I just want to thank 12thgenusa for this excellent mod. I just got done installing on our Suburban range and love it. My wife and I do lots of baking and are full-timers. If there was a place to vote for best rv mod of the 21st century, it would have my vote, with the Weber Q grill mod being a distant 2nd place. Thank you so very much.

Roadrunner275,
What mod for the Weber Q are you referring to? I've got one and anything I can do to make it better would be great!
Maybe you could provide a link to the mod?
Thanks

Here's a link.

It's a mod to allow the grill to be connected to the low pressure LP line that are pre-plumbed on many RVs. It's very simple and costs about $38. I ordered the 2 parts from Amazon. A Camco quick disconnect hose, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0024E62OI/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1320989192&sr=8-1 and a Camco Olympian gas valve http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0024E62CU/ref=mp_s_a_3?qid=1320989336&sr=8-3 . I removed the gas valve and regulator from the grill, and then removed the regulator from the gas valve. I took the new Camco Olympian gas valve and removed the male quick connect fitting from it and threaded right onto the Webe
r Q gas valve. Use some gas rated teflon tape on the threads of course. Reinstall the valve on the grill. Done. Hook the quick connect hose up and you are ready to grill. It seemed that when I researched doing this mod that some people struggled with getting the right parts. The Camco parts worked perfect with no extra, unneeded fittings. I don't know why but my favorite mods involve food in one way or another???

Thanks Roadrunner!
Unfortunately (fortunately?) I don't have a low pressure line on our rig. I just use a a Stay Flow system (Stay Flow Adapter) to supply my Weber or any other propane appliance.
I agree on the food related mods, I am always looking for something to help me cook, either inside or outside!

Next week is slide-out organizers in the food pantry. I do see a pattern developing.

Replace that lousy bulb above the stove (part of the light/fan assembly) with one of these: High Power 36-1210 SMD LED Festoon Dome Bulb Warm White and your DW will be overjoyed!
It worked so well that I replaced the bulb over the sink in the bathroom/vanity area and she is ecstatic. Says she can now see well enough to put on her makeup.

Did that one already. Installed aimable LED track lighting above stove at the edge of slide out. Also installed under kitchen cabinet adjacent to stovetop. Hooked it all to the switch that used to go to that little crappy light, you know the one that sits next to the switch for the loud crappy fan in the exhaust hood.

Like Ron White said ... The food got better when he told the wife that the smoke alarm wasn't a cooking timer.
