propane leak?
Jellyfish,
I have a 89 Winnebago that I have been smelling fumes for about a year. Finally found where it was coming from. The LP Leak Detector actuator for the shut off was leaking a little bit. I tried to fix it by cleaning the threads and replacing the "o" ring but it stilled leaked. I had to replace the entire unit and it fixed the main smell problem. When my hot water tank runs....right after it shuts down, I do get a little smell, but I think that is just burned LP smell and not a leak. I have checked all connetions with soapy water solution and no leaks. Everything seems to be running just fine (stove, hot water, furnace, etc.). Make sure your leak detector inside the unit is working properly (I use propane lighter and hold it right by the detector and if it is woking, it will trigger alarm and shut the gas down at the turn off (the one I replaced)). Test it and if it not working, replace it. You can never be too cautious with LP. Too much riding on it.
TEST AND RE-TEST. Good luck
