When i have the propane cylinder filled, there is a leak in a short hose, that leaks only when the cylinder is filled, and quits when the filling stops. Is there a way to find this leak without having the system filled? I crawled under the coach during the leaking, but before i could mark the hose for replacement., the operator shut off the gas. (the cylinder sets inside the frame, north to south. I am capable of the Mechanical aspect, of replacement, and we are full timers, so rather difficult to move unit for a small repair such as this. The leak is Only apparent when filling. Thank you. Mark, I own a 02 Monaco Knight.

Also, thanks for the video of the Tandem Tow-braking system. I too appreciate simplicity and straight-forward approaches to these issues. Hopefully we will be part-timing within the next two years or so, and both of these articles are now stored in a file for future reference...now we will keep a lookout for a vehicle we can tow "four- down" that we all like. -Drew Thanks Mark, I’ve never seen this subject covered in the past- enlightening!
