Our second trip out, only the eight day on the Bighorn, Renee said it smells like sewer in the bedroom. She had already run the fan so when I got up there and I smelled nothing. She kept sniffing around and said "I smell something", I couldn't. The next day remembering these forums I took of the W/D panel in the closet and taped a plastic baggy over the washer vent cap because I knew that grey tank smell could come up there. The next day Renee said I still smell that stink by the bed. (NO! It was not me!) I took a sniff. "PROPANE" I said!! Went outside and opened up the off door side and had Renee take a sniff. She said "THATS IT!" Knowing that the bed is directly below that tank, I took a spray bottle of soap solution and sprayed down the fittings. VIOLA! Bubbles coming out of the input side of the regulator! Got a wrench and tightened the fitting almost a 1/3 of a turn! Stopped the leak and the smell for the remainder of the trip! This is not a silly little problem but maybe a LIFE THREATING problem. No detectors went off! How can something like this get by the factory inspection!?
PS. I wont buy the "dealer should check" Or " Things get loose going down the road" This should NEVER happen!
