Thank You I assume then I can get a T that will allow me to run another hose off my tank or do I need to keep unhooking hoses as needed?

Try this:

http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm/Outdoor-and-RV-Accessories/RV-Maintenance/Propane/Stay-Flow-Plus-Kit/skunum=24020 We have both, but find the first one to be more convenient for us. It can be had at WalMart for less than Camping World. I don't remember where we bought the second one, but rarely use it anymore. We have 2 30 lb. bottles on the camper but take our gas grill bottle as the "extra" that we use the tree on.
I use a separate 30# tank for our Mr Buddy. It sits outside the camper, next to to hole for our power cable. I run a 10' extension hose into the camper through that hole and into the inside through a cabinet door.
It's east to set up and I store the extension hose right along with the power cord. Never a problem.
If you go to this picture, you can see the propane tank on the ground, next to our PU:

This is the hose that I got:

I went with the adapter "tree" and the little buddy heater. The set up worked out well I didn't need the heat, thanks everyone.
A lot depend on that outside connection. If it simply T's off the inside propane lines it is low pressure. If it run directly from a secondary regulator (Fleetwood is the only Builder that did this and only for a couple of years) it is a high pressure line.
The smaller Buddy heater from Mr. Heater has an internal high pressure regulator and if the line is low pressure it will not work.
The larger Big Buddy heater has a low pressure internal regulator and can be used with either a high or low pressure line.
Either heater can be used with tank pressure as the one pound cylinders and the larger 20 & 30 pound cylinders have the same internal pressure and the internal regulator in the heaters work off of any pressure at or higher than the heater's requirements.

I went with the tank off my grill and atached the Tree to it, both the stove and the light seemed to work but didn't test the heater, which is the smaller one. Am I goping to run into trouble with the set up, there is another connector for the outside grill that atahches to the door on my Yuma that I though I could just run a hose to if I needed to as well.
