Thank you for supporting the channel ♥ If we've done our jobs we've inspired someone to chase their dreams!
do you have a list of tools used??
Great video David! Our Lance came with a Safe-T-Alert propane/CO detector. That detector started randomly going off typically about 2 or 3 am about one year into ownership. I went crazy for days trying to figure out what was tripping this alarm. Finally I decided enough with loss of sleep.
I got a new exact model alarm and replaced it and problem fixed.
Great video, I like how both of you are always safety conscientious about things. I truly feel that what makes a happy rv life. take care and God Bless you both and fur babies.
We haven’t had this problem...yet. Thanks for sharing.
Totally feel your pain! Had the same issue with ours last summer. Glad you're safe once again!
The hound was the highlight (newsflash replacing a LPG detector isn't full of drama and excitement)... sorry I'm a smartass .. that loves dogs anywho I thought you were going to have a "shootout of the top LPG detectors " replacing it was pretty straightforward but you did do a good job with a fairly mundane tast.. enjoy boondocking, hope to see you out there so I can pet the hounds
Strongly recommend anyone doing this is to get a meter and verify the + and - voltages on the wires from the manufacturer. In our Bounder, the polarity is reversed in many places -- the + is on the black or white wire and the - is on the colored wire.
Good information and thank you for sharing. Stay safe
Excellent video, thank you! This is actually on my to-do list. I've been looking at different types of detectors at the hardware store and I'm not sure if I want to go with a battery operated type or stick to an RV specific detector.
If your traveling in rough environment they may need replacing early. You may also want to have a timed propane leak test. You want to be sure your oven /stove isn't a leak for propane.
As always very informative!
lol "the dog is barking,the cats are freaking out!"
Use an unlit propane torch output to test the alarm.
Excellent reminder to everyone - keep in mind that the lifespan starts the first time that power is applied, so your detector could be up to 12 months old in your "brand new" rig - be it trailer, class A, etc. The recommended max lifespan on most of them is 10 years, even for the newer self contained battery units, so if in doubt, replace it!
I love it when people ask me if I can put a switch in so they can just turn it off which I won't do it....not gonna have that liability.....
Wow look at all that unused space. Thanks. 😎😎
Hey Sweetie!!!…………Booooooorrrwooooooooorrrr!!!!!!’❤️🐾❤️
I believe dometic bought Atwood, so may want to check with them if you want the same detector. It will probably have a different part number
Was so excited to see your live streaming again. Hope ever6is feeling okay?
I believe by code you cannot have a switch or any device to turn off the propane detector.
Are you guys ever going to get back on the road?
Remember to check the wire colors
I would think that the manufacturer assumes the RV is getting used seasonally, so for fulltime RVers that 5-7 years is probable cut in half, which makes sense with when you started to have issues with it.
No, the 5-7 years is merely the life of the detector which doesn't matter with the use of the trailer.
That's really weird, the propane detector in our 99 class B is original and works fine. I test it with a propane torch and it works every time.
Ok now that the new propane detector has been installed let’s test it out. Come here Sweetie…!
Ours goes off when hairspray or bug spray is used. Let's you know its working. Ha!
I'm super paranoid, I have two. Second is backup. Same with carbon detection, always have two. Second as backup. Always be safe. One is hardwired, and one is battery.
What happened to travel videos? We have been following your channel since you started but lately have just skipped over your videos. We miss the adventure and travel videos .
I agree things seem to be different since they got back on the road this year we miss the way they used to be . It's almost as if it's intensional but can't figure out why ,
can you put a list of tools in the comments or in a video overlay??
You're kidding right? A screwdriver, a multimeter, wire strippers... ?
@@strshooter7399 no some of the tools i don't know the name for. It just looked like pliers to me. Also it's not a bad thing to ask when you don't know something. Thanks for letting me know those were wire strippers didn't know they had those; I only knew about thw wire cutters.
Sorry for being sacrastic. Many different tools that do simliar jobs. Some wire strippers have a section that can also cut the wire. Some strippers have spring loaded jaws that have a variety of openings for specific wire gauges which can be very precise and strip the insulation off very quickly without cutting into the wire strands underneath. A variety out there, some cheap, and of course some very expensive. Choice accordingly to your needs vs your budget. An inexpensive multimeter to read voltage is always a must, digital inexpensive unless you use it in a job situation. Let your paycheck decide. He should have used one. Its like always doing a CA roll through stop signs, one day you're look as you roll through, but not see, and boom, get hit. Always check for power. If you're not comfortable with a job like the one he did, there are lots of folks that can provide hands on, walk you through it for nothing. Again, my apoligises for being a jerk.
@@strshooter7399 it's alright; thatnk you for the intel and advice! I didn't even think about checking if the voltage was low since he took out the fuse. that's really important so it's appreciated.
@@neonrainbow9033 Take from an old US Navy Aviation Electrician's Mate, wiring can rub against other wires, things happen in Aircraft ( & RVs) due to vibration. If you've ever been really shocked, and lived, it HURTS. So, isolate the circuit, but check it for power.
Dog farts do set it off.
Probably couldn't find the same one, because the manufacturer found out it was no good & took it off the market!!!
Time for a trailer upgrade.
Yeah because a $60 part going bad means we need a whole new trailer. Yup, makes sense 🤣

@@FateUnbound too many repairs so far.. I'd look into better quality/name brand. Maybe a grand design or airstream.
@@FateUnbound "Roe"
I would get my multimeter out just to make sure I'd chosen the correct fuse. I kind of scared of electricity.
