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


RV Safe Propane Detector

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.

As advertised. Two backplates to hide prior detector cutout.



by:

Perfect replacement for my propane defector. Workin fine after 1 year.



by:

Easy to install. Great device. Super fast shipping!



by:

Thank you for my order. I revived it on time and it works great



by:

Great replacement for my 2019 Airstream unit that was discontinued. I like that it came with two different covers I could choose for my application.



by:

We were getting ready to leave for a multi week trip and another vendor failed to deliver. etrailer stepped up and got the part to us quickly.. Easy install. Very happy with the purchase



by:

Great product I was having problems finding the part I needed but of course etrailer had just what I needed. Fast shipping also.



by:

very nice replacement part,easy install and covered the old hole in the wall great very fast shipping,thanks



by:

Great product. Fair price. Excellent communication. Speedy shipping.



by:

Easy install. Nice that it came with 2 different mounting plates



by:

Fits well over the old no longer available detector. Shipping was quick which was important because of course the old one died a few days before going out on a trip and the installation was easy.



by:

Easy installation. Nice having 2 different face plates. Ordering from retailer is always easy.
Thank you



by:

I changed the expired propane detector in my Airstream for this one. Not a drop-in replacement but fits nicely rotated 1/4 turn and using the small bracket.



by:

Perfect replacement for my OEM propane gas leak detector and installed in 15 minutes.



by:

It came quickly and I installed it. The documentation is a little confusing. As soon as I applied power, the green lamp started flashing. That could mean low voltage according to the words on the front panel. My old LP gas detector would flash green until it booted up and then go to steady green, I think this one works the same way



by:

Very easy installation, aided my etrailer's typical professional install video, showing a quick and clean process. Monitor worked immediately, no gremlins. Thanks for a great transaction and product!!



by:

The old one expired and alarmed frequently so it was removed, then the heater stopped working. Replaced an Atwood 2 wire with this and the heater works again. No more alarms.



by:

Easy to install since it included 2 size covers. Wiring the device was easy. Green light is on and test worked good. Shipping was good and it arrived very quickly. eTrailer is the best.



by:

We have not installed the detector yet. Our 2018 Flying Cloud has the Atwood brand as originally installed and as yet we haven’t seen a yellow light. Our intention is to install it in the next week or so.



by:

Works great and cover fits over hole that was in Airstream for previous Propane Gas detector.



by:

Recommend for Atwood replacement. Easy to install and the choice of two plates covered the existing hole. 15 minute job. Thanks Etrailer.



by:

Direct replacement for expired original. Easy to install. Multiple mounting brackets.



by:

Exactly what I needed to replace the expired Atwood RV Propane detection unit in our Airstream Globetrotter which lasted about 6 years. Installation was simple, I had to drill four new holes for the RV Solutions unit and mounting bracket but it covered the hole from the original Atwood installation and the new unit is more securely attached. Be sure to read instructions regarding the light, it flashes for about three minutes as it “warms up”, then it’ll go solid.



by:

Order for my rv propane / carbon dioxide detector was filled quickly and delivered fast. Thank you.



by:

This product replaced one in an older horse Living Quarters trailer. I liked the design of the mounting plate as it covered everything from the old unit--screw holes, faded finish, etc., and I didn't have to modify the hole The wiring was easy and it worked first time. The only time it has gone off was when I was trouble shooting a thermostat. I was pleased that it did to confirm all was good. Thanks again e-Trailer, for having what I needed when I needed it!

  • Propane Detector Replacement For Older Atwood 33535E
    Hey Justin, The propane detector by Atwood is no longer available, even with Dometic. The best option for a replacement I recommend is # RS54FR, this is a propane and carbon monoxide detector. If you are just looking for propane I recommend # RS44FR as a replacement. This may not be the exact size as your original detector, so you may have to use something to fill in the gaps of the mounting hole if needed. It comes with 2 mounting brackets for different size openings. The smaller being...

  • Replacement LP Gas Detector Recommendation For Older Protechtor 2001 Series LP Gas Detector
    I 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 Propane Gas Detector For CCI Controls 7719
    Hey Mitch! You can use the RV Propane Gas Detector - 12 Volt - 2 Wire - Black # RS44FR to replace your existing detector. However, you will need to remove the old detector and valve, then reconnect the line with the appropriate fitting. There isn’t a reliable way to bypass the old setup long-term. That valve is normally closed and requires constant power from the detector to stay open, so simply removing the detector would shut off your propane flow. Where are you headed next with your...

    Hello Bill, thanks for reaching out. The RV Propane Gas Detector # RS44FR has a 5 year lifespan. We have carried this detector for a while now, and it looks like our picture is dated.

  • Recommended Replacement For An Atwood Propane Gas Detector 31013
    Hi Brenda, The Atwood 31013 unfortunately has been discontinued so you'd need to go with a completely new LP gas detector.

They can come with either just LP detection or with Carbon Monoxide detection as well; and can be purchased in either white or black.
