Valve came pretty quick, next day actually, was quite happy about that.
The previous owners of the camper added flooring in the camper, to get the furnace out I had to cut the cabinet above it about .5". Got the furnace out, old valve removed, went to install the new valve and discovered there is a flange that is about 1/8" larger than on the old valve and the bracket that holds the orifice would not thread all the way into the new valve, it was hitting that flange, ran out of time to work on it any farther.
Saturday evening started filing the orifice bracket until it would thread into the new valve, got it all back together and tested, furnace works great.
Checked Sunday morning, no gas smell, checked again Sunday evening no gas smell, turned off both LP tanks, as of now, Tuesday afternoon the system still has pressure, before it wouldn't hold pressure in 2 hours. I think I have this one fixed.
Thanks everyone for your help!
