Can the propane quick disconnect on the side of my Fleetwood be used with a Coleman camping stove? I believe that it was origionally intended to be used with the indoor/outdoor stove.

No. Typical Coleman stoves are regulated to 15 psig. Typical quick connect on PUs are 0.4 psig.

Some of the quick disconnects on the sides of fleetwoods are considered high pressure takeoffs and should work.

I'm under the impression that the regulated high pressure (16 psig per their manual) on the side of some FFTs has a #600 or 'disposable' thread (1"x20) and not a quick connect.

If it was intended for indoor use it's low pressure (0.4 psig or 11"wc) A standard.

Yup thats it! I knew there was a difference in the couplers (I think my brain took the weekend off)

All RV quick disconnects are low pressure.

The high pressure connection found on new Fleetwood PopUps, (and 2004 and earlier Grand Tour models), is NOT a quick disconnect. The connector has the 1/2-20 threads found on disposable propane cylinders.

Some people have used the low pressure feed to supply propane to their third-party appliances, but it usually involves the removal of the appliance's pressure regulator.

An alternative is to make your own High Pressure feed off of your 20# tank using an adapter such as Stay Flow Plus.
