Must lay on back to get to propane quick connect?
Am I the only one who needs to physically lay on my back and slide under my 2018 2600RB with a flashlight in order to connect my gas grill? The location of the quick connect is like two feet in from the side of the exterior wall. Wondering if someone has an idea or a fix like an extension or something. Any and all help, and or suggestions are welcome!

I do it by feel, just kneeling down without being able to see it.

I'm reading thinking "there's a propane disconnect under there?"
Once it warms up, I'm going to have to look for it.

I converted my Weber Q1000 with a LP conversion kit and it works awesome. Unfortunately, the connector is on the right-hand side of my 2018 2600RB (near) under where the furnace exhaust is. IMHO it's a bad location due to the proximity of the exhaust. I had to ensure that my rubber propane hose was routed in a manner so it was as far away from the (extremely hot) furnace exhaust as I could get it. Still had me a bit nervous due to the proximity. (Yea my wife had the heat on in the unit as it was pretty cold for a few days during that cold spell we had a few weeks ago even know we were in Florida)! Also as mentioned in my OP it's a chore to connect the gas line through the access hole then under the unit. Anyway, GD had a good idea but left the engineering up to someone who may not have been qualified.

The few times so far that I have used the outside grill, I have had to lay down to connect it. Doing by feel has not worked yet - and I work on an old truck blind to access some of the bolts and screws. But if I want bacon, it has to be cooked outside.

I went and checked it out yesterday and will probably relocate it this summer. It's not in an ideal location for me, but it't not ideal either.

Realizing this post is two months old. But I have a different model with a "quick" connect for the outside kitchen stove. I struggled with this the first time or two. Now, I get my little stool out of the pass through, sit down and get comfortable, and am able to connect up easily. Less dirt all over my back, less colorful language, and less stress.
