Quick connect grill issue

We setup our outdoor grill to attach to our quick connect system. With the grill lit, we get about 75% flame compared to it attached to a dedicated propane source, which is ok. As soon as we light up the indoor stove top burners, both the outdoor and indoor burners barely produce a flame. We are using a Coleman Roadtrip grill, and our trailer is 2 years old. Any suggestions?

You may want to check if your Coleman grill has a regulator on it or not. The gas from your RV connection is low pressure and doesn't need a regulator. Connecting the already-low pressure hose to a grill with high pressure regulator makes things worse. If you have a regulator on your Coleman, it must be removed and then the grill needs to be modified to accept the low pressure gas from your trailer. There are several You Tube videos available online.

Once you have modified your grill, you will not be able to use the portable propane bottles--as they contain high pressure.

I thought the RoadTrip was designed to use with disposable propane bottles. How are you connecting it the your TT?

My first thought reading this is the regulator at the propane bottles is defective.. or out of adjustment...
The second thought would be if you have a regulator on the grill, which is not needed on that line, could be causing a problem.

First thought is your regular is not working right. May need to have some testing done to determine why.
Still don't see how the roadtrip works with twice regulated propane.

I just converted my Weber Q200 to work on the camper LP supply or a tank/regulator combo with a quick disconnect fitting. Works fine. I read about ways to do it for a while but it actually took about 15 minutes.

You are correct, the Coleman Roadtrip is out of the box intended to use the disposable bottles. However, with Coleman's optional 5' hose and adapter you can use the included regulator and connect directly to a high pressure LP tank.

But it sounded like the OP is connecting this to his quick connect which is likely the factory installed LOW pressure line near the rear of the trailer. You can do that with a Coleman, but you have to remove the regulator on the grill and then modify the grill with some custom parts (which can be ordered online or purchased at a grill or hardware store).

I am not sure why the OP is having propane issues inside his travel trailer.

Here's a Youtube video that explains how to modify the Coleman grill:

I failed to include in my original post that the regulator has already been removed, after watching a couple of YouTube videos on how to do so. I would understand why the outdoor grill may have issues, but that doesn't explain why it would greatly affect the flow going to the indoor stove top burners. As soon as I burn off the outdoor grill, normal flow is restored.

You have to purchase some adapters to modify the connection. See video in a previous post.

It also works with a low pressure connection, supposedly.

Still pointing to a regulator that can not provide enough pressure. Can you duplicate the problem without using the grill. Only running everything else that used LP in the rig?

Could be the regulator is not up to the flow rate you are requiring.

Assuming you properly converted the grill the only other source of the problem would be the trailer regulator itself or a blockage in a line somewhere.

That's what we are thinking. This is the first time we are using the quick connect line in 2 years since we've owned the trailer. We will try the same setup with my in-laws trailer and see if we can re-produce the issue.

If you are connecting your hose to this silver colored device on your grill it won't work. That device is a regulator.

We were able to connect the same grill and setup to a newer Jay Flight model, and the both indoor and outdoor burners worked without any issues. This leads me to believe there is not enough propane flow to support both burners or there is some sort of blockage in the line. We will be upgrading to a Jay Flight in 6 weeks, so we are not so concerned anymore. Thank you for everyone's input.

We took the regulator off our Coleman road trip XLE. It works great. We used a quick disconnect grill hose from Lowes and about 30$ in brass fittings. Does not affect the gas inside. The connection on the TT is different than the Coleman hose. Try the Charbroil quick disconnect 10 ft hose.

Same problem on Jayco Redhawk

I have a Weber grill and it appears to have the same issue it’s very low flame on the quick disconnect from the rear of the RV. Can you post the online YouTube video if you have it. Thank you
