Having a propane gas leak in your RV is a scary situation that you don't want to even think about let alone experience. But this detector will give you peace of mind knowing that if there are dangerous levels of propane, it'll quickly and accurately warn you and your family so you can get out of the RV and into fresh air.
Hard-to-Miss Visual and Audible Cues
When propane gas is detected, the red LED will come on, and the horn will be constant. And because the sensor is highly selective, it's designed to only sound the alarm for lethal propane gas, reducing the number of false alarms that occur in non-threatening scenarios.
It'll also alert you when the battery is low or when the detector has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced, so you never have to be without protection.
Easy to Test and Silence
To double check that the detector is operating normally, you can easily use the button on the front to test the propane sensor and battery voltage. You should test your detector every time it's taken out of storage and before it's taken out for each camping trip. This button also lets you silence the horn up to 5 minutes during non-life-threatening situations. So, you can turn off that annoying racket in the middle of the night while you're trying to hunt for a new battery.
Surface-Mount, Bolt-On Installation
The 2 included universal mounting brackets allow this detector to replace 90 percent of all OEM surface-mount and flush-mount detectors. This detector can replace most Atwood and Dometic branded detectors, as well as Safe-T-Alert 20 series, 25 series, 30 series, 35 series, 40 series, 45 series, and 65 series detectors.
Because propane gas is heavier than air, it'll settle near the floor, so this detector should be installed 4" to 18" from the floor to accurately detect the presence of gas. Also make sure that the detector is located in an area that isn't near a window or door, behind furniture or drapes, or in a closet. It also shouldn't be installed with 24" near a stove, oven, fridge, or furnace.

so far, so good. Flush is better than that white box that stuck out.
by: Chris 10/04/2023
1 year later working like a champ. I made one small modification on one of the tanks by slightly sanding the bottom where the sensor touched the tank. That one sensor was reading zero every so often. The paint on that tank was a little thick. That fixed the issue 100%.

This Propane Detector replaced an old Atwood Protechtor Series 2001 and the larger bezel covered the hole from the old unit. It looks good.
by: Sumner06/20/2023
My neighbors had their co2 detector go out at the same time as ours on their camper. They bought a replacement from Amazon, I bought mine from etrailer. They had to buy a new co2 detector this month. Very happy with my selection
by: Richie 08/11/2023
Sales Rep Jacob was extremely professional and helpful; delivery of item was timely and installation was a breeze. Our new. Amped van is now protected to alert us to any propane potential hazards. Thank you etrailer!
by: Dave 08/31/2023
What dealings I've had with e-trailer have always been an excellent experience. Fair priced and always shipped asap. Thanks
by: Stan 04/06/2023
Propane Gas Detector works great once I installed it. The electrical wires were extremely short for the way my RV is wired, so made it rather difficult to complete the wiring part of the job. But once I got it the detector works great.
by: Ed07/27/2023
I needed to replace an existing CCI 7770 propane detector. The folks at etrailer were awesome and told me this would work well in the existing opening.
One of the easiest upgrades I have ever done
by: Rick 06/16/2023
E Trailer gave excellent service and it arrived quick and on time.
I haven’t installed it yet so I can’t answer anything about the detector.
by: Jim 06/24/2023
Good replacement for Atwood detector. Easy install on 2017 Airstream.
by: Pat 07/28/2022
Much slimmer profile than the RV's original unit. Very easy to install.
by: Stephen06/06/2022
This unit much better than original. Flat design and now my big foot does not bump it being low on the deck! Another happy camper! Thanks etrailer!

Ordering was easy, part came quickly and insulation was quick.
by: Marvin 08/29/2023
Had to mount it long side up to fit existing hole, but it works well.
by: Kelly 03/06/2023
Easy to install and 2 options for a mounting plate size. I looked all over for a solution to fit our current hole the last one left, this fit nicely and blends in.
by: Stuart 06/07/2023
Easy to install and working great. A good replacement for the Atwood 31013 that came in the RV.

I've had it installed on a 2015 model for a couple of months and so far so good.
by: Scott A.05/19/2021
Very easy to install. Instructions are clear and test went perfect. Had to install vertically due to the curved wall.

Have not installed yet but nicely covered the old hole cut my 2014 Airstream .

See what our Experts say about this RV Safe RV Gas Detectors
- Can The RV Safe 2-Wire RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector # RS44FR Be Mounted VerticallyThe 2-Wire RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector # RS44FR can be mounted vertically if needed but most importantly should be installed no more than 18" from the floor so that it can accurately detect the amount of gas in your RV. Do not mount this detector within 12" of any opening windows, exterior doors, fans, vents, or areas with a draft. To continue, do not mount on exterior walls, within 24" of any cooking appliances, behind furniture or any areas that would block flow to the...
view full answer... - Where Is The Battery For An RV Propane Gas Detector RV propane detectors will typically only have an internal battery and will not have one that you can replace. Two-wire systems like the RV Propane Gas Detector # RS44FR would wire directly to the trailer battery for power.
view full answer... - What is the Lifespan of the 2-Wire RV Propane Gas DetectorI reached out to the manufacturer on this and they mentioned that they are required by law to print a date on these units, but they informed me that the 5 year lifespan of the # RS44FR begins when it's connected to the power source. Additionally, this information was provided-"We give an "End-of-Life" signal after 5 years of operation, so the alarm will continue to function normally for at least 5 years after installation." I can see why this would be confusing, and so do they; so hopefully...
view full answer... - Replacement LP Gas Detector Recommendation For Older Protechtor 2001 Series LP Gas DetectorI wasn't able to find the Atwood 36720 RV Propane Gas Detector you mention, however I was still able to find the RV Propane Gas Detector # RS64FR in white, or # RS44FR in black to work as a replacement for your Protechtor Series 2001 LP Gas Detector. This replacement will work with virtually any alarm, so it is likely to work with yours as well, and features the same two wire design as your current Protechtor Series 2001.

- Replacement LP Gas Detector for a CCI 7770.2 / Pre Tell 22 Detector We do have some LP gas detectors available, but none would be a direct replacement for your CCI 7770.2 / Pre Tell 22. From what I could find on your CCI 7770.2 / Pre Tell 22, it has dimensions of 6.25" wide x 3.9" tall. The RV Propane Gas Detector # RS44FR (black) and # RS64FR (white) measure 4-1/4" long x 2-5/8" tall but have two different bracket sizes to fit what you need. Large bracket - 7-1/4" long x 3-3/8" tall Small bracket - 5-3/4" long x 4-1/4" tall
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For An Atwood 31013 RV LP Detector Since the Atwood 31013 LP Detector has been discontinued you can replace it with the RV Propane Gas Detector - 12 Volt - 2 Wire - Black # RS44FR. This detector is a surface mount design and can easily swap out your old unit in just a few minutes.
view full answer... - Replacement Propane Gas And Carbon Monoxide Detector SuggestionWhile we do not carry a direct replacement for your Atwood RV Propane Gas Detector Model 31013, we do carry the RV Propane Gas Detector # RS94FR. This has the same 3 wire design that your current Atwood model has, operates off of 12VDC, and has an 85 decibel alarm when sounded. This replacement is a tad bit larger, measuring in at 5-3/4" long and 4-1/4" wide for the smaller bracket, or you can use the larger bracket which measures 7-1/4" long and 3-3/8" wide. The actual alarm itself measures...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For An Atwood Propane Gas Detector # 31014Atwood is no longer in business so you'd have to switch over to a new brand in order to get what you need. We currently only carry the RV Propane Gas # RS44FR (white # RS64FR) which comes with two different trims (large: 7-1/4" long x 3-3/8" wide and small: 5-3/4" long x 4-1/4" wide) to help cover up the old cutout hole and mounting screw holes.
view full answer... - Recommended Propane Gas Detector To Replace An Atwood Model 31013We do have a propane gas detector you can use to replace your Atwood model 31013. The Atwood 31013 is no longer available, so it will not be a direct replacement. We have the: -RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector # RS34FR for white, or the: -RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector # RS54FR for black. We also have the # RS44FR if you want it for detecting propane gas only. All of these carbon monoxide detectors are flush mounted, measure 4-1/4" long, 2-5/8" wide, and 1/2"...
view full answer... - Replacement Options For An Atwood 33636E Propane Gas Detector Atwood propane detectors have been on and off available since the Atwood brand was bought out and slowly killed off by Dometic so you'd be hard pressed to find one at this point. We currently only offer the RV Safe brand which has either just propane gas detection or models with propane gas and carbon monoxide detection. Each of these come with trim plates that are a surface mount design to cover up any gaps left behind by the old unit. The small trim measures 5-3/4" long x 4-1/4" wide...
view full answer... - Replacement Propane Gas Detector Recommendation for Older Model 7770.2I recommend using the RV Propane Gas Detector - 12 Volt - 2 Wire - Black # RS44FR and using the larger 7-1/4" long x 3-3/8" wide bracket for the installation as that should be a little larger than your current model 7770.2 gas detector.
view full answer... - Availability of Black RV Propane DetectorFor a black RV propane detector we have the RV Propane Gas Detector # RS44FR but we do not have an Atwood option that is black.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement for Black Atwood RV Propane Gas Detector 31013The RV Propane Gas Detector part # RS64FR for white or part # RS44FR for black is what I recommend using to replace the the Atwood RV Propane Gas Detector part 31013 (Discontinued). The mounting plate for this new detector will cover up any holes you had for the previous so it will be a super clean install when finished. You'd just need to use some butt connector like part # DW05744-5 to attach the wires and you're good.
view full answer... - Replacement Gas Detector for an Atwood Series 2001 LP Gas DetectorI tried finding information on the blinking green light on your Atwood Series 2001 LP Gas Detector but was unable to find anything that mentioned a blinking green light. The Atwood Series 2001 LP Gas Detector you have is no longer available which is likely why it was difficult to find information. The Atwood Series 2001 LP Gas Detector does have a life cycle of 7 years +/- 128 days. This starts once the detector is first started up. If you believe you are close to or passed that 7 year...
view full answer... - Recommendations For Towing A Small Camper With 2020 Ford EdgeThere's a great hitch we sell for your 2020 Ford Edge called the etrailer class III 2" hitch # e36RR. This hitch has a tongue weight of 675 lbs and a max gross trailer weight of 4,500 lbs. Perfect for towing a small camper. I would refer back to the owners manual to find your specific vehicle's towing capacity and use the lowest rating between the vehicle and the hitch. Typically, the towing capacity for a 2020 ford edge is lower than the hitch towing capacity. I also recommend a...
