Walked by my trailer today and smelled propane. Checked and found both pig tail hoses from my propane tanks on the hitch were leaking. Both were leaking at the connections where the hoses thread into the regulator. At a swivel joint near the threaded connector but not the threads. One was leaking at both ends, there and also the swivel end near the tank end connector.
These were both replaced two years ago for the same problem.
My question: Does anyone make a brand that does not do this in a year or two?
These are the hoses with the large green hand tight ends at the tank.
Buy the way--found the problem by squirting soapy water on the connections.
I recently replaced my original regulator (less than 2 years old, another story), and found both hose connectors leaked when the original hoses were flexed. Between the hose fittings.
I ordered these. No leaks. For now ;)

I keep a spray bottle of soapy water on the shelf, too.
