First thing broke and only one trip in...

[Blutoyz]

I went out today to cycle the genny and my LP/CO detector was beeping. I didn't smell gas but checked around...what I did smell was burnt circuit board.

I seems that it was a "fault" code beeping so on opening up the unit sure enough, it had a burnt component. I am hoping this $80 item was my "initiation"

😉

While you are at it replace ALL your detectors. Propane, CO & smoke.

Stuff like a smoke detector, CO detector and I suspect the propane detector have expiration dates. I'd consider the failure normal maintenance. Check all other detectors while you're at it.

Anything built by man will have problems. If anyone ever finds a perfect rv, consider it a real miracle.

Now that's funny, and oh so true. And yes I own one. Now for the kicker.....I owned one 7 years ago and when I dumped it said never another LOL. :S

[DutchmenSport]

I've never owned a FR, I guess I have no opinion to offer.

[Blutoyz]

This was just a "consumable" in my mind...I don't want to get a brand feud going...LOL

20 year old low mile winnie adventurer 34WA from an RV shop. The PO replaced quite a bit so I am just crossing my fingers that he found most before he upgraded:W

Probably time for new LP/CO Detector anyway.....they have a 5-7 year life span (sensors die)
Expiration date S/B stamped on backside

I looked at the date...it was right at the 5 year mark anyway

Two forest river products in the past. 9 years and 5 years and I only replaced the lp/co thing because it was old. I don't think a nail in a tire is forest rivers fault and after plugging it, it never went flat.

Further more, My FR Wildcat was more reliable than my new Arctic Fox and parts of it were built better too.

You must be blessed...:p

Detectors, I never mentioned them, you did.

Uh no, the OP's post was about a detector failing.
Is this the way you want this to go from now on?

First we do is disable the LP/CO/low voltage detector as half the time they don't work right anyways. Vents and at least one window is always open any ways.
