I think I have a propane leak.
First off, my motorhome is parked in the driveway, maybe 10 feet from my attached garage.
For the last 2 days with our recent very cold snap, I've smelled propane around the front of my Trend. Couldn't tell at first if it was my natural (house) gas or the propane. Not enough to knock your socks off, but certainly enough that I could catch the whiff of it. Checked the propane level inside at One Place, and at first it registered 1/2 then 1/4 then finally E, all in about 2 seconds on the panel. The tank was filled in November when it was winterized, so I'm guessing (??) the leak is propane and not the line for the gas into my house.
Questions! Does the additive for propane differ from the smell of natural gas? Do I need to also call my local utility?
What do I do? Today I called my RV repair and left a message. Just let it continue to slowly leak till it truly is E?
If I need to take it in sooner rather than later, is it safe to start the engine?
Or should I call a mobile RV or propane dealer to come here?
