Your profile doesn't include the year of your RV. Most LPG detectors have a limited lifespan of 5-7 years. After that, the detector isn't reliable and may not work properly and/or may "false alarm" when there is no propane near the detector. Additionally, the coating on the detector can be contaminated and rendered inoperable if exposed to some cleaning chemicals, natural gasses (think flatulence), dirt or other substances.

You might, depending on the age of your RV, be in need of a replacement LPG detector.
