    Propane detector

    Has anyone had an issue with their propane detector requiring replacement within 18 months of purchase .?
    We have owned Our unit is less than 18months and the propane detector started beeping and flashing lights (two red flashes and two green flashes followed by a loud beep) indicating it’s life was done and needs replacement ?.
    The only way to stop the beeping is to cut the wires or disconnect the battery and the shore power..

    It's not so much age since purchase, it's age since it was installed/built.

    I replaced mine last year, so it lasted about 48 months. I know it is a bit irritating, but just order a new one and replace. Very easy to do, no need to take it to the dealer.

    The best thing we did was to throw the factory one out and install a battery replacement type one.

    There should be and actual build date on the devise. It may be a bit/a lot older than the trailer.

    Ours failed at about the 2&1/2 year point. The date on it was close to the production date on the RV.

    Just replaced ours at 31 months from build date. Note however we vape alot so that may have some impact on sensor longevity
