Troubleshooting RV Propane Grill that Has Low Output When Connected to Feed Line w Two Regulators
Question:
I have a new Smoke Hollow 205 Stainless Steel TableTop Propane Gas Grill for camping. The hose I purchased from the dealer only puts out a small flame when connected to the camper quick connect. Ive tried a different campers quick connect and it does the same thing. Could I have a bad hose or would this hose work better? Or is it a double regulator problem? I have used a different hose that hooks directly to my large tank on the camper and the grill works fine.

If you are regulating your propane twice that would be why you are experiencing low output on your grill. This is further proven when you said you ran it directly to your propane tank and the grill worked fine.
So what you need is a tee connector installed in line with your current propane tank before the regulator like with the part # 103537-MBS so that you can get unregulated propane to your grill that has a regulator.
