Hello
I hope this isn't a repeat post.
I searched the forums for my topic, but only found posts from 3 years ago.

I'm looking for a low pressure grill that I can simply connect to my RV.
The problem I am having is that I'd like one that is NOT table top. I'd like it to stand alone (foldable legs).
I don't want to carry the 1lb tanks. I don't want to carry a table to put the grill on and I don't want the grill on my campsite picnic table.
I don't want to have to do any modifications to the grill (regulator).

Does such a grill exist?
OR
Does a hose exist that allows connection to the 1lb grill adapter on the grill and then can simply connect to the low pressure RV quick connection? ( I guess it would have some kind of regulator on the hose?)

UPDATE: I guess I'd be okay with a hose that I can connect to the grill and run directly to one of the 30lb tanks without having to remove the tank from the front of the camper. It would need to be pretty long because I'd want to have the grill under the awning.

Am I asking for too much? :D

Thank you in advance!

do a google search of Blackstone Adventure Ready 22" Omnivore Propane Griddle with Stand and Adapter Hose
I have this one with an adapter hose that plugs into the side of our trailer. For me, this is the perfect grill with stand that i can adjust to level on un-even ground.
but of course this is just my opinion.
 
If you are find with a high pressure hose, get a Weber Q with cart and don't look back. If you decide you're OK with converting it for low pressure direct connect, there a high quality conversion kits available that take moments to install with common hand tools. I personally haven't converted ours as we put it in the back of the truck for tailgate picnicking when on excursions so I had a 30-foot high pressure hose made as well as have off-the-shelf 15 and 5 footers because we also use the with our burner, fire in a can, lantern, Little Buddy... Good luck!

Thank you! I appreciate your input. I'll definitely check it out. It's in stock in a couple of local stores!

Thank you for your reply.
I may have to go with this option. I didn't realize how much I'd miss the grill on the side of my old Rockwood Roo.
 
Lots of options to choose from including the ones people have listed. We also have the Blackstone 22" griddle/grill and can use the camper propane system or I carry a 20 lb aux cylinder. My preference was to have a grill and a griddle so we also have a Pit Boss tailgater smoker that we also carry. I use the smoker for all the burgers, steaks, chicken, brats, meat, etc. and then the Blackstone for things like breakfast foods, fajita veges, pancakes, etc. where a griddle shines. We like the taste and cooking ease of the two options and they work well for us now after several years of experimenting. I do carry a Cabelas portable kitchen stand that allows me to adapt to various terrain and it has two surfaces on either side for the Blackstone and the smoker with lots of food prep space, utensil and tool storage in the middle as well. Lots of options depending on what you want. We love the taste now of the food rather than the taste of the gas when cooking with other options.
 
We have a 17 in. Blackstone for the two of us and love it and use it all the time. In a perfect world I would also have a smoker, but due to space and weight I choose to only have the Blackstone since I can use it for so many things.

Thank you! The Blackstone seems to be popular.
 
The key to the Blackstone is proper prep. With the 17, I was able to season the entire plate inside and out in our home oven before taking it out to the camper. I did 3 or 4 seasonings to get a good layer on the griddle. Now, I just put a bit of oil on when I start it. Then use a bit of water to clean when done and oil again before putting away into storage. That is the other nice part of the 17 versus a larger griddle. I toss it into the basement after use so the elements don’t get to it and cause rust or anything.
 
2nd the Weber Q w/Cart.

You can get propane lines to run directly from your tank or from the quick connect (any grill requires minor upgrade as noted above to run from the trailer's quick connect).

The thing we don't like about having a griddle (vs grill) is cooking in windy or rainy conditions. Wind and a blackstone just dont mix. If it's windy and raining you cant use the awning. The weber can sit out there in the wind and/or rain and still cook my dinner ;-)

Finally, one thing we noticed after moving to a rig without a side wall-mounted grill is that our awning stays much cleaner now. I had no idea how much the smoke from the grill made our awning collect dirt.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

Actually the Blackstone can do very well in the wind, if you install the wind guards. Made by various companies, they work great. I have them on all my Blackstones.

X2 - Set ours up to run off trailer Propane tanks. Use a small aluminum table that can be adjusted to maintain level grill surface. We did install the grill wind guards as wind will not play well with the grill cooking surface. The 17" works perfect for the two of us. For a larger family I would lean to the 22" version.

I had a longer (8') hose for a while, but it really didn't get it far enough away from the trailer. So I bought one of the 5 lb. propane tanks. They are sooooo cute!! :) And we can use it with our portable smoker too. Works well for us.
 
I realize I'm in the tiny minority here, but we have a Traeger Ranger. It comes with a griddle and a digital meat temp prob. On cold/windy nights, I can sit in the RV and see the internal steak/chicken/ribs temp readout thru the window. Perfect every time.
 
I choose on each trip to take either the Traeger Junior, Blackstone or Weber Silver. I like to smoke ribs on the Traeger, breakfast on the Blackstone and burgers on the Weber. But recently I tried my Grill Grates https://www.amazon.com/GRILL-GRATE-...1724410562&sprefix=grill+grate,aps,133&sr=8-3 from the smoker on the Blackstone and they did great on ribeye steaks. I had the Grill Grates already.
The Weber is off of my list now even though I had some grill grates for them also. I can do everything I want to on the Blackstone except smoking meat. I have the propane connector for it so I don't have to pack an additional tank also. I have a container that the 17" Blackstone fits inside perfect with room for the grilling tools also.

The traeger ranger looks nice and if I didn’t already have the Blackstone i would be tempted to go that route. But got the Blackstone first and can’t justify changing at this point.
 
Also have the Weber Q w/Cart - light weight stand and grill - easy to set up and doesn't take up much space in our pass thru. We have an electric griddle we can use inside or out - smaller version of the one we use at home. I personally don't mind the 1lb tanks - carry three of them in a old Black and Decker zipper tool bag and hang them from the cleat in the pickup bed.
 
The Traeger Ranger looks interesting, but at 60 lbs, I'll stick with my Weber Q and 17" Blackstone.
