Hi all I have the standard RVQ grill that attaches to the side of ,y trailer via the standard rail....I assume that the grill has been designed to be used on the trailer but I cant help but feel like the side of trailer is getting a lot of heat from the grill, at time with the grill open the side of trailer gets quit hot....normal ? Does anyone else feel concerned, any suggestions fire away

I don't have the grill you have, but have a Broil King Porta-Chef 40 Grill 20000 BTU's with the RVQ fitting and 8' fuel line. Much more flexible for seating arrangements around the rig.

I've only used my RVQ once and had no problem wih the heat. It sets several inches away from the side of the trailer and the top hinges and acts like a heat deflector.

I was concerned myself while using it not only for the sides of the TT but the underside of the awaning with the smoke. I used it for over a year on the side of the TT with no ill effects.
Just this season I decided to break down and spend a few $$ and I bought 2 new hose setups for my RVQ grill. The first is a 12 foot extension for the quick connect that exits the trailer from the factory. This lets me get the grill just about out from under the awning usually on the picnic table.
The second is a hose with a quick connect on one side that goes onto the grill and the other side has a regulator and screws on to a regular BBQ tank. This lets me take the RVQ over to our friends site when we camp with them and pretty much makes it portable to go anywhere.
I bought my quick connects from Camping World and brought them to a local propane shop and had them make me the hose.

Hey Rick,
Do you ever camp at Sherkston Shores not far from you in Fort Erie?? We camp at Sherkston, we are about 15 min away. It is actually in Sherkston about 10 min from Fort Erie.
The outdoors is a wonderful place to be....

Here's a link to what I did to our RVQ.

Now I can use it a safe distance from the trailer and awning. I got the extension hose from a local LP place. I took the original RVQ short hose with me and they extended it.
