A quick trip to your local RV store will take care of this for you, the hose you need has the quick connect to the trailer low pressure LP on one end and a standard screw on connector to the Camp Chef (same size as for those 1lb bottles). I added a 10 ft extension hose in the middle so that I had more flexibility in moving the stove where I wanted it. One caution, do not use the stove too near the trailer. I melted the caulking on my wheel well trim - Camp Chef burners pump out 30k BTU per burner, so you need some space. You might also need bigger LP tanks, I seem to churn through them pretty quick.


I looked up the Weekender online - MSRP is $185.... not cheap.

You're in Canada, who do you buy from ?

Thanks.

I got a hose at Sportsmans Warehouse (a little cheaper than from camp chef) that threads onto the camp chef and has the quick disconnect at the other end. All I did was swap hoses and plug it in to the RV. Everything works fine.

We use it on a table top (craft table) perpendicular to the trailer, but the hose is long enough to get it out from under the awning if you want. We didn't melt the table or anything on the trailer but that doesn't mean you couldn't.

I like it a lot better than my Coleman propane stove because the temperature is a lot better regulated. Coleman seems to have high, higher, and way higher.

I can't speak of propane consumption because I have yet to refill this summer. But I'm starting to think it's getting about time.


Is this it?

Yeah, just about like that. No yellow piece at the top, but that is probably just a brand difference.

Looking at the camp chef website, it looks like there are some high pressure stoves so you might want to check the part numbers to see that you have/are looking at at low pressure version.
I have an older model Pro-60 that we got of craigslist for $40 or $50 since it was missing the hose, which didn't really matter since we knew it would be for the trailer.

Camp Chef here as well. Works real well right off the low pressure fitting.

Hi,

you're right, they aren't cheap, but on the other hand, they are not cheaply built either! I bought the 3 burner model with a 1 burner griddle and a 2 burner BBQ online from Cabelas and had it shipped to us in Montreal. Since I'm the one that cooks, I figured I was worth the investment. They are quality stoves and accessories that are built like tanks...

Thankyou Steve, one more thing do we need a special connector or hose or are the directions right on the package. Going camping next week.
