    wiring scheme for propane detector replacement

    Need advise on wiring scheme for propane detector if anyone can help. We have a 2016 GD Reflection 29RS. When we removed the old Safe-T-Alert model with the red and black power wires, we did not pay attention to which wires from the rig should be reconnected for new one. The wire colors from the rig (2 sets I assume on for battery and electric) are white and the other white and yellow. I was assuming the positive wire is the yellow/white while the white is negative? Any help appreciated!

    Yeah, RV wiring doesn't really follow electrical or electronic conventions. If you have a multimeter, that would be the easiest way to validate the wiring for positive and negative.

    Yes, anyone that owns an RV NEEDS a voltmeter. A cheap $5 one from Harbor frieght will do nicely
