Propane Concern

[TrailLite30]

Hello , I am new to the camping world and have a quick question regarding my propane usage.First I live in Camper full time, I have two 20 lb propane tanks and it seems like I'm using more than I should be , possible leak??? I wrote the date on the tank last time I replaced and turned on, turns out I was able to get 24 days off of one propane tank does this sound about right? I turn my hot water heater off every night to conserve as it does not have an electric element option. I cook on the stove maybe three nights a week and barbecue for about 30 minutes maybe two nights a week and basically just turned hot water heater on when I get home from work to take a shower then I turn it off. Really concerned I might have a leak but not sure where to start also regulator valve is brand new to swap takes. Should I be getting more time out of a 20 #tank ?

Probably sounds about right. At first I thought you meant that you left the water heater on all day long but yes just turning it on to actually take a shower is what we do. We don't even fully heat the water to the point of letting it shut off on its own.

If if you had a leak there'd be a good chance that you would smell it somewhere around you rig. I had a t fitting underneath a TT with a loose fitting and it wasn't leaking real bad when I put soapy water on it to look for bubbles but just a little bit that it leaked I was able to smell it when I walk by.

If you can get to the tees and other fittings underneath, you can spray them with a soapy solution and look for bubbles. Also the hoses regulator.

I would start with soapy water sprayed on regulator lines. That's where I found my leak.
