Great video David! Our Lance came with a Safe-T-Alert propane/CO detector. That detector started randomly going off typically about 2 or 3 am about one year into ownership. I went crazy for days trying to figure out what was tripping this alarm. Finally I decided enough with loss of sleep. I got a new exact model alarm and replaced it and problem fixed.

The hound was the highlight (newsflash replacing a LPG detector isn't full of drama and excitement)... sorry I'm a smartass .. that loves dogs anywho I thought you were going to have a "shootout of the top LPG detectors " replacing it was pretty straightforward but you did do a good job with a fairly mundane tast.. enjoy boondocking, hope to see you out there so I can pet the hounds

Strongly recommend anyone doing this is to get a meter and verify the + and - voltages on the wires from the manufacturer. In our Bounder, the polarity is reversed in many places -- the + is on the black or white wire and the - is on the colored wire.

Excellent video, thank you! This is actually on my to-do list. I've been looking at different types of detectors at the hardware store and I'm not sure if I want to go with a battery operated type or stick to an RV specific detector.

If your traveling in rough environment they may need replacing early. You may also want to have a timed propane leak test. You want to be sure your oven /stove isn't a leak for propane.

Excellent reminder to everyone - keep in mind that the lifespan starts the first time that power is applied, so your detector could be up to 12 months old in your "brand new" rig - be it trailer, class A, etc. The recommended max lifespan on most of them is 10 years, even for the newer self contained battery units, so if in doubt, replace it!

I believe dometic bought Atwood, so may want to check with them if you want the same detector. It will probably have a different part number
I believe by code you cannot have a switch or any device to turn off the propane detector.

I would think that the manufacturer assumes the RV is getting used seasonally, so for fulltime RVers that 5-7 years is probable cut in half, which makes sense with when you started to have issues with it.

No, the 5-7 years is merely the life of the detector which doesn't matter with the use of the trailer.

Sorry for being sacrastic. Many different tools that do simliar jobs. Some wire strippers have a section that can also cut the wire. Some strippers have spring loaded jaws that have a variety of openings for specific wire gauges which can be very precise and strip the insulation off very quickly without cutting into the wire strands underneath. A variety out there, some cheap, and of course some very expensive. Choice accordingly to your needs vs your budget. An inexpensive multimeter to read voltage is always a must, digital inexpensive unless you use it in a job situation. Let your paycheck decide. He should have used one. Its like always doing a CA roll through stop signs, one day you're look as you roll through, but not see, and boom, get hit. Always check for power. If you're not comfortable with a job like the one he did, there are lots of folks that can provide hands on, walk you through it for nothing. Again, my apoligises for being a jerk.

@@neonrainbow9033 Take from an old US Navy Aviation Electrician's Mate, wiring can rub against other wires, things happen in Aircraft ( & RVs) due to vibration. If you've ever been really shocked, and lived, it HURTS. So, isolate the circuit, but check it for power.
