All I can say is, "Good luck." That hook up does't play nice. I've been trying to get a Coleman camp stove hooked up to the same gas port. I was able to finally fabricate a line that had both end connections to match. I purchased the Coleman regulator separate and cut the regulator part off and used the connection to the stove. I then cut the rubber hose that had the connection for the trailer.
End result? didn't work. The pressure regulator on the camper didn't match the required pressure on the camp stove and the flame blew out at the slightest puff of wind. The camper produced pressure too low for the stove. So, I'm back to using the 1 pound propane bottles from WalMart...
My Coleman stove adapter works just fine off the propane connector. clicky
How does the hose connect to the Coleman Stove? I cut and spliced just the part that screws into the Coleman Stove and attached to a hose that had the quick connect, but the camper pressure was too low to run the Coleman Stove. My RV dealership told me if I ran directly off the propane tank and not through the camper regulator it would work.
And I agree. I had this set up (below) several years ago, and it did work just fine. Of course, this set up never went through the trailer. I carried the extra 20 pound tank. The pressure regulator that came with the stove, that has a unique thread and connections proprietary to Coleman worked fine.
Here's a photo of the quick disconnect on my current 5er. Unfortunately, I broke the valve right after we purchased the camper because it was installed in such a way, nothing would connect to it. In attempting to angle it better, it broke. I had a lot of "fun" getting the parts together to move it down and easier to access. I also ended up putting a double shut off on this. Reason? I got the plumbing from the trailer and then couldn't get the match from the last pipe to the quick disconnect. I put the house style cut off valve on so I could continue using the trailer. I ended up buying a hose that hand the quick connect on it, and sacraficed a hose to get that last part that had the cut off with the quick disconnect. It works. Attaching anything with the quick disconnect works just fine, it's the other end that attaches to the Coleman end that was the problem. Then the difference in pressure required... it was easier just to go back to the 1 pound bottles for now.
One more note: This is from the link you provided:
THIS ADAPTER WILL ONLY WORK ON THE COLEMAN ROADTRIP LXE GRILL. IT WILL NOT WORK ON ANY OTHER TYPE OF COLEMAN STOVE OR GRILL.
I had already looked into this, it doesn't fit anything except this one specific model, which is the one you have. Doesn't work on any others.
