I did the mod on our old Road Trip grill and shown in the photo. Worked well. You don't want two regulators in series.
Taking the pieces apart on the Coleman regulator may be really tight or may not be. I had to take ours to a machine shop. When you take the knurled piece apart, there is a little spring & plunger inside that is the check valve. Be careful that they don't get away on you and make sure to put them back in.
If you have such a place in your area, I'd go to an industrial hose supplier. They'll have all the right parts. I went to 3 different retail places to get the right parts. I'd suggest a 20' hose so you can move the grill around and a 3/8" dia. (not 1/4") to get better flow. There are a couple of types of material the hoses are made from and one is very flexible and is easy to uncoil. The other can get stiff in colder weather.
Don't know what's under the TT but you might be able to add a tee either at the line to the furnace, stove or fridge. On a previous TT it had a capped tee already. The 2nd photo shows the quick connect fitting I added on the same TT. If you end up having to add a tee that isn't where you want the female quick connect fitting you could always run a length of 1/2" rubber propane hose and tie wrap it in place. Leak test what you modify with soapy water and use the correct PTFE tape.
