Those valves go bad all the time, that's usually where the smell is coming from around the valve you open and close.
You can get away for awhile by tightening that valve as hard as you can when closing it. But eventually you will have to replace it.
When looking at used RV's if it takes you 2 hands to turn the propane valve on.....it's a good sign that you know the valve's bad. :W
