Chasing down gas leak?
We spent a week camping in our 23SS Roo earlier this month and I noticed a faint smell of gas a couple times while sitting under the awning. Gas fridge is on that side, but I could never find any smell I thought was coming from it. The Hot water heater is on the other side and I became convinced the smell was coming from there.
After we got home, I spent parts of two days spraying every fitting related to the fridge or water heater and all those under trailer with soapy water two or three times. Never found any bubbles.
Finally, I decided that the water heater gas valve had to be the culprit, so I ordered a replacement and installed it yesterday. Doing my checks today, I found that when the gas is turned on at the bottles, the faint gas smell comes back near the WH.
Fittings are tight, soapy water doesn't show any leaks, it is a very faint smell, but it's there. Turn the gas bottles off, smell is gone.
Any other ideas where I should be looking?
