Propane Smell
This goes back several months, Jan 2016. We store our fiver in our sons pole barn year round except when it is in use. But my grandson called us early on day stating that there was a very strong smell...

That is a far fetched theory. Sorry but way too many years dealing with pressurized systems to buy into that line of thought.
Sorry to hear real life doesn't meet your expectations, but neither it does mine.
Still nothing we can do about it. As you can read here, propane lines are consider good if they hold the pressure For 3 minutes
And that is for household use, where we have higher expectations, than in RV.
You do realize that '3 minute LEAK TIGHT' test is done at 0.33 psi (9" WC)
If any drop in that 0.33 psi occurs in the 3 minutes system fails.
Now do you realize just how little 0.33 psi IS ?
You whistle stronger than that.
SO YES 3 minutes is more than sufficient time to test leakage at that little bitty tiny psi.
I take it you have never done leak testing before.
