Camper propane quick connect for grille

Question

My camper has a quick disconnect on the outside that goes to the propane system so that you can connect a grille. After doing some reading, I see that the pressure that comes out of that fitting is "regulated pressure". When I connect my weber grille though a hose with an adaptor, the grille has very little flame, I have read that they recommend you use a grille without a regulator since the output of the rv system is alrady regulated. Anyone run into this before?

You can use your weber but only if you get an "extend a stay" device. It goes between your tank and the rv's regulator. And has all the appropriate fittings

He just needs a hose with a fitting that will match the Q's gas valve input and at the other end a male quick disconnect fitting that matches his trailer's female quick disconnect.  Thousands if not tens if not hundreds of thousands of RV owners have done this mod and it works just fine.

Or you can use one of the kits here that has all the parts needed to replace the regulator on your Weber Q Propane gear

ORYou can buy a hose with a male end for the trailer end fitting. On the other end you can buy a fitting to replace the existing Weber regulator (1/8” npt’). Just screw off the regulator and screw on the 1/8 female fitting. You may need an adaptor. Lots of examples on YouTube.
