I often had a very faint smell in my camper. It wasn't there all the time and for the longest time I just couldn't seem to track it down. Seemed to becoming from the sink

I ordered and installed a new one, no more smell and now the burners light right away.

Propane from the RV stove if next to the sink will always find the sink the lowest point. So it doesn't make it to the detector mounted low on the floor usually in the back of a coach.
I just hope people reading our stories will make note and check the stove first for propane leaks and keep that on their check first list.:C
