Okay I think I have it I need to get a different barbecue that will hook into the low pressure line this barbecue has the high to low regulator and also the temperature adjustment on top of it so I don't believe I'll be able to use this on the camper low pressure line thank you very much
As long as you are using the RVs regulated propane line, there is no need for an additional regulator at the BBQ. The BBQ and RV regulator should have nearly identical output pressure.
Some BBQs the regulator is removable from the hose, some not.
Here is a pix of my home BBQ which is not removable from the hose.
In my case, I would have to follow the hose from the regulator to where the hose connects..
Which is at the valve manifold on the BBQ..
Unscrew the hose connection and remove the BBQ hose and regulator and install new hose with quick disconnect for the RV propane line.
Note, you cannot connect the BBQ directly to any high pressure propane source using the hose without the regulator!!!
Initial test, I would make sure you have the BBQ not mounted to the RV and a bit of distance just in case things goes sideways.
Might want to use a match on a long match holder or a lighter with long reach for the first light to keep hands, arms and face at a safer distance..
On edit..
Forgot to mention, if you are one of the lucky ones to have a regulator with the burner flame adjustment and shut off, you are out of luck.. You would not have any way to turn off the gas nor control the burner output.
That is one of the reasons I mentioned posting a pix with make and model of your BBQ..
