It is not unusual to have some smell outside when first turned ON. The valve stems don't seal perfectly; you need to turn it all the way on to seal the handle.
We have a gas smell every time we use the camper but using soap I couldn't locate the leak and it would go away. I have tried several times to locate it and I finally did.
One of the 2 tanks shut off valve leaks when it is not all the way on or all the way off, So when I am opening or closing the valve it leaks but in the on or off position it doesn't leak. Ours are horizontal tanks
