Video Transcript for Review of the Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill
Hi, Steven here with etrailer.com. Thank you for joining me as we look at our Camco Olympian 5500 stainless steel RV propane grill. Now I've got everything laid out here today as far as what you're gonna get when you open the box. You obviously got your instructions, a nice, quick connect propane hose. You got a couple different brackets here that come included depending on how you wanna mount it. It comes with a stand.
Now lemme get a closeup here for you. Now this propane grill will let you cook delicious meals right outside your RV, camper, whatever, and it's made of a high quality, very lightweight stainless steel construction. It's got a two-way mounting bracket included for versatile use. And like I said, you can mount to the side of your RV or use the mount stand that's included as well. Now it does come with a grease tray.
You can use, slide that all the way out and empty the grease. And if you take a look inside here, it's got a spring loaded latch there. Now, as you can see it's got a nice grill cooking surface, and under that surface you can, kind of, see in the reflection there that plastic wrap piece, I left that wrapped up because that is your smoker plate and it comes pre-grease, you know, so it doesn't get rust on it or anything like that. That smoker plate's gonna allow you to get full flavor while minimizing grease fires. You can put some wood chips on top of that thing and maybe give you a nice smoky flavor as well.
Now like I said, it is nice lightweight stainless steel. And overall height, I was getting 10 inches from the ground to the top here. And as far as the width overall I was getting about 11 and three eighths inches by 23 inches long. Now that length on the 23 inches was from here all the way over here by the on and off assembly here. Now you can use this with one pound, five pound, or 20 pound propane cylinders.
The grill surface itself that you're gonna be cooking on, I was getting in a usable measurement of about 10 and a quarter inches wide by 16 and a quarter inches long. It does come with a nice thermometer here on the front so you can see how hot it's getting it inside. And again, it comes with the stands, the propane hoses, everything you need to use it. I wanna thank you for joining me today while we take a look at our Camco Olympian 5500 stainless steel RV propane grill. Let's get grilling and have a nice day.

Nice grill, just the right size for us. We tend to grill meat over charcoal, so this grill is intended for conveniently cooking foods like potatoes or fish wrapped in tinfoil. Excellent temperature control. I like the cast iron heat diffuser.

Great grill. We ordered the extra attachments to be able to use this at the park and to tailgate. I spent about fourty dollars on accesories to allow refilling of the 1lb canisters. We had our eyes on the 6500 but the iron heat sink sold me. The hot spots are almost non-existent and this grill gets HOT unlike the sidekick we are replacing. We can now quick connect to 20lb, 1lb, and to the low pressure RV quick connect.

Worked great when we had a camper. Works great on our boat. Works great on the patio. Would rather use this than most standard propane grills (for small grilling jobs. Heavy cast iron heat diffuser makes the difference. Great little grill.

We received the CAM7305 and are happy with it and it looks like it will be just the size that we need for when we are out on the road with our RV. When we unpacked it and checked it out we found that the latch is faulty and called Camco. They requested a picture sent to them and it stated that they would send us a new one.

I've had one of these for years, but it started to lose its spark. Time for a new one - a nice price from etrailer.

It's a great BBQ. The only reason for dropping a star is because I use the mount for the side of the RV and it attaches with just two small thumb screws to the thin gauge material on the bottom and this allows the unit to wobble side to side while in use and is hard to keep the BBQ level while mounted, thin material flexes too much where it's connected.
Otherwise and great size for a family of 5, can get all the steaks on it at once no problem. (P.S. thanks for reminding me to go modify it before our next trip HA HA!)

Hi, thanks, I do have that bracket. The two little thumb screws into the gauge material on the underside of the BBQ and where the flex and flimsiness is.

I have gotten in contact with the manufacturer and they have confirmed that it may not be the thumbscrews that are flimsy. If there is rocking of the grill, most likely one of the nut welds or plate rivets has come loose. Most common issue is, they get lost because there not attached to the mounting bracket. I would recommend checking that out. If you are still having issues, let me know.

Received order as promised. The Olympian 6500 grill by Camco is a good grill for using with your low pressure RV LP gas system. A US manufactured product. Would highly recommend. etrailer is a great company to order from. Thanks.

Over priced, poorly designed, heavy, and overheating is an understatement while no way to reduce the temperature without shutting down the intake line valve, and that becomes a trick. Don’t waste your money.

Thomas, Thank you for your review. I have contacted camco for you and this grill does not have a regulator on it. It is designed for low pressure propane from the RV. It is also designed to cook with lid open, with the lid shut it gets hot very quick.

This is a fairly large lighter to store in a camper draw. It tool 4-5 seconds or more to lite a simple Coleman stove until it quite working. Would not recommend this product.

I ordered my class V trailer ball mount for my 2500 2015 GMC truck and appreciated the information on the E trailer web site that helped me pick the correct amount of drop. The service was great,my only complaint is it would be nice to know that it was made in China.

The battery compartment is just a little to small. Hard to fit install the battery. Not like my old lighter.
Took a very long time to get it. No notification from etrailer about it. Not typical of my normal experience.

See what our Experts say about this Camco Portable Grills and Fire Pits
- Does Camco RV Olympian 4500 Stainless Steel Grill have Smoker Plate IncludedI called my contact at Camco and asked about the Olympian 4500 Grill, part # CAM57251. This particular grill does not have the smoker plate you asked about. If that is an option you want in a grill you may want to check out the Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel, part # CAM57305. This grill has 175 square inches of cooking surface and also features a quick-connect propane hose.
view full answer... - Availability of Travel Bag for Camco Olympian 5500 GrillHey Pete, yes you can get a travel bag for the Camco Olympian 5500 # CAM57305 that you referenced with the part # CAM57632. Do you have the Olympian already?
view full answer... - Replacement Burner Assembly Parts For A Camco Olympian 5500 Portable RV Propane Grill We carry the following replacement parts for your Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill # CAM57305: Replacement Burner for Camco Propane Grills # CAM58216. Replacement Piezo Electric Sparker for Camco Wave Heaters and Olympian Grills # CAM57800. Camco LP Gas Control Valve w/ Quick-Connect # CAM57274. If you need any additional burner assembly parts you would need to contact Camco directly.
view full answer... - Replacement Burner for Olympian 5500 Gas GrillIf the Camco Olympian # CAM57305 you have is the model with the bracket that can be used to mount the grill to the side of your RV or as a stand then the burner is # CAM58216. If you have the older version that just has legs the burner is no longer available.
view full answer... - Do You Offer a Propane Stove Which Will Quick Connect To Connection Port on An Airstream Camper? While our gas stove tops like the SI Outdoors Pinnacle Pro Camping Stove # GSI33RV require a connection to an unregulated propane tank, the Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill # CAM57305 will connect directly to your camper with the included hose. This grill is a great option as it has a stainless steel construction to best resist rust and corrosion.
view full answer... - Propane Hose and Adapter for Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill CAM57305The Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill # CAM57305 has a propane connector that accepts an RV's low-pressure male quick-connect propane fitting. The items my Camco contact recommends are Propane Hose # CAM57629 and Propane Adapter # CAM59213.
view full answer... - Two-Burner Propane Cooktop Recommendation for a 2018 Aliner Expedition CamperFor your application I recommend checking out the Cadac 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe Camping Stove # FR96EJ which has the 2 burners as well as the grill and griddle cook tops for different types of meals. The only propane stove we have that's designed to fit "on" a trailer is the Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel # CAM57305 that has the mounting bracket for a channel on the back side of it. If you don't have the rail then you also need part # CAM57268 to get this installed on your Aliner.
view full answer... - How to Use the Camco Olympian Grill with Disposable Propane BottlesSounds like you would like to be able to use the Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill # CAM57305 with a disposable propane tank that uses the screw on style fittings. All you would need to do that is the part # CAM57629 and adapter # CAM59213.
view full answer... - Is There an Installation Video For The Camco RV Grill Mounting Rail # CAM57268? While we currently do not have an installation video for the Camco RV Grill Mounting Rail # CAM57268 the installation is rather straight forward. Depending on the framing type on your camper will help you determine the type of mounting hardware you will need. The height of your camper can also help you to determine if you want to mount it to the floor framing structure or the wall framing on your camper. If you have a fiberglass exterior you will most likely have a steel framing which can...
view full answer... - Can a Portable Grill with Built-In Regulator be Attached to the Quick-Disconnect on a CamperI do have the correct fitting part # CAM59213 and hose part # 100476-48-MBS that will allow you to attach the female quick-disconnect fitting (photo 1) on your trailer to the type 1 fitting (photo 2) on your propane grill. However, the issue you are going to run into is that the female quick-disconnect fitting on your trailer is most likely ran through the regulator which means you can't then use another regulator on the actual grill because it would reduce the water column output too much....

- Recomended Griddle for Camco Olympian 5500 Propane GrillThe Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill # CAM57305 has a width of 18 inches and depth of 11-1/2 inches. The Camco Camping Griddle - 16-1/2" Long x 10" Wide # CAM51048 will work well for this grill to give you the cooking surface you desire. If you look at the reviews you will see a customer that has the combination and is happy with how they work together.

- Can I Use Camco 6500 or 5500 On Swing Away Bumper Grill Arm AssemblyYes, I contacted Camco and both the Olympian 6500 part # CAM57245 and Olympian 5500 part # CAM57305 have the same bracket that comes with them that mounts on the RV. The feet can also be folded to sit on a flat surface. The 6500 measures 21-1/4" long x 12-1/2" deep and the 5500 measures and the 5500 measures 18" long x11-1/2" deep so as long as the grill fits on your surface you can fold the feet and use it that way.

- Dimensions of the Camco Olympian 5500 Grille # CAM57305I went out into our warehouse and measured the dimensions of the Camco Olympian 5500 Grille # CAM57305 and found it is 18 inches wide, 11-1/2 inches deep and 9 inches tall.

- Parts to Connect Blackstone Griddle to RV Propane SupplyAs you noted, you can't have the propane supply going through two regulators as it would not supply the correct pressure that your griddle needs to function properly. It doesn't look like the the propane regulator on the 36-inch Blackstone griddle is removable; therefore, you have two options. The first option you have is to not use the quick disconnect port on your trailer and instead tap into the propane supply before it goes through the regulator with a combination of the MB Sturgis...

view full answer... - How to Regulate Temperature with Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill # CAM57305The Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill # CAM57305 is intended for use with a low-pressure propane source. It includes a knob for gas flow regulation much like a standard home gas grill does. It is not uncommon for a very full propane tank to output more pressure than it does when its propane level has dropped even slightly. If the source you are using is a very full tank you might keep using the grill until the tank's pressure has dropped. I know that my home gas grill...
view full answer... - Dimensions on Replacement Cooking Grate for Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane GrillI went out to our warehouse so I could physically take a couple measurements on the Camco Replacement Cooking Grate # CAM57863 that you referenced. I did find that the actual measurements on the grate are 16-1/2 inches long and 10-1/4 inches wide (from outside to outside). I have attached an image with these dimensions labeled that you can also use for reference. This particular grate is designed specifically to replace the cooking grate on the Camco Olympian 5500 RV Propane Grill # CAM57305.

- How To Connect a Propane Griddle/Grill To a Quick Disconnect Port On a TrailerI looked up the Blackstone Griddle online and seen that it accepts a 1 lb propane bottle therefore it would have a disposable cylinder fitting on the end. If that is the case then you can use the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose part # 100476-120-MBS to attach this to the female quick disconnect port on your trailer. However, this option most likely will not work for you because the quick disconnect port on your trailer is already ran through the propane regulator. This hose will...
view full answer... - Replacement Wire and Sparker for Camco Olympian 5500 GrillYou are correct that the Replacement Piezo Electric Sparker # CAM57864 only comes with the push button assembly. To replace the wire and sparker in your Camco Olympian 5500 Grill, like part # CAM57305, you will need part # CAM57858.
view full answer... - Replacement Hose Needed for Camco Olympian 5500 Propane Grill # CAM57305The Camco Quick-Connect to Quick-Connect # CAM57280 is a great hose to use as a replacement for your Camco Olympian 5500 # CAM57305. This hose is 3 feet long and features quick-connect connectors on both the male and female ends, which makes for a quick and easy setup of your grill. You can also use the Camco Olympian Grill Storage Bag # CAM57632 to store your Olympian Grill and your hose to help avoid damage to it.
view full answer... - Will Camco Olympian CAM57305 attach to Quick Disconnect of Winnebago Micro MinnieYes the Camco Olympian 5500 Stainless Steel RV Propane Grill # CAM57305 uses the same quick connect style fitting as what your Winnebago Micro Minnie has so it will fit and work great.
view full answer... - Recommended Grill Stand for Camco CAM57305 RV Propane BBQ GrillFor your Camco # CAM57305 Grill, I'd recommend a stand like the Camco # CAM57293 which would offer fold out side tables and storage under the grill. The grill stand folds down and stores in its included # 37" long x 20" wide x 6" tall carrying bag. This would be a safe and convenient option. I've linked to a product video featuring the # CAM57293 stand I recommended.

If your trailer does not have a grill mounting rail like part # CAM57268 then this will not be as stable as needed. We do sell those mounting rails if you are needing one.
