So I could smell gas when ever the propane was turned on. Investigation found that the propane lines, under the kitchen Cabinet were all leaking.
BTW, the is a 75 transmode upfitted by coachman, then redone in 2000 by Executive coaches...
The lines are soft copper with flare connections. every connection had teflon tape on the threads....Grrrr
There were also cheap shutoff valves for every appliance, and a couple of extra extensions for a total of 18 leaky connections for 3 appliances.
I removed the valves and ran new copper to the appliances.
I bubble tested everything and after a few tries, no bubbles.
But with the gas on, but nothing running I still smell gas!
I've checked every connection, except the furnace valve itself ( which is really hard to get to without disconnecting the gas line)
How does one make a good leak free system??
