Gas Leak from Tank and Shower Fan

Post by tdrtw »

Hello Team,

Question 1)

I noticed gas leaking out of this valve in the tank. It comes out right in the middle. See image below.

Any help/ideas greatly appreciated

Question 2)

I need to replace the small fan in the shower. Does anyone know the size? A good one to buy? (not looking for the cheapest, but a good fan at a fair price)

1) The packing is bad. The best thing to do is get someone who can work on propane to fix it for you. That said mine occasionally (though not in quite a while now that I think about it) will leak a bit while I'm opening or closing it (always open the valve the entire way).

2) It's a standard bathroom fan... I can't think of the manufacturer though, and I don't have my van to look for more info. Camping World or similar places should be able to get one though.
