If your propane tank has no gauge, it can be frustrating to run out of propane in the middle of cooking dinner. Here's a simple trick for checking the propane level in your tank, without a gauge!

If you want to connect your propane grill to your RV the way we showed in our recent post on that topic, you can view it all here:

AND HERE'S THE PARTS LIST TO CONNECT A BBQ TO YOUR RV'S ONBOARD PROPANE TANK:
Extend-A-Stay with 12′ Extension Hose: amzn.to/2El5j71
1″-20 Female Throwaway Cylinder thread x 1/4″ Male Pipe Thread Adapters: amzn.to/2BCxgV1
15psi Propane Regulator: amzn.to/2DMZ8rq
1/4″ NPT Brass Male-to-Male Nipple: amzn.to/2ElYKBf
1″-20 Male Throwaway Cylinder thread x 1/4″ Female Pipe Thread Adapters: amzn.to/2FrkVVO – you’ll need two
12′ Propane Extension Hose: amzn.to/2nnayuX
1.5″ Desk Hole Grommet: amzn.to/2DUwOql
1.5″ hole saw: amzn.to/2FueBgp
Propane 1/4″ High-Pressure Quick Connect – Female with Shutoff Valve: bit.ly/1_4NPT-HP-QC-Female
Propane 1/4″ High-Pressure Quick Connect – Male: bit.ly/1_4NPT-HP-QC-Male
Yellow Gas/PTFE Tape: amzn.to/2EG0LrQ
Weber Q1000 Portable Grill: amzn.to/2BBSHFD
Rolling cart for Weber Q1000: amzn.to/2BBSUZr
Cover for Weber Q1000: amzn.to/2DLi9dN
Table Kit for Weber Q1000: amzn.to/2BBSORu
NOTE: The above parts are listed in the exact order we assembled them, running from the RV's propane tank to the grill. So two of the items are listed above twice, due to being required at different places along the length of the hose assembly.
The only exception to the "listed in order of assembly" is first item above (the Extend-a-Stay/12' Hose combination), since we separate them to add the 15 PSI regulator in between). And of course the last item, the yellow pipe tape, is used throughout.
