Is there a quick connect LP on a 2020 Bullet 258 RKS
Purchased our trailer from a private seller and don't have an owners manual or as much information as we need. Can anyone tell me if there's an LP quick connect for hooking up a grill or fire bowl on our model of trailer? Thanks for helping a newbie.

Not sure on your particular trailer, but if it, they’re easy to add. I put two on mine this year, one for the camp chef stove, one for the grill

OK. If I can't find it will go that direction. And thank you!

Most if not all.... Propane lines are under the unit. Follow the line and all the branch's to their end. Just might find what you are looking for.

Shouldn’t be difficult to find if you have one. It’ll be on the door side tucked under the frame. Probably about a foot in from the outside of the sidewall. Many times they have a yellow or blue rubber plug.

I added a propane quick connect on the curb side of my Alpine. Pretty simple and really works well for our grill and flat top. Works only on low pressure 1/2 psi propane appliances only, some Coleman stoves use 15psi, a much higher pressure.

Interesting place to tap into the lines. On mine, the furnace is on door side, I just put a T in the black pipe line and ran 1/2” black pipe to the rear of the rv. Then added another T with a 1” pipe followed by an elbow to install two quick connects. I have a thread showing the install somewhere on here. I’ll find it and post the link

Good install! The quick connects sure make things easier by not having to carry propane tanks and securing them for travel! We installed a single quick connect on the rv and made a tee at the first grill to run a short hose to the flat top. Light, simple, easy and safe!

I used to just use a smaller grill with the green bottles and the camp chef so I would pull one of the lp tanks off the rv instead of bringing extras. I got a different grill that used the big tank so it was either get a t fitting to run both or add quick connects. This is definitely much easier than pulling a tank off the rv or brining an extra one along

We quit using the green bottles because about half of them leaked propane when I disconnected them from the grill. We went to bringing along 20# tanks but that got old quick by the weight of them and trying to tie them off in the back of the truck, hence the quick connects and now our camping life is much easier now. Easier = better! Our Alpine has 2 30# tanks. I keep one on and one off so I will know when one is empty. I designed and installed an electric central heat unit that uses ZERO propane in winter weather. Our first 30# propane tank lasted us 9 months before it ran out last week. That was through a winter camping every three weeks.

Look under the back passenger side near the outside kitchen
