Propane Leak: Hose Replacement
OK, don't judge me. Don't make fun of me. Well, go ahead I deserve it. :) Here's the deal. My propane tank leaks sometimes. It seems to be temperature and altitude related. At sea level there ...

Hard to tell without pictures. I suspect that your propane regulator failed - it does that.
I don't recall any unusually big nut there, - so big that your wrench couldn't do.
The rubber hose with one "knobby end" and brass fitting on the other end goes into propane regulator - not to some trailer pipes. There is often a brass adapter that goes into the regulator first, and then you screw the end of the rubber hose with brass fitting in there.
Now, you should know the difference between regular threads and threads with flare fitting. You should use a propane dope or Teflon tape on regular threads, but not on flare fittings.
