Anyone have an easy way to find a propane leak on 2001 wanderer wagon 287TB? Pretty sure it's coming from underneath the trailer but not positive. I have not even began to check for the leak, I just need some ideas on what to look for. Any help is appreciated.

Soap and water and check all the connection points

What JC said. Just put it in a spray bottle and spray the joints and look for bubbles.

If you someone that works for the Gas Co they have a "sniffer" that would find it in a jiffy. They probe each connection starting from the tank going forward.

That's funny, because I've seen a few plumbers do that over the years. They both told me that it just lights up, not explode, as long is you are out in the open. Just like lighting a fireplace or bbq.

check the rubber hose from tank to rig hard piping most likely the rubbers rotting
