Can I Run A Blackstone Grill On The Propane From A Jayco Travel Trailer?
Updated 02/17/2026 | Published 06/20/2024
Question:
I have a jayco 198rb travel trailer and it has a single 20 lb tank that attaches to a regulator and then follows a hose half-way back to a block that has 5 ports. 4 of the ports go to a stove, fridge, furnace, however heater and the last port has a plug in it. Id like to remove the plug and add a line to the opposite side of the rv so that I can connect it to a camping blackstone cooker when camping. What can I purchase to make that work from the male end plug in the block?

Hello James, thanks for reaching out. There is no way to connect a grill to the propane manifold on your RV. The propane coming from the manifold is already regulated, and accessories like a Blackstone grill require unregulated propane. One option is to install a Tee like part # 103537-MBS so you can connect your grill to your 20 lb tank without cutting off the gas supply to the rest of the RV.
If it were me, I would simply carry an extra propane tank to use with the Blackstone. A refillable tank like the Ignik Gas Growler X # GN37FR is a great option that will not take up a ton of space in the camper.
