No but it is a good thing you noticed and were able to fix the problem. When I did my PDI, I checked the smoke and CO detector but didn't check the propane.

I had the exact same problem they cut the wires to short and they eventually pulled out. My detector has a black and a red wire. The black wire is connected to the white wire in the trailer wiring, and the red wire is connected to a white wire with a red stripe. Hopefully that will help.

Thanks that is what i thought red/white = red wire and black goes to the white wire
but i had to get a new one the red light stays on all the time so now i see why it was maybe unhooked?
