Skipster Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 has anybody had issues with not getting propane pressure using the forward and aft quick connects on the propane lines. I can not get enoough propane to fire up my coleman portable stove. It works fine with the small disposable propane bottles. I am getting gas through the line but very low pressure. Any ideas out there would be appreciated thankyou skip nielsen hull # 822 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRM Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Have you removed the regulator on the Coleman stove? It won't work correctly if you haven't. 4 2010 Elite II, Hull #45. 2014 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 4WD 5.7 with tow package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Mike and Carol Posted June 6 Moderators Share Posted June 6 There are lots of YouTube videos on how to remove the regulator on the Weber Q series regulator so that it works on the quick connects. I bet there are also videos on how to do the same with the Coleman. 1 1 Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomB87 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 You can use a Coleman Road Trip Grill with an adapter hose available on amazon with the quick connect. Weber, Blackstone, and some Camp Chefs will also work with a mod removing the regulator. Lots of You tube videos. Those are low pressure devices. They run at 11wc. Coleman stoves and others are high pressure running at 15wc. They will not work well even with a mod. Need to know whether your device is low pressure or high pressure. That sometimes means calling the manufacturer. I use a Coleman Road Trip. I wanted to switch to a Coleman Cascade 3 in 1 because it is smaller and lighter. Just went down the internet and RV forum Rabbit hole to find this out. 1 Bill Thomas 2019 Elite II Hull # 534 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't work right, or at all, if you just use the adapter on the grill side and plug into the trailer quick connect. 1 2010 Elite II, Hull #45. 2014 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 4WD 5.7 with tow package.

Skipster Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 thanks for all the information. I would guess that the coleman stove I have needs high pressure like what comes out of a disposable propane bottle. I think I will stick with the diposable bottles for now. I bought a 30' hose and had the gas company connect a fitting that screwed into coleman regulator and the other end the quick connect. yes,lowpressure gas. seems like a pain so will hold onto the hose for the future . skip #822 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipster Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 seems to me the quick connect ports on the trailer are pretty useless since I can not connect the grill. Lots of work and hassle to bypass the trailer regulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mods necessary for the Blackstone or fire pit. 1 Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of work and hassle to bypass the trailer regulator. Very useful for us! I have a quick-connect 12 ft LP line to a quick-connect T. Then we connect our Weber Q grill (maybe buy a proper grill?) and this fire-ring. Removed regulators on both. Don't really need a YouTube if you have a good local hardware store to find the right brass fittings. Very happy not to carry an extra LP tank for outdoor use.

Less expensive and wasteful than using hose small tanks plus it could be a backup for your Oliver's tanks. Personally, I'd try and remove the regulator and add a quick connect to the grill so I could use the Oliver's quick connects. 6 2010 Elite II, Hull #45. 2014 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 4WD 5.7 with tow package.

Won't work right, or at all, if you just use the adapter on the grill side and plug into the trailer quick connect. No the Road Trip will work off the quick connect. The regulator for the Road Trip is a removable. You can buy an adapter hose on Amazon with a connector that screws into the same fitting as the regulator used for the 1 lb green bottles. No need to by pass the trailer regulator. Weber, Blackstone, and others will work. There are kits where you remove the grill's regulator so it will work off the quick connect. They are all low pressure. The issue is with high pressure devices like Coleman and other camp stoves. Even if you remove the regulator they will not run at proper temperatures. For those you do have to by pass the trailer regulator. Some solutions is carry a spare tank. Or they make Y connects you can use on one of the trailer tanks. Hope this helps 4 Bill Thomas 2019 Elite II Hull # 534 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
