    CO/Propane False Alarms

    Someone might find this helpful so I'm posting it here: We were having trouble with our CO alarm going off. It seemed to occasionally trigger when the water heater ignited. We contacted the manufacturer and they kindly sent us a replacement. Unfortunately, the problem continued after...

    Funky Fridge on Propane

    My 6' two-way fridge has worked perfectly until now. We often boondock and run on propane. Today I pulled the plug on shore power, and the fridge started on propane. But it stinks, and it won't stop running. I believe it's a Dometic. I pulled and replaced fuses. Cycled the on/off switch...

    Repair in Edmonton Propane smell

    First camping trip of the year at Elk Island Park and it was fabulous. A few wrinkles ironed out and a couple of new wrinkles. Our Toyota Highlander battery died on us but was able to get it replaced. The other wrinkle was the smell of propane and a very low flame on the stove. Would like to...

    Brand new owner--first time RVer and first post. The propane alarm continues to go off even when not in use. First appointment for service is Sept. 20. REALLY? Any ideas? Is that something that can be ordered and plugged in myself? Thanks!

    Propane leak mistake

    I discovered one of my propane tanks low and a slight smell of propane. I got out the soap solution and tested all areas with negative results. I figured it was the pigtail to that tank (wrong) and installed a new one (I carry several) only to still have a very slight smell of propane no...

    CO / propane low volt alarm sounding

    On my 2002 Wildcat the lights start to get real dim and then the CO / propane low voltage alarm sounds. I am continually plugged in and it has a brand new battery (which is still testing 12V). A service center recommended simply replacing the detector since they can go bad and misread the...

    It's hot today and my almost full propane tank stopped working

    Got my new dual fuel generator and fired it up for the 5-hr break-in period using propane and left it overnight in the backyard. The following day around 2pm, I ran the genny for a few minutes and turned it off to relocate it with the tank. I hooked it up and the genny won't work. Wth? I know...

    Propane?

    I am almost running out of questions. LOL But I appreciate all the seasoned experts on this site. 3 days from our first trip. Our A122S has dual propane tanks. I have heard these TTs are very propane efficient. If I am precooling the frig before we leave for 4-6 hours and then using gas at the...

    Propane Gone Where?

    We have never had the propane run to E until about four weeks ago and since then have run to E twice. We had two short camping trips, one a week and one four days, did not use furnace, just water heater in the morning, and the stove. I cannot smell propane, the propane alarm has not gone off. I...

    Grounding copper propane tube?

    Is it necessary to ground an interior copper propane line to the vehicle chassis, when there is a hose between the iron pipe from the tank, and the appliance/stove? I have a Forester 3251DSLE Class C. There is a single wire inside my coach, under the stove and it is connected on one end to the...

    Norcold 2118 fridge sounded like a propane torch

    Bought 2021 GT5 with the 2118 norcold 4 door and when it ran on propane it sounded like a propane torch even at 30 feet away. The sound disrupted enjoyment of the life. After a lot of reading, I put an aluminum duct tape over 2 of the 4 holes in the air intake of the burner. Voila, it was quiet...

    Checking Propane Pilot for Fridge

    What is the best way to verify the propane pilot is on for the Fridge? I have an A122S. I swung open that circle to check and I know the blue flame is awful tiny, even the younger sales guy had trouble seeing it when it was on. But this 60 year old with progressive glasses is really struggling...

    Hi All, Quick question, hoping someone can answer. Just fired up my water heater in prep for our first ever camping trip this weekend.

    Replace propane detector??

    Interesting question but no answers I can find (although I’m sure there’s an answer published somewhere). Due to a propane “spill” in the MH my propane detector activated. However, the activation was after the reason for the spill had been addressed. It was still alarming 10 minutes later so I...

    Propane water heater erratic

    My TT is a 2013 A-Frame, Rockwood model A-122-BH… Water heater is not sensing water is cooling and needs to come on to keep water hot. I can turn the furnace on, reset the hot water heater switch and the hot water does come on - which is weird. But goes off too soon as water is warming when...

    Generator propane regulator

    I purchased a dual fuel Champion inverter generator. I like to use propane instead of gas. I would like to utilize an auto changeover dual tank regulator so I never run out of propane during operation, which would destroy the magnetism of the coil and trash the unit. Champion never responded to...
