    Carbon Monoxide/Propane Alarm

    DW called this morning to say the alarm went off. She silenced it but the lights, green & red, did not clear. Wierd thing because we don't use the propane. Its turned off at both bottles. Being out of the state for work I had her take it off the wall to check the connections. Everything looked ok (by video chat). The date on the detector is Sep 19. Any ideas? I'm thinking replace.

    I would replace the battery. I had a similar issue and this worked for me.

    This unit is only hard wired. No battery.

    Was she using any cleaning products? There are other sources of gaseous hydrocarbons in an RV besides propane.

    Not that I know of but I'm out of town. She is pretty particular about cleaning products, only natural based products but you're right. I'm going to have her try and vacuum it to make sure its not got some dust or pet hair built up in it.

    As dumb as it sounds, I could have sworn that I read somewhere on here that even dog farts may set these off. lol
