Propane Smell
This goes back several months, Jan 2016. We store our fiver in our sons pole barn year round except when it is in use. But my grandson called us early on day stating that there was a very strong smell...

No, not theory, but factory standards.
Even on new trailer I did not smell propane, each time I was restarting it after 5 days, not only propane lines had no pressure, but were filled up with air.
Bleeding long lines with restarting refrigerator 20 times was pretty annoying.
Still the system passed reinspection.
My present camper has steel pipes outside and copper tubings inside, still when I turn the tanks off, the pressure indicator will go to red in matter of minutes.
Rubber hoses at the tank are my biggest suspect.
Mine did that for years. Occasionally smelled propane but could not find a leak.
After ten years I thought it was time to replace the regulator and pigtails. No more issues. Holds pressure for months.
I recommend Cavagna brand regulators and pigtails if you have a choice.
