LP Alarm Keeps going off?

   I have an Rpod 173 2010, second time out and I am camping now at the Swannee River for 9 days . 
LP tanks just filled and re hooked back up, I have  two propane tanks with a marine valve on outside to turn off and use one tank at a time . 

 LP tank is off but LP detector alarm just went off. The alarm went off right after I hooked up my fresh water hose and turned on sink to blow air out of lines. I turned on my hot water at sink to flush out line and that is when it went off. I dont think that had anything to do with it going off and I am at a loss since I've never used my hot water tank before nor even the stove. Please advise if it could be a fuse or something else, I am at campsite and just don't want to be surprised in the middle of the night. 
Any comments of troubleshooting would be appreciated since I am working out all sorts of bugs thus week.
 Thank Lilly Pod

	Two things, it could be a low voltage indication, check your battery voltage or the detector is bad, they have a life span. I saw a recommendation you change them every 5 years. They do not have a battery. Not like a smoke detector. I don't know if you are on shore power or battery power. A number of folks have replaced them, when it is not a low voltage issue. Shouldn't be LP issue with all OFF.
