I would be tempted to get a (nice) camp stove with a flexible hose connection to the bottle and construct a suitable depression in the countertop for it. There's no inherent reason why the cylinder can't be in the RV with the cooktop while you're using it, at least none that I can come up with; frankly, the greater danger seems to me to be from the combustion products of the burners than from undetected leaking propane or whatever from the bottle connection.
For very occasional use, there's no need to build the depression for the camp stove; just set it on the counter and make your delicious hot food.
To answer your question, though, there's nothing wrong with using suitably-specified rubber hose between a regulator and a usual RV cooktop for temporary use such as this. Paying attention to chafing etc. in the appropriate places is a good idea, of course; and using hose with a braided metal cover would be preferable but not essential IMHO.
