Matt, found this one on amazon. It might work.

The existing fitting I have right now is similar to this type.


What I am looking for is a "T" that connects to this fitting, then has two similar type connectors on the other ends. That way I do not have to purchase different hoses as both my Grill and stove connect to this.

quick disconnect

The Torjik QUICK-Y allows two low-pressure appliances to be easily connected to the quick-connect output fitting on your RV. Just connect the male end of the Torjik QUICK-Y into the standard female quick-connect port fournd on most RV's. Now you have TWO female quick-connects available! Pair the QUICK-Y with 2 stardard 8' Quick Connect Appliance Hose or have us build any custom length hose you need. The QUICK-Y is equipped with 1 standard type 250 male quick-connect and 2 standard type 250 female quick-connects. The Torjik QUICK-Y is a heavy-duty, purpose built fitting. If you spend time in your RV, whether it be camping, tailgating or at an RV park, you will LOVE the Torjik Quick-Connect Y!

Just a update, getting ready to pull the trigger on a '16 213RBSL Platinum Plus Edition. The rig will be delivered to a local dealer in a couple of weeks. Planning an extensive PDI before any money changes hands. If there is much wrong with it, I'm not signing. I will just wait for another unit or until they fix that one.

Hopefully we'll be camping in our new Aerolite by very early spring. Looking forward to opening day in the Eastern Sierras. Planning on getting to Crowley, Twin lakes and Tahoe over the coarse of ten days or so.

Thanks to all, on this forum, I've learned a lot from reading all your posts. I will continue to glean info from you guys and hope to be able to contribute also.

shower door

One thing: If they haven't changed out the shower door for a slider Make them do it in the deal.. You can't open the shower door from inside the bathroom. and once in you must exit the kitchen to get out .. and Get them to throw in a "bumper mounted grill" ..they will.
enjoy!!!

Lol, I have learned to close all the shades before starting the shower. You can stradle the toilet to open the shower door, but that's a pain. Wish I would have asked for a grill. Trying to find a bumper mount and grill without paying $900 is tricky so far.

Thanks for the heads up on the shower. So there is a sliding door option?

I was looking at adding this grill mount Camper Grill, portable camper grill, bumper mount Doesn't seem unreasonable for a couple of hundred bucks. Is it comparable to what Dutchmen offers?

How are you not able to open the shower door from inside the bathroom? I don't like the fact that the door hits the toilet, but there's plenty of room to get in ours from inside.

Wyo, I agree with you, in that having the shower door replaced with a slider and have Dutchmen do it under warranty is preferable to straddling the toilet. Was there something wrong with the OEM door and if not how did you get them to replace it ? Please post some photos when you get your rig back.

There's people fighting to get important things fixed like plumbing and A/C. I don't know how I would get Der Dutchmen to replace a door that is poor design, not broken.

That's strange. I guess they're using different doors than they did 2 years ago. I have actually rubbed the ceramic off of the toilet from using the shower.

I keep forgetting to put a rubber bumper on the door.
