@cdlaine, I have discovered that there are, in fact, two quick-connects in use on RV propane systems, an "old" one and a "new" one. The trouble is that you can't tell either by the rigs age or by eye which is which, they appear to differ only by the few thousandths of an inch, just enough to be incompatible. (I think it is a commie plot, but I could be wrong.)
In any case, my local RV dealer has two big boxes of the male ends for each. They are about $7 each, and last time I needed one to hook up my grill, I bought one of each, and took the "wrong" one back for refund, which they were happy to give. I'll bet that RV dealers in your neighborhood stock both as well. (In case you don't live near an RV dealer, my guy is RB Taylor & Sons in Lynchburg, VA. Friendly, helpful folks, and I'm sure they'd be happy to pull a pair from those boxes for ya and mail 'em.)
As well, don't need a special regulator, just need to lose the regulator on the grill to use the quick connect. That line is already regulated to the pressure you need for the grill, and you'll get nothing at all if the grill also has a regulator on it. My grill (regulator removed -- it was purchased with an eye to RV use) works like a charm off that line.
