Retail source for connectors for propane mod?

EDIT to clarify: A LOCAL source is needed - no time to order anything online before we leave.

I'm trying to bypass the regulator on my Coleman RoadTrip grill to use the low pressure propane line on the back of the TT. I need to find a few items at retail, and am having a heck of a time, Hoping to find a source before we head out for the Great Christmas Camping Trip on Sunday. I need:

1/8 in. M to 1/4 in. F reducer - preferably an elbow - or add a 1/4 in elbow
1/4 in. to quick connect male connector

And to adapt the regulator so that I can use high pressure sources:

Quick connect female to 1/8 in. F connector

Anyone know where I might be able to buy this stuff? I've tried Lowes, Home Depot, and a few local hardware and BBQ supply shops.

Thanks!

The Camco connectors are pretty much the standard for RVs. Although any propane dealer can do the job every dealer seems to carry different connectors. I bought Camco connectors and took them to a propaje dealer snd had him make up hoses. Nothing wrong with propane dealer connectors except they aren't the RV standard. Camco sells everything you will need to convert it.

Try a Propane retailer - most larger ones (the ones who supply home tanks and deliver gas) have a parts section at their location. That's where I went when I wanted to do the same as you. I took the grille in with me, explained what I wanted to do and they found all the bits.
