I asume you are refering to propane gas, fill the tank ands close the valve and when at home, fill a spray bottle with water and some dish washer detergent couple of skirts of detergent is enough.
DO NOT TURN ANY APIANCES ON AT ALL, YOU DO NOT WANT ANY FLAME OR HOT SURFACE!
Open the valve at the tank and start spraying "ALL" the conections on the line from the tank to the water heater, the stove, tha cabin heater and the refrigerator and any other propane using apliances.
You might have to pull drawers and open cabinets to get to all the "T" fittings and all the couplings, even the ones under the RV, when there is a leak you will see the bubles, to tighten the fitings you need to use two wrenches to counter each other, if you only use one wrench all you are going to do is twist the copper lines, if there is a rubber line and a copper line nothing will happen to the rubber line but the copper line will be damaged.
Check inside and out side, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN when you tighten the fittings to much they tend to crack, do not turn any apliance or any electric device while you look for propane leaks.
Some fitting that are made in China are worthless they come all ready cracked from the factory and or not round, if so you will need to replace those fittings, if it happens to be a cracked copper line, you might need to cut the line and slice a sgment, I do not recomend using a torch, as in FLAME, inside the RV, if you do not know to do the work, how have a profesional do the work.

I don't know why you "assumed" that, they were talking about propane, the OP stated that they went to a gas station and filled up. That would imply to me that they're talking about gasoline.
