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.

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.

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.

No big deal at all, really. If you want to carry portable propane bottles be them big or small go for it but my thinking is why when you already have a regulated propane tank and outlet? Just adds to complexity and just one more thing to carry if you want to take a grill along. Where as with using the auxiliary propane outlet all I need to do is carry a quick disconnect house that I store right inside the grill. No gas bottles to deal with and all you have to do is to either modify your present grill or buy one without a regulator.

These are the portable tables I use, shop around for a better deal.

Not just the place that can fill your propane tank but also services homes and can sell you fireplaces, grill's, ect. and check out their price. They can easily retro fit a propane port on your Pod for probably less money then the RV dealer. Remember you'll also need a grill that does not have a gas regulator since you already have one with your present propane tank. Some people like carrying around the extra propane tank and such where as myself its just plug in my 10' hose with a quick disconnect and I'm in business to grill out! I also carry a nifty portable metal camp table that weighs next to nothing and fits in its own small sack to set my grill on since many campgrounds frown or out right prohibit you from placing your grill on the campsite picnic table.

I had two of those small LPG bottles with my ‘67 Alaskan truck camper. They were small and stored easily but cost the same to fill as a standard five gallon tank because of the ‘minimum charge’ for the gas retailers. I think they were two and a half gallon bottles. They did work really well with a BBQ though I mostly used them for the stove and fridge on the Alaskan.]]> Tue, 26 Jun 2018 00:38:03 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11763&PID=111361#111361 gas grill outlet on a 179 : You can also get a half size propane... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11763&PID=111100#111100 Author: john in idaho

Ours is a green 2016. Like yours, it does not have a propane grill attachment. You could add one but I just carry an extra tank and a hose that attaches to it and to the grill's regulator.

We are on the road and our 2017 179 is in storage.  While it is a 2017 it is the green color as the model changed 3 weeks after we bought it.

Does the 2017 179 have an outlet for attaching a gas grill?  The new ones do if you get the standard value package.
