Propane Leak Inside Trailer

I just returned from a three week camping trip, which included a few rough roads. When we returned to the house and opened up the trailer I smelled propane. I opened the windows and shut off the tanks. The smell dissapated. The LP monitor never alarmed and there was sufficient electricity for the monitor to function.

One propane tank was shut off and I think the other was quite low tho the switchover valve was showing green. Did I read somewhere that a low propane tank can cause propane smells?

The question now is where should I check. The propane input to my WAVE heater is the easiest to check and my likeliest suspect tho no propane lines have been touched since the WAVE was installed three years ago.

Where are the locations I should check (with soapy water)?
Will I have to pull out my stove? If so, how?

I have a 2005 25' Safari.

Thanks,
