I just got a hose at Walmart which is made for such a purpose. As I recall, it was a about $20. It had a picture on the packaging of the 20 lb. tank hooked up to a portable grill. It was in the area with the grills and accessories.

Here's what I use:
Stay Flow
I put it permanently inline on the awning side of the 5er and can then use the 12' hose to locate my barbeque near the front.

A Weber runs off bottle pressure, not the regulated (reduced) pressure in your TT. I just use a Weber direct hose to a propane tank. I don't want to run a separate gas line because I'm cautious of explosive things. I suppose I could someday set up a full pressure feed to my retired RVQ gas supply, but I'm not going to do that til I get my brother in law the plumber to approve my plan. Only problem is every time we get together, I forget to show it to him.
On edit: the above links show a great way to do it.

This is what I use. Hook it to tank after setting up and don't touch it till tear down. Also bought an 8' extension to connect to it. 23' total.
Works like a charm.

I am not familiar with the Weber grill or what pressure it requires to the burner, but I have a Broil King Porta Chef and I used to have to take one of the lpg tanks off of the trailer for it which was a pain, I considered the adapter for the tanks etc. etc. and I ended up converting it so it connects directly to the low pressure line on my trailer. Cost about $30 for the 15 foot hose and fittings. Most portable BBQ's operate on about the same pressure of about 0.46 psi after the regulator, my trailers low pressure external lpg connection is about 0.46 psi.

Capn Courage-how did you go about converting your high pressure BBQ to low pressure use?Did you drill out orifices in the controls or change to a different control?? I have been considering doing this, but haven't got around to it yet-will have more time to tinker when I am retired in about one more month.

Most if not all BBQ's operate on low pressure, they normally have a regulator on the end of the hose to drop the tank pressure down to their operating pressure. To convert my Broil King Porta Chef all that was required was removing the hose with the regulator on the end and getting the proper fittings and a 15 foot hose with the quick connect for the trailers low pressure lpg line. The original hose end regulator on my Porta Chef was a 1/2 pound regulator, if you look at your regulator it will tell you what psi it is rated at.

Well, most of the portable (table-top) grills and stoves are high-pressure units. They have a fitting (The Weber Q does as well) to attach a 1# propane bottle. This bottle puts-out high pressure. These portable grills many times have a built-in regulator that is actually part of the On/off/temp control and can not be removed to operate the grill on low pressure.
I have heard that some Q owners were able to by-pass the internal regulator and then operate the grill on low pressure from the RV gas system.
