Basically, when you talk gas supply and appliances, you have to know what is high pressure and what is low pressure. High pressure is what is in the tank: 1 Lb cylinder, 20 Lb cylinder, or mounted tank in your MH.

High pressure must be regulated to low pressure for use in most gas appliances including grills. The gas distribution system in any RV is at low pressure as the regulator is the first thing the gas hits coming out of a tank.

Most grills have their own regulators either built-in with the grill gas level knob or on the hose where it attaches to a 20 Lb tank.

Some grills are made specifically to connect to a low pressure source like the quick connect on your RV so they don't have a regulator, just a gas flow control and hose connection. It sounds like that is what you had before until you got a regulator for it.

What doesn't work is trying to connect a high pressure grill (one with its own regulator) to the RV quick connect which supplies already regulated, low pressure gas.
