The best way to find out is to start at the front of the trailer. Lay on your back and look up. Follow the propane line back until it ends. While your under there do yourself a favor and look for any openings that may invite rodents or insects inside. Better yet take a can of spray foam with you and fix it while you're there.
While you're under there, take a picture of the labels on the axles that have the manf info on them. Also take pictures of the low point and fresh water drains so you'll know where they are. Pictures of the back of the wheels may have info about the max weight and air pressure. That can come in handy if you want to replace the tires with the next load range up.
You may also consider checking the brake wires where they enter/exit the axle tubes. That area can chafe and short the wire over time. A wire loom wrap or take some small tubing and slit it length wise and wrap then tape it will prevent chafing.
Shouldn't take more than an hour but can save you many headaches in the future.

I’ll have to check to make sure when I’m at work on Monday, but off the top of my head the answer would be yes. Typically there is a small yellow plug in the quick connect so easy to spot. I’ve seen some near the door, but most are behind the axle.

If you have an outside kitchen check just under neath where it’s at. Look for a yellow plug/cap.

No outside kitchen on Alpines.

I’d rather doubt you will find any exterior propane QD fitting on any Alpine

Pick up this Y fitting & hose the length of your chose to add to your curbside propane tank, no need to remove grill or other appliances regulator, no piping to redo & place the grill wherever suits you.

Both tanks on the Avalanche are on the street side but that's a great idea for those blessed with a curbside tank.

Just confirmed, we have 3 Alpines on the lot, all different models, no quick connects. It’s not difficult to add them, I’m sure your dealer would do it if you negotiate it in at the time of sale.
