Enclosed Gas Bottles

My FW has 2 20 gallon propane tanks in an enclosed area, there are 2 3" vents down low on the door. With the valves open I can smell gas whenever I open the door. Never having had enclosed tanks before, is this normal or should I have the area tested for leaks. This is not a new thing, it's been like this, probably since I got the trailer in 2014.

You have a leak.
Mix up some soapy water and paint/spray all the connections and look for the bubbles to grow. Then repair as required.
If you don't feel comfortable with that take to your local LP gas supplier and ask them to check it. But i would call first to make sure they can and are willing to do it.
Good Luck
