Fitting for RV propane line

Found this T with a plug on my RVs propane line while at Mardon last weekend.

I'd like to tap into it and create a quick connect for a propane grill. Basically I'm tired of using the green bottles and would like to use the trailer's propane.

Any ideas where I can get something for this?

If you use the hose kit that Scumby posted, it will be tapping directly off the bottle (high pressure). If you tap into your RV lines where that plug is at, you will be tapping into regulated pressure (less than 1 psi) and cannot use that on your portable grill unless it has no regulator and/or is setup to have a regulated feed line.

The plug in the pic is just standard pipe thread. You can tap off that and adapt to a quick-connect fitting kit:

You can buy hoses that use those same quick-connect fittings.

I have a Coleman Roadtrip grill and there's a way to strip the regulator for use on the low pressure line. Thanks Wrench, I'm gonna try tapping off that T on the low pressure line.
