Propane disconnect

In my new to me Motorhome, there is a quick-disconnect propane fitting in one of my bays, what type and where do I find a hose to connect this fitting to my Coleman grille in place of the small gas bottle?

I'm using a Coleman LXE Road Trip which has a regulator that screws to the 'backside' to accept a 1 lb green bottle.

I'll have to trace my coach's propane line to determine if it's high or low pressure.

Some Weber grills now have a smart regulator that cut out if it sees low pressure. The square Coleman grill is made to work with th quick disconnect adapters.

You don't, unless you can remove the grill's regulator - with some like the Weber Q series this is quite easy, with other grills not so much because of the way it's designed. Unfortunately you haven't told us exactly which model grill you have.

Can you trace the hose to the quick connect fitting back to point of origin? If it's plumbed in between the main propane tank valve and the coach appliance regulator, it's high pressure. If it's plumbed in after the coach appliance regulator, it's low pressure. Got to figure that out first, as it affects whether you'll need to remove the regulator from your intended use appliance (Coleman grille).
If it's T-ed between the main tank valve and the regulator, Menards will have all sorts of hoses and fittings for this sort of application, or you could go to a propane shop, like Blue Flame, and have them custom build one for you. I had a T-ed connection between my main valve and regulator (high pressure) so I didn't have to remove the grille's regulator. I had the Blue Flame guys in Lexington build me a custom 15' hose with the appropriate fittings to connect my Weber Q2200 without removing anything from it. Cost around $50 bucks for parts and labor.

I removed the regulator from my Weber 2000 grill and replaced it with a male quick connect fitting so I can use it from my low pressure propane line on my TT. I then bought a propane hose with a regulator attached and a female quick connect fitting so I can use the Weber from a small bottle or 20# tank if I so choose. I can run the grill from any propane source.

The real problem is the small bottle is high pressure and your hook up is low pressure. I have taken a buddy heater. Opened up the sealed regulator to allow low pressure work but I would not recommend doing with out understanding what you are doing.
Good luck with your project.
