Propane Leak inspection
We are currently heading north to the border from our home and base in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. As with the last two years I spent lots of time insuring the Monty was ready for our trip. I checked all the under parts (springs, axles, brakes, tires, greased bearings and wet bolts). Inspected the roof and everything noted on the owners manual and recommendations from this MOC page. Never has anyone suggested leak testing all Propane fittings and connections. I can't take all the credit for adding this to my check list because it was my wife who told me that at times she could smell propane and I could not. At her persistance I soap check the gas fitting and found that both treaded ends of the cross over pipe which runs across the front storage locker or generator locker were leaking. Further soap test of all the under belly gas lines also revealed gas leaks. A little teflon tape and all is now sealed. Do you know how lucky I now feel that I soap tested these fitting and was able to correct these hazards before the big boom and fire.
