Having a propane or carbon monoxide 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 either, 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 carbon monoxide is detected, the red LED will flash, and the horn will blare 4 times. When propane gas only or both propane and CO are detected, the red LED will come on, and the horn will be constant. And because the sensors are highly selective, they're designed to only sound the alarm for lethal gases, 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 and CO Detector

To double check that the detector is operating normally, you can easily use the button on the front to test the propane sensor, carbon monoxide 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


RV Safe Detector Installed

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.

The RV Safe propane gas and carbon monoxide detector was a perfect replacement for another model that came with our RV. The trim back plate covered holes that were there nicely. Easy to install, two wires connected to existing 12V wiring with wire nuts, 4 screws and done. It tested out perfectly. So far there have been no false alarms (big plus). Packaging and delivery was perfect.

That is great to hear! I am glad you got it quickly and the installation was a breeze. How often are you able to get that Airstream out?

Looking for a replacement for original CO & propane detector. Works great. Easy replacement with two different size trim plates included to choose from.

That is great to hear! I am glad you got it in time and it was a direct replacement. What kind of trailer did you install it in?

Thanks for reaching out George. Sorry I didn’t leave a review one year ago. Can’t believe time flew by so fast. This product is operating just the way I expected, looking forward to not replace this product for years to come.
So my factory sensor started to act up, and I read the reviews and let me tell you the reviewers know what they’re talking about! So here’s a pic of my original one, and of course my new replacement

Hey Ron! Happy to hear that the sensor is a good replacement to your factory one! What kind of camper do you have?



by:

I recently learned that there's an expiration date printed on these devices, so I checked mine. Two years out of date! I ordered this and it's the perfect replacement. Installation instructions were clear, making it easy to swap out the old one. As always, eTrailer delivered as promised.

Easy replacement for Atwood 31013 RV Propane detector in 2018 27’ Airstream International. Fits in existing hole, just had to drill two small holes for new mount. This new detector does carbon monoxide in addition to propane which I appreciate.



by:

I bought a replacement CO/propane detector; last year on line. It failed after 1 year. The unit I bought was supposed to be the "lastest" model. It was a knock off. There are certain RV items that you should NOT buy from large generic market sites. CO/propane detectors is one one them! This was a drop in replacement. It is "LOUD" but so are my home smoke alarms. Peace of mind is key!



by:

Easy installation. The larger of the two mounting plates is the same size as my old unit. Even the mounting screws align with the old screw holes. It's flush mounted so nothing but the two wires extend through the panel. And it's made in the USA! Well done.

  • 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.

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...

  • Recommended Replacement For Atwood LPCO Detectors
    Hey Charlie, That's the detector's way of telling you that it's at the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced. LP gas detectors typically have a 5-7 year lifespan. Since the LPCO 30094 detects both lp gas and carbon monoxide you'll want either the # RS34FR (White) or # RS54FR (black). These are a surface mount design and come with two different trim ring sizes to cover up the old hole from the 30094.
