I have 2009 Sun Valley.  I was wondering if anybody Y's off of their outside quick connect fitting.  I want to goto my stove and grill.  My grill takes the standard throw away propane bottles.

Nope but I do use a second stove and bbq attached to a second (sometimes third) propane tank I carry.  Right now the stove and bbq have to be connected one at a time to the tank (due to the tank connections on the hoses), but when I come across an inexpensive "Y" or "T" that will allow both to connect to the tank at the same time I'll go that route  (both stove and bbq have the POL fittings that screw into the tank.) 

If you are just about to start out and do this, then I'd go with a "T" fitting (from coleman) that srews into the large tank, then you connect the adaptor hoses to that..  and then to your stove, bbq, lantern  etc..    You can also go with a distribution tree and use the same hoses. 

Mine are set up the way they are due to use tent camping for years and always using the old naptha (white gas) coleman stoves (up to 3- double burners and a single)...  but with the pup we decided to "convert" everything to propane, since I carry a second tank anyways..

This is what it looks like:

Here is a listing from Amazon that also includes a 12 ft propane host to your grill:

I just ordered fitting today to put in a Y. It will make life much easier this season.

Just note that if you are "Y"ing or "T"ing inline from your propane tanks your pressure has already been stepped down by your regulator, most stoves/grills that take throw-away bottles also have a regulator. This set up, I believe, will not work because you now have 2 regulators in line with one another.

Go Big,  you are correct I investigated doing this a couple years ago and found the same answer.

I also checked into this and my line for the outside stove comes off the tank before the regulator so you might want to follow your line back to the tank and see where it branches off

The Marshall add a tee lets you add a disposable thread connector.
