There is a quick connect for propane on the opposite side of the coach
from the propane fill. My understanding, if I understand correctly, is
that BBQs are high pressure appliances and need a high pressure supply
of propane. Does anyone know if the quick connect connection is high
pressure? Do I have to have a custom hose made to go from the propane
quick connect to the connection at my BBQ (same one that uses the small
throw away tanks)? Are there stock hoses available for this?

For our old coach, I went to the local propane supplier (distributor)
and they made up multiple connections and hoses for me. I had a need to
run 3 appliances at one time. The existing propane regulator on you Bird
should be all the is needed for BBQ pressure, and the hose and connector.

Brian,
My 85 PT40 had a regulator mouted directly after the main shut-off
valve for the propane tank. Then the propane line went to another
regulator, and then to a on/off valve, then to a quick connect.
I made up some propane lines and tried to run my Coleman gas cook
stove, gas grill, or Coleman propane lantern.
The factory setup wouldn't provide enough gas for any one of the
above appliances, not enough gas.
So, I removed the second regulator, the regulator just before the
vavle that controls the propane to the quick coupler.
I also re-arranged the line that feeds the quick coupler so as it
has "tank" pressure. Now any or all of the above appliances can be
powered by the quick coupler.
Have pictures if you want...
