On my first dry run with 2016 179.
3 issues.very hot days. Smelling propane around rpod even at rest with or without tank on

Running n camp electrocity and AC WONT STAY ON . Breakers not blowing in trailer but if turn off at source- camp ground- and turn back on it run for a while. @ 90 degrees this would be nice. Took fridge off propane as ot was faulting and put it on battery

Set up r dome and it is up as decribed in videos. Black ball of roof extenders facing in.to room Fold up window covers outside. Butcant zip main front as roof extenders cross zipper. Cant see any way it is inside pit nor any way to access slots on arch

If you have the gas off at the tank you must be smelling someone else's propane.  Mix up some soapy water and pour it slowly over your tank and see if anything bubbles.

By AC do you mean alternating current or air conditioning? It sounds like you are flipping a breaker at the campground post maybe. 

Running the fridge on the battery is the last choice you want to make.  Go to shore power is you have it.  The fridge will run the battery down quickly.

There are holes in the seam for the extension rods to clip on to the arch.  The rods have to go through those holes.
