Re: RV propane sensor Reply #25 – April 27, 2022, 06:23:42 pm Hi Greg; Your original 2017 detector would be timing out about now. The picture you provided says on the front, two red blinks, followed by two green blinks and so on is the 5 year signal. The Pangaea fits the same holes as the MTI. That appears to be the model 30. Your picture appears to be the more square'ish model 40 and Amazon does still have that in white. Amazon.com: Safe T Alert 40-442-P-WT Propane/LP Gas Alarm - 12V, 40 Series...

Re: RV propane sensor Reply #26 – April 28, 2022, 10:56:54 am Ron, I went out and measured mine and it is somewhat squarish, matching the dimensions on the MTI website:40 Series Flush Mount | MTI IndustriesCase Size: 4.8’W x 3.4’H x 1.4’DI ordered the one from Amazon (in white) that you linked to, at a significant cost savings. Not sure what I'll receive as the Amazon photo and dimension description do not match. I'll update this thread when received. 1 Likes
Re: RV propane sensor Reply #27 – April 28, 2022, 12:33:00 pm Hi Greg; It is interesting to know that Lazy Daze switched to the smaller, type 40 size, instead of the longer rectangle of the type 30 size. All of the LD's sold since 2017 will be coming up for renewal, so this information will be pertinent. I don't imagine that LD would be putting different LP monitors in different floorplans. I shy away from the combined CO and LPG detectors, because I don't want to have to decide which alarm it is. With location specific detectors it is easier. I already have the holes in ceiling and walls anyway. My smoke detector is just a foot away from the CO monitor. Since we sleep on the king bed pullout, I can view the green and red blink of both of those detectors (TK floorplan) at night. RonB
Re: RV propane sensor Reply #28 – April 28, 2022, 01:06:10 pm Ron, agreed about combining the propane and CO alarms. In my 2017, the CO and smoke alarms are a combo unit.

I called the Mothership and they are out of stock and suggested looking online. I went ahead and ordered the 40 series flush mount (in white), even though the part number isn't exactly the same. Hopefully it will fit ok . . . we will see!Propane/LP Gas Alarms | MTI IndustriesFinally received the detector and, other than color, appears to be an exact match.
Re: RV propane sensor Reply #30 – May 26, 2022, 07:01:51 pm Finally got around to swapping out the propane detector. As usual, Lazy Daze doesn’t give you much wire to work with so I actually spliced into the old detector wiring, after cutting it off, instead of the factory wiring as this will need to be done every five years. When you do the swap, make sure you disconnect the coach batteries and pull the solar fuse to eliminate all power sources. I think the white looks better than the black so I’m happy with it! 1 Likes
Re: RV propane sensor Reply #31 – May 26, 2022, 07:11:41 pm Greg,Indeed those wires are short. Did the same thing with mine. Soldered the extra 3” between the new sensor and the LD OEM wires. Tucked everything in and buttoned everything up.Good to go for another five years.Kent 1 Likes
Re: RV propane sensor Reply #32 – July 15, 2022, 10:05:38 pm Replaced my propane alarm today, after two separate sessions of chirping.Would have preferred black again, but went with brown. Since the alarm would have timed out by the time I got home, had to be a field swap, accomplished by ordering one from Amazon five days ahead of where I’d be, sending it to a locker.Was tempted to clip the wires right at the old alarm but decided I’d be better off cutting right after the Lazy Daze crimps. Used the cut wire to figure out that white goes to black.Was the perfect time to use my new Wago 221 connectors, stripping all the wires to 11mm, as per instructions, trivial to connect up, should be able to use them again in five years.I tripped my 120V breaker while turning the power back on, took me a while to figure the reset process out, but it was a good learning process.My first electrical work in the TK, and everything is still working 🤓 7 Likes

My sensor has started the out-of-life countdown on our 2017 MB. What is interesting is that in the 15 years we had our 2002 MB, there was no out-of-life alarm countdown. I wonder if it ever worked. Hmmmmm. Oh well, time to replace this sensor. 1 Likes
Re: RV propane sensor Reply #34 – September 10, 2022, 11:03:41 am When I recently swapped mine out, I used twist-on connectors. Since then, I’ve purchased Wago connectors so need to redo the connections.
