Possible leak from propane gauge
My TT is just over one year old. I was hooking up full propane tanks to the trailer in anticipation of winter and it seems like propane may be leaking from around the metal clamp around one of the rub...

After buying several hoses that would not hold up, I got fed up with the cheap junk being produced with weak crimps and had a local industrial hose supplier make up a couple hoses for me. They used propane rated hose that had a thicker wall than the cheap junk I was buying with better quality crimped on sleeves.
A lot of the problem is the hose getting rotated on the barbs when the crimps are not tight enough. That was the problem I had when switching between 20 and 30 lb cylinders in cold weather. The hose would become stiffer in the cold and wound up turning slightly in stead of flexing when going from a taller to shorter cylinder or shorter to taller cylinder. As the barb gouged the inside of the hose when it rotated the hose would begin to leak.
