LP pipe leaks ?

hi I am new to the Airstream Trailer, just got it home yesterday, 1980 Excella II 28 feet. The seller advise to have the gas pipe check before use any gas operate units (stove, hot water, etc.). I call plumbmer yesterday ask them if they will do the test and fixed it if nescesary they told me they dont do that type of work. I am not experience enough to towe the AS to get it fix. Is it away i can do the gas leak test by myself?.
thanks
boon.

Spray all the fiiting with soapy water or windex, if it leaks you'll see bubbles

There shouldn't be any hidden connections so do all you can see.

Just like you have a smoke detector in the house, lso install a gas detector inside your trailer but low down.

thanks bob., I will give it a shot. I have the AS for couple days now. I am very happy with, but it just so many you have to learn. I am in process of put up the 30 amps outlet on the house to connect the AS to the power source. I next thing is to out all electric, then may be the plumbing next.
thanks
boon.
