Barbeques, RVques, and Cat heaters: trying them out.

Barbeques and Rvques…

There are some good ideas on my former white box trailer. They had a rack on the side of the unit which held an “Rvque”, fired by a gas port under the trailer. Not wanting to put the holes in the Safari, I still wanted a small gas grill. Most portable grills were way too big, and I liked the small barbeque, but it was a rack model. So I put four legs and a rear stabilizer on it, and purchased a small aluminum stand (at Bob Wards)…

The way I understand it, most gas lines are run outside the rig for safety. But running a gas line under the trailer seemed a a bit much so I connected a stopcock and a quick disconnect at the propane cylinder, and have a 12’ hose attached to it, with another quick disconnect. Seems to work fine. Any comments? Am I online safety wise? See the pictures.


Cat heaters


My next idea is to place a small (WAVE 4) portable cat heater in the trailer. Again, I need to keep the gas lines outside. I drilled a hole in the floor and will place the quick-disconnect in the air return to the furnace. That keeps it out of the way, but if it ever does leak, the air goes right into the furnace flame. I better think on that a while. What does the community think?

I have a stopcock outside under the trailer. Copper and PEX tubing protect the line.

So little time, so many barbeques.
