tank to the outlet and buying a long hose.  I don't mean to question the good judgement of those that have done that, but what's the big deal about just using the portables with the little propane bottles?


The biggest issue for me with the little bottles is cost. Here, they are $3.50 each.. that's $3.50 a pound. There are 20 pounds in a regular propane tank, meaning it costs $70 to use a 20 pound tank worth of propane, when I can fill my tank at Tractor Supply for $2.39 a gallon, or about $12.. In 2 tanks worth, I will have paid for any and all mods/hoses/regulators.
