Add Low Pressure Propane Outlet to 351M?

[2018351M_NJ]

I have a 2018 351M and I don't believe we have a LP propane outlet. Can anyone point out the parts i could order to add a LP quick disconnect? Thanks

Well we just got back from almost two weeks of camping using our 351M. I loved every second but def. realize that i need to install a LP propane quick disconnect on the rig. I used my Blackstone griddle almost every day. I brought a 20# tank for the griddle. But it was a pain in the butt securing it to and from ( we stayed at 2 different sites in total)

I will be tackling installing a LP QD under the basement storage and possibly one under the toy hauler area. I will use this thread to document the install.

Here is what i have ordered already:

12' quick disconnect hose

10" QD install kit

Next, I need to figure out the best way to get propane from the passenger side on-board tank to the place where im gonna put the install kit. On the passenger side LP tank of the 351, there is a red GR-630 regulator. Im not sure if i can "T" on the LP side and run a line down to the install kit.

Any thoughts or ideas are welcomed!

I just added a second low pressure propane port to my 28bh for my generator. In my case there was a tee by the outdoor kitchen with a plug in an unused port. I went to a propane supply company and had a hose made up the length I wanted with the ends I needed. Hose went right into one of these, which I mounted next to the hitch.


All that said, my unit tees multiple times after the regulator. I can see no problem with you doing the same. In looking at your floorplan, with your fridge in the slideout there should be a propane connection in that area under the rig. I know for mine there is. Not sure if that tee would have a unused port or not, but if so you could work off of that.

Well we have had 2 days of rain, but sometime this week, i will look under the kitchen side. There could be a manifold i could branch off of.

I literally just added one last night to my 350M. I unhooked the quick connect fitting for the kitchen slide and unscrewed it from the 1/4" pipe. I put a female T there, two "street Ls" and two 1" nipples, then screwed the kitchen quick coupling fitting back on one nipple and my new quick coupling on the other nipple. I ran the hose under the unit over the sewer dump pipe and behind the spare tire. I am going to secure it with conduit clamps this evening. I set up my 22" blackstone to adapt to my previous TT's low pressure quick connect so this was a must. On my previous outings, I just unhooked the quick coupling to the refrig/stove under the slide and plugged in there. It sucks that as fancy as these units are, they did not have a factory quick coupler.

You cannot connect at that regulator because our units use a two stage propane regulator system. First stage is at each tank and second stage is at the auto changeover unit. You need to tie in at the main line after the auto changeover unit.

You can get the parts you need off of amazon also.

I am not sure if I am chiming in too late on this but I just completed the task on my 2019 351M. Here's my knowledge: You can not connect to the regulator on the street side directly, it is still high pressure. You can either connect to it and install a proper regulator for the grill you are using or you can install a tee at the tank and use a LP line with a regulator between the tank and the grill.
I purchased all parts from Amazon and now have:
Tee at the tank, attached to low pressure regulator, 12" LP line to quick disconnect. I secured the LP line and QD inside the propane compartment using standard plumbing mounts. I also purchased a kit for my Roadtrip grill that provided a12' hose and QD connections at each end.
Now I just set up the grill, run the line under the RV and up in the propane compartment and connect.

Any pics you can share? I would like to add a quick disconnect to my 2016 Grand Design Imagine 2600RB. Unfortunately they didn’t include one on that model year.
