Question propane grill/stove hookups

I have a RV grill with the 1 lb bottle connection with regulator, and a portable 3 burner propane stove with a standard hose/regulator hook up. My wife does not cook inside the trailer. I have a 20lb propane tank and I want to run both the stove and grill off that bottle. Issue is the grill has a regulator attached at the grill with flame control knob. The stove has a regulator attached to the line going to the tank. I have a "Y" connector( 1 regulator and two hoses) If I hook the grill hose into that "Y" ( now I have two regulators in line) the grill regulator drops the gas pressure down to low for the grill to stay lit. I can not remove the grill regulator because that is also the flame control that goes into the burner. My problem is how can I use both with only 1 regulator for both units??

Tanks have safety valves now that detect high flow to stop leaks turning into explosions. If you hooked one tank to two grills it may shut down because of too much flow. When this happens the flow is reduced and you get just a tiny flame.
