Added gas line for cooking outside of TV

I added this gas line in myself and the cost was about 25 dollars, works perfect using a LP burner.

Nice job. Is that a low pressure line teed into the copper line under the trailer? If so, you presumably removed the regulator from your LP burner, right?

Thanks, yeah its a LP line tied into the existing TV copper line to the stove. I'm still using the LP regulator at the propane tanks and regulate the fire as needed with a needle valve on my portable LP burner.

Interesting. This could be a nice solution for a number of people. I certainly feel more confident about making mods to the low-pressure gas system, as opposed to the high-pressure system. Can you tell us what LP burner you have?

I googled for LP burners and realized I gave false infomation to ya'll, the burner is high pressure but works very well using the TM LP regulator. I've fried fish in a cast iron pot without having any problems getting the grease to 325 degrees. I apologize, I truly thought it was a LP burner. Here is the burner I'm using, The Bayou Classic high pressure cast iron fry burner.

I know you can get portable low pressure camp stoves. In fact, I think most stoves are low pressure because the regulator is built on the little arm that attaches to the disposable propane cylinder. There is no regulator on the stove itself.

Lester -

No problem! We all learn from each other on this board. That's why I asked the question.

By the way, I like the radio you have installed in your TM. Is that your own addition, or did the factory do it?

The radio was installed by the previous owner and that radio will play some Hank Jr. I think its a JVC

I had my dealer make the same mod on my new 2720SL. So...can just about any portable grill be used on the low pressure line as well...like a Coleman? Would it just require removal of the Coleman's regulator and then some kind of adaptor for the gas line to connect to the resulting opening?

I would think so, dealing with any type of pressure a good practice would be perfoming a thorough leak test before igniting.
