The first thing you need to do is to split the line where you want to install your T so you can see what you need. If you pull the pipe on the upstream end of your regulator, it's probably a 1/2" pipe thread.

It all depends on how your manufacturer put it together. Once you get it split you'll be able to tell. All possible fittings should be available in a good hardware store, auto supply store or at a propane dealer.
We've done what you want to do, but mine is set up to feed propane from a 5 gal BBQ type bottle to the rig so I don't have to pack the rig up to go into town when I need propane. Just be sure you put a propane valve just downstream of your new T to the BBQ. That way if your hose springs a leak, it can be isolated from your rig propane system.
