Not sure if it will work for you, but it may possibly be less complex to do, take a look at this mod done for a Weber Q.

They removed the reg from the BBQ, but kept it and installed quick release connections on the BBQ and the reg, so they could quick release plug the hose directly into the BBQ using the reg on the RV and then if they wanted to run off the bottle again, they just quick release plugged in the reg and screwed in a bottle again.
I did this mod for my Weber and all it cost me was a pair of quick releases, 1 hose, a collar, and some gas tape. Got the collar and tape at Lowes and the quick releases and hose from my local RV dealer.
I would be interested to see it, but it requires you to join the forum to view. Any chance you could copy and paste it back on here?
In any case... I think I get the gist of what you are saying... Add a "Tee" AFTER the MH regulator, put quick connects on the grill hose before/after the regulator and at the end that connects to the MH gasline. Connect or disconnect the regulator as needed for the application.
It is a thought, and seeing the write-up it might be cleaner than I picture it (I could see taking off the d*)n regulator and losing it somewhere).
On the other hand, if I connect BEFORE the MH regulator I could still run the MH gas appliances on a portable 20lb tank if I needed to -- something I couldn't do if I put the Tee AFTER the regulator.
Don't think I'm trying to shoot this down... It might have more merit than I am giving it credit since I can't actually see how they did it.
(Didn't mean to say the same thing... I must have been writing this at exactly the same time Dutch was writing his response...)
