We found that the onboard tank was more trouble than its worth since we like to move the grill around to different spots. That said, if you wanted to hook it up i believe you would need to find a way to remove the regulator as the onboard hookup to most RV’s are after the low pressure regulator that controls your entire rig. I’m not 100% sure but i think the goal would be to avoid a double regulator configuration as that would probably result in no pressure. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks so much for the excellent information! Ours unfortunately stopped working after about 10 months and Weber sent us a new one that hasn’t had any of the issues so I think we had a defect. That said the safety feature you mention is what they had us troubleshoot in the beginning and is the solution 99% of the time I’m guessing. Thanks again!

I had a Weber Q 2200 on board our Allegro Bus that we used all the time. One day just before cooking a meal for the family that we had with us on a cross country trip, the Weber would not light. I found a nearby Lowes and bought the Weber Q 1200. (after 30 minutes of troubleshooting)
After returning home and getting on the phone with Weber, I figured out what the issue was. At that time I was using the small 1lb. canisters of propane. I found when I removed the canister to store the grill back on our coach, there was still a pocket of propane left in the grill. I didn’t want this to accidentally escape into the basement so I would remove the canister, fire up the burner and let it drain off.
This is what caused the issue I was having. By doing this, the regulator thinks there is a gas leak and it locks out. It is a built in “safety” feature. Weber has a great warranty and sent out a new regulator and I was back in business. Now I use the Q2200 at home the Q1200 on the road. I love them both!! I hope this helps others not to end up stranded when you have dinner ready to cook!!
