Propane leakdown

[hyperactive]

When I am not using my camper I shut everything off and close the propane tank valves. I noticed that when I go to turn the propane valves on the next time we plan on camping the lines are not pressurized anymore. Is this normal or should I look for a leak. I have a 2018 eagle HT.

In all the campers I have had if you turn off the propane for more than a short time you have to bleed the lines. I guess there is a microscopic leak somewhere but never heard of anyone not having to bleed the lines.

In my vacation place I have all metal lines to the stove and it has to be bleed down as well as my folks cabin when I was a kid.

When I first got my 16 Eagle it took me about a month to notice, the handle for outside grill hook up was left in on position.If camper sets a month always have to prime lines by lighting stove first.If we do not do that the frig will not lite for propane usage!

Good point, I have the outside grill gas line but never used it. I will check it . Thanks

Never fails. Takes mine a week to need bleeding for the fridge to start.

Every time we pull ours out of storage I turn on the tanks, let them sit for about 30 mins. before igniting anything, and then light the stove burners for about 5 mins. and then ignite the fridge. Otherwise the fridge won't light. This process pressurizes the lines and gets the air out, so I was told. Have to do it every time. Learned this on an RV forum (not sure which one). Part of trip prep.
