I used to leave both open. Had a leak and ran out two full tanks, and the power went off in the middle of the summer and we had stuff in the refer.
It took several months to get the smell out of the refer. Charcoal, vinegar, baking soda.
The clear plastic indicator is what leaked. Trailer was under warranty, had the valve assembly replaced, and the second one did the exact same thing. The third one has lasted several years now.
I smoked at the time, lucky I hadn't been lighting a cigarette near the front of the camper, plus cost me three tanks of propane, food and a nasty refer.
I store my camper at my home, and I keep a closer eye on those things now. You know that HIND SIGHT thing.
To each their own, I keep one closed for safety and to ensure I always have a full tank.
