Possible? Sure.
For whatever reason all of the RVs I have had, "leak down" propane once you turn off the tanks after a few weeks.. So I always ensure I turn off the propane tanks once I am done camping..
One would think that one should be able to turn off the propane and the propane and pressure would stay inside the lines.. Nope, always have to bleed the air out of the lines each time I turn the tanks off for a week or so.. For the record, that includes installing brand new regulator and pigtails for good measure..
I suspect that the propane can migrate through the rubber hoses plus the rubber in the regulator over time slowly enough that you cannot smell the odorant.
As far as you regulator, Try some different supplier sources..
Quick Internet search for your model I found price of $35 HERE (disclaimer, never done business with them).
THIS place lists it for $48 (never done business with them).
THIS place lists it for $66, never done business with them.
Camping World lists it for $75.. Bought a few items from them although typically over priced..
THIS place lists it for $47 , never done business with them.
The trick I see, is whether any places have them in stock, found many more online sites which say out of stock.
Why post links to online drop shippers that all note "out of stock"? If one drop shipper is out of stock they all are. They just take the order and forward it along to one or a couple of regional distributors. No one you list has actual in hand stock of anything at anytime. Even large retailers such as Etrailer, who do maintain a warehouse don't stock everything they sell physically and use the drop ship model.
The OP should just order from Amazon, who claims to have them or access to them, and when they say that they do about 99.9% of the time for $100, and have it in hand this coming Wednesday.
