RE: Buying new 5er
Bought a Forest River Chreokee Lite 5th wheel. I was going to buy it online but a local dealer wgave us a price within $200 of the online price, and did the dealer prep. I've been really happy with the product so far...then again, with the size of my family, it was the only one with a floorplan of a quad bunk + a U-style Dinette area we could find.
RE: Convert Coleman LXE roadmate propane grill to low pressure
NICE, this Extend-a-Flow is EXACTLY what I was looking for!! I verified the Coleman regulator reduced the pressure to 11lbs so it would work with modifications, but I told my wife we would still need disposable bottles for our lantern and outdoor stove. I'm happy to see that this product will allow me to attach any of our High pressure LP accessories without any modifications or any more small bottles.--Now if I'd only known about this before I paid the mfr $250 to run the low pressure line to the back of the camper.
Thanks to everyone who responded.
RE: Convert Coleman LXE roadmate propane grill to low pressure
ok...so I understand the steps...1. you got a hose with the low pressure quick connect on one end, 2. cut the regulator off the metal tube which connects to the coleman fitting, and then 3. used a small piece of 5/16 fuel line---this last part I don't get...could you not connect the metal coleman fitting to the hose you bought with the low pressure connection? How did you connect the two together --clamps? I like the idea about the spare connection from coleman, I'll have to do it.
Convert Coleman LXE roadmate propane grill to low pressure
Hi all,
I recently purchased a new 5th wheel and asked the mfr prep a "propane connection" so I could continue to use my grill off the built in tanks. After picking the unit up, I realized they had plumbed a low pressure connection behind the regulator which connects to my tanks. I've been told that all grills are low pressure, it's just that most of them have a high pressure connection and a regulator which reduces the connection to low pressure before the gas gets to the flame area. and If I connect a high pressure regulator into a low pressure connection, the regulator will reduce the pressure more to a point that no/little propane will flow. Unfortunately, the regulator on my coleman roadmate has a short metal (brass?) neck which screws into the grill, so my option of cutting the regulator off the hose and installing a quick connect so the grill could only work with low pressure connections seems puzzling. Has anyone done this before with a coleman roadmate grill?
