HUMMMM,
Tough question.IMHO depends on how much grief you want to go through or how lazy you are. So here goes!Big Grin
1) Easiest safe way is to ALWAYS turn both sink and fuel door switches off. Then turn both on when you want to use it, redundancy on the electrical circuit propane shutoff valve.
2) If you are storing long term or indoors and want to be absolutely safe, then go into the 2nd road side compartment, remove the sheet metal screws on the 6x6 door to access the manual valve on the tank and close it. The electrical shutoff is right after that valve, then the coach plumbing follows.

Me , I store outdoors, when I do so I use option 1 all the time. Even on the road unless I'm using propane for the refer and stove.
