I've got a 2007 Jayco GS33 with a quick-release gas fitting for a BBQ on the side of the coach. Not having the optional BBQ normally sold with these RVs, I purchased a Weber BabyQ with the 6 foot gas extension hose. The fitting on the end looks like it would fit into a normal 5 gal LP bottle but I would like to ise the quick release already mounted to my coach. Does anybody know where I might find an adapter to bridge from the end of my Weber hose to the quick-release fitting?
Thanks for any help you can offer,

There is more involved than just connecting a hose that will work.
The quick-disconnect LPG fitting on your RV provides regulated (low) gas pressure.
In order for the Weber Q to operate at that pressure, it's internal propane regulator needs to be removed otherwise you will be "double" regulating and the Q will not work properly.

that makes complete sense, you couldn't have tank pressure at the pop-off fitting (that would be way too much fun) and the Weber fuel line is ment to be attached directly into tank pressure.
Is the Weber internal regulator removable or do you think I should purchase a dedicated tank for this thing?
btw, typo... it's a 33 DS, not a GS.
Thanks

You should be able to get the right parts from a BBQ Store or Propane Dealer. Yes the regulator on the Q is removable and put a quick disconnect in its place. I put quick disconnects on the regulator too so that I can use the Q away from the TH.

You can get the various propane quick release adapters at Lowes. Our local Lowes in Plattsburgh NY carries most of these things throughout the summer season.

I went to a local store that deals in pickup caps, trailers and has a lot of camping and rv parts. They were able to make up a hose with the male quick connect on one end and a threaded male end to connect to the grill on the other end. I removed the regulator from the grill and connected the hose to the grill where the regulator was. Works great.

Just a thought, I also have a Baby Q and we like to use at home as it's just the wife and I and our full size Weber is overkill. Wouldn't it be easier to just by a standard hose that you use with the coleman green bottles, then put a connection on one of your propane tanks before the splitter. Then you could just connect to your TT tank and use it camping. Then when you get home you could still use it with a propane bottle at home.

As has been said, the fitting is low pressure, the regulator on the grill wants high pressure.. You either need to do a major re-plumb job on the grill or simply install a Extend-A-Flow on the trailer (Extend-a-Stay on motor homes)
You may need one other adapter as well.. Depending on the regulator end of the supplied with grill hose (The Extend-a-stay has a fitting like the top of a throw away bottle.. You need an adapter from that to an ACME to mate with your hose)
Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business

Actually, on the Weber Q, it is very simple to remove the regulator and replace it with the fitting for the hose since the regulator is separate from the control valve.
