Topic: L P Gas Detector Posted: 19 Jul 2012 at 7:50pm |
My lp detector kept going off so I had to pull the fuse. Just replaced it with a top of the line one and it works great. You have to be careful with sprays, etc. as these can trigger the detector to go off. I think that the more expensive ones are better ( I paid $56). Blissful

Yesterday whe hooking up to head home I heard a beeping in the Pod. I had my truck idling and warming up while connecting the chains and cable hook up, and the CO detector went off. Closing the door on the Pod took care of it. Now I know that works!

I always blame the dogs. Just another good reason to bring Fido with you in the Pod!

We thought ours was messed up, it wouldn't stop going off so I got a replacement for it. I later read that just some dust inside can cause them to malfunction. I took the canned air and blew out the unit and reconnected it, and it was been fine ever since. Keep that in mind before anyone ever buys a replacement!

Holy smokes - that makes since then... not a fart, per se, but our black tank needed dumping - bad.... we didn't do it just yet, turned on AC and then I'm sure there was methane gas in the restroom that blew down with the AC currents - makes total sense actually.... i wonder?

Read a piece in our paper about newbie RVers, the do's and don'ts. The one line read, if you have farting pets in your RV it can set off your LP detector if the animal lets loose close to the detector. This probably applies to humans, too.

It also goes off when the battery is low.
