Well, I love the stove/grill. The problem is making it work with the trailers propane system. Coleman does not want you to modify or change the regulator they provide. The hard line tube between the regulator and the stove is a very hard to come by thread pitch. I made my own adaptor and run an adjustable regulator up front at the bottle. So the house has one reg and the stove has one reg.

I like mine too. You have to use foil under the grill or it gets nasty pretty quick, and there's no lid if you're trying to slow-cook something. For burgers, chicken legs and steaks it's just fine. There's also a griddle available to put in place of the grill, so you can make pancakes and use the left burner at the same time.

EDIT: I've kind of changed my mind about the thing. The concept is awesome, but on our first trip while opening the top, I accidentally let go and it fell open, and snapped the hinges off. The sheetmetal is beer-can thin. Unfortunately, nobody makes anything like it. I may end up replacing it with a better stove, and get one of those nice stainless steel portable grills they have at Costco.

You still have to use the regulator on the end of the hard pipe.
That hose only relocate the fuel canister.

I used something like that to connect a Master Forge grill to a 30# propane tank a few years ago.
It was only a thought and suggestion. If you have a system that works for you .... so be it.
