Last camping trip we were running the furnace and we smelled a propane smell that got fairly strong, so we shut down the furnace immediatly and shut off the propane back at the tank. I carry a little ceramic heater as a back up and it kept us plently warm over the night...a bit cold in the morning but kicked it up to high and it got it warm. My question is where do I start with this. I've taken a look and don't see anything pertaining to propane tank valve and regulator upgrades on the GMC suppliers, unless I'm blind. Is this something I can just take a trip up to the hardware store and buy to replace, or do I need to have an RV place do the work for me? I'll get some gas leak detector from the store and check all the connections up to the furnace from the tank to make sure I don't have any leaks along the way, but I suspect the original valve is leaking.
