thanks!
If you have a capped off tee underneath, it's real easy once you've collected the parts. If not, removing the black pipe to install a tee is more work, but not that bad. If you modify anything, you should leak test it afterwards.
The adapters are the easiest way to go for sure, but a quick-connect is a nice convenient thing to have. If your BBQ has a regulator on it, you'll need to remove it because you don't want two regulators in series.
On our TT, there was a capped tee underneath which made it easy to connect to and I ran a length of hose to the quick-connect and valve in the pic. I removed the end off the regulator on our Roadtrip grill and with the right fittings, connected it to the hose in the 1st pic. All parts readily available locally and they're all ordinary stuff. You don't need to go to CW to get any of the fittings or hose. You can try places like Ace Hardware, HD, stores specializing in BBQs and independent RV parts/repair shops. Dealers will likely gouge you. IIRC, I had to go to several places to get all the pieces.
This setup is simply so convenient and quick to set up. A highly recommended mod....
