Can't say I've ever seen an RV with a high pressure line to the quick disconnect. Maybe it was rigged up that way by a previous owner who didn't want to remove the regulator from his grill?
Anyway, sending gas through two regulators will indeed prove non-functional, as you found out.
If you regulate the burners on your Camp Chef via a knob ON the regulator, you've got a problem. If, however, the regulator is separate from the burner control knob, all you need to do is remove the Camp Chef regulator and plumb that baby right to the line you just installed. Well, ok, maybe through a quick disconnect.
For what it is worth, I would consider a high-pressure gas line to be a bit of a safety hazard. Gas regulators have a flow rate limiter in them, and the longer the high pressure unregulated gas line is, the more chance of bad juju in the event of an accident, as well as simply increasing the places likely to leak due to the high pressure.
