    We started with the little green bottles with our 17" Blackstone.

    I have since migrated over to using a BBQ sized propane tank with the adapter. I put the tank in a plastic milk crate so it doesn't roll around in the back of the pickup. I use this same tank with our fire-pit.
    I never liked the idea of being tethered to the trailer's propane supply but that's just me. YRMV
    We enjoy moving the grill from spot to spot as needed.

    We recently bought a 22" Blackstone and will use the same set up.

    With my 22" Blackstone, I plumbed a 25' hose to the coach 30. Have a couple of 1lb. in the basement if I want to use it somewhere else (never have). I would imagine 1lb. would mt quick with a griddle. I used to use a 20# but got tired of lugging it in and out of the truck.

    Exactly what I do. The grill regulator is in the same bag as the extension cable that I use when connected to the trailer. No big deal going from one to the other, with the exception of running out of propane in the mini bottles.

    I am going to try to hook my grill up directly to the RV. If I want to bring a large pot of water to boil (lobster), the 1lb bottles cut it. I'd rather not drag around another 20lb tank if I have two of them already available on the RV.

    I have an adapter hose that goes from my Coleman Roadtrip grill, about 25 ft long, to a standard LP tank fitting. It originally took the 1 lb bottles. (still can)

    Sometimes I use the tank on the door side of the fifth wheel, sometimes I use a 10lb LP tank I found.

    X2 but I have yet to use the regulator though. But still hauling it around.

    No need to lug if you use a lightweight fiberglass propane tank.

    Woof, $157 for a 10 lb. tank. I think I'll stick to my extension hose and leave the tank in the trailer.

    They are not really any lighter to matter

    A full propane tank is not that heavy plus it has a handle

    A regular tank costs at least $50

    Fiberglass lasts longer
    Doesn’t rust
    1/3 lighter
    Can see propane level left
    You can find on sale for less than a hundred if you are able to
    Wait

    Price is a red herring
