Normally I use the grill at night or late afternoon and leave the propane tank on for the night and early morning hot water, sometimes heat.

Seems we need to have a hose that has two valves on it, but that's a little complicated.
Looks like you threw in a second part to the question. The line going from the LPG tank to the grill quick disconnect.

After burning off the grill I roll up my hose and store it in the same storage compartment as the grill. This storage compartment happens to be directly under the CO LP detector in the coach and I have never smelled LPG inside. If desired you can connect the two fittings together so the hose is a closed loop.

I had not, until now, thought about the line running from the tank to the grill quick connect. You are correct in that would require a second valve to ensure that line was free of LPG. A thought on this is a separate male quick connect fitting that could be connected, after closing the tank valve, to bleed off any excess LPG in that line.
