We just bought a Travel Star 19ck. It came with the RVQ that attaches to the side of the trailer. Our old pup had a two burner propane stove that we liked much better. Anyone know if you can get one of these any more? All I seem to find is the RVQ grills.
Thanks!

We also have the ck19 and have used the outside propane stove only once during our first season of camping with it. I'm not a propane stove kind of person and had problems cooking on it. Not sure about using it with the awning up. I have looked into buying the correct hose and another smaller 5 pound gas bottle so I can set the stove on a picnic table. Campers World has the parts needed to do this.

You could pick up a low pressure LP outside stove from any popup dealer, they're still fitting them to many of these trailers.

Your old high pressure stove (from some of the Coleman-by-Fleetwood trailers) won't work. I've tried. Even with the right connector it doesn't work.

Your high pressure stove will work on low pressure. I have been using mine for 4 years. It takes a little longer to get stuff hot because the flame is not as hot due to less gas pressure but it still works.

OK, you're right, but boiling a quart of water in 15 minutes as mine does fails my personal defination of "working,"

My MAGMA does a fantastic job both grilling and cooking---use it under the awning with no problem so far---I use the swing-arm boat-railing mount----gets it away from window and side of the TH.

We really missed having the high pressure outside stove that our Coleman popup had. The following pictures show how we added one to our Roo. There is a big difference in the performance between a high pressure stove and low pressure stove. There is also a big difference when it comes time to installing one or the other as well. There is much more work and materials needed to install the high pressure stove.



We really liked the high-pressure stove that came with our Coleman popup. Found a new one on ebay for short money for our Roo. Outfitted the stove using a piece of shelving board so that it has some counter space to either side.



Here’s the connection fitting on the camper side (#600 male).



Here’s the connection at the tanks. Each tank has one these modified (1/4” elbow) Marshall adaptors. Each tank is still connected to the low-pressure regulator/change over valve. The hose with the #600 female fitting has to swapped over to the other tank when the current one runs out. If the stove doesn’t light, that tells me that the changeover valve has swapped the tanks. I can reach through the holes in the tank cover to swap the stove hose over to the other tank.



Here’s the same high-pressure (16 psi) regulator that’s used on the Coleman/Fleetwood popup campers. The hose from the regulator to the tanks was made by MB Sturges Inc. for about $13 (1/4”mpt x 16” hose x 600 swivel female). High pressure LP flex line out from regulator to 3/8” soft copper underneath camper.



Here’s the stove stored behind the sofa inside the camper.



Sofa put down for better view of stored stove.



Stove removed. Velcro “loop” material against wall to protect surfaces. Bracket on right side made from old stove base. Hook & loop strap holds stove in place on left side.

Thanks everyone, not sure my hubby's up to this mod. Why did the companies stop offering the high presure stove for outside? We never had a problem with ours.

I'd prefer to have an RVQ since I barbeque outside quite frequently when I camp. I currently have an outdoor stove, but would rather have an RVQ, since I can prepare food on the indoor stove easy enough.
