Possible faulty LP sensor / alarm
Last weekend camping trip our LP alarm kept setting off every 30 minutes to 2 hours. There were no propane odors near the floor or alarm. Everything we were running was running on electric. We had one tank open to feed the stove for when we cooked. But the alarm was going off through the night. I finally disconnected it since there were no signs of a real problem.
Our trailer is going into its 5th season and I thought maybe the alarm was getting worn out and malfunctioning. I installed an exact model replacement alarm and I haven't heard it go off since. However, I wired the old alarm to a 12 volt battery and brought it in my house to see if it would repeat the false alarms. After a full day it never alerted. So, now I'm a bit confused. The old alarm isn't false alarming. The new alarm in the RV tests correctly but it's not going off at all either.
So... I'm not sure what to make of it. The open tank still shows as nearly full so I really don't think I have a leak. It's been about 9 days. I figure the tank would have emptied out at this point if I really had a line leaking.
Any ideas? The night the old alarm was going nuts it rained the entire day, heavily at times. I wouldn't think rain would matter but figured I'd mention it since it was unusual.
