A Coleman Road Trip grill will definitely work after the regulator at your tanks. We've done it as well as many others have also. Two regulators will not work in series so you need to remove the one on the grill. The photo shows our mod. You can get the needed fittings at hardware stores and some RV parts vendors.
When taking the Coleman regulator apart, there is a small spring inside for the check valve and you need to be careful the pieces don't go flying off. You just want the brass fitting on the end of the Coleman regulator and the right brass fitting to thread into it.
You shouldn't have to get a hose made up. You can use a standard LP hose with female ends. We have a 20' hose with 3/8" dia. A 1/4" hose may restrict the flow if too long. We get a bit of a lazy flame at times, but it's almost as good as the flame on the range inside.
Definitely a worthwhile mod!
