I have successfully adapted a grill and a firepit to run off our onboard Propane outlet.
You will not be able to attach your Big Red as it is currently configured. The hose that is attached to the pit has the control valve and regulator (in one unit) attached where it connects to the propane tank. This unit reduces the tanks's high pressure gas to low pressure for the pit's operation and also controls the volume of gas to the pit for a larger/smaller flame.
What you can do is remove the hose from the pit, attach a short jumper hose to it, install a control valve (since the pit does not have one built in),and then attach a long hose with the required quick connect on one end to the trailer.
I found this control valve

While on Amazon you can shop for the hoses you want.
FYI, I have 30' that I run between my grill and the RV, and the pit as well.
Keep the hose you remove for those times you want to hook up to a tank.
