Having a propane or carbon monoxide gas leak in your RV is a scary situation that you don't want to even think about let alone experience. But this detector will give you peace of mind knowing that if there are dangerous levels of either, it'll quickly and accurately warn you and your family so you can get out of the RV and into fresh air.


Hard-to-Miss Visual and Audible Cues

When carbon monoxide is detected, the red LED will flash, and the horn will blare 4 times. When propane gas only or both propane and CO are detected, the red LED will come on, and the horn will be constant. And because the sensors are highly selective, they're designed to only sound the alarm for lethal gases, reducing the number of false alarms that occur in non-threatening scenarios.


It'll also alert you when the battery is low or when the detector has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced, so you never have to be without protection.


Easy to Test and Silence


RV Safe Propane and CO Detector

To double check that the detector is operating normally, you can easily use the button on the front to test the propane sensor, carbon monoxide sensor, and battery voltage. You should test your detector every time it's taken out of storage and before it's taken out for each camping trip. This button also lets you silence the horn up to 5 minutes during non-life-threatening situations. So, you can turn off that annoying racket in the middle of the night while you're trying to hunt for a new battery.


Surface-Mount, Bolt-On Installation


RV Safe Detector Installed

The 2 included universal mounting brackets allow this detector to replace 90 percent of all OEM surface-mount and flush-mount detectors. This detector can replace most Atwood and Dometic branded detectors, as well as Safe-T-Alert 20 series, 25 series, 30 series, 35 series, 40 series, 45 series, and 65 series detectors.


Because propane gas is heavier than air, it'll settle near the floor, so this detector should be installed 4" to 18" from the floor to accurately detect the presence of gas. Also make sure that the detector is located in an area that isn't near a window or door, behind furniture or drapes, or in a closet. It also shouldn't be installed with 24" near a stove, oven, fridge, or furnace.

The RV Safe propane gas and carbon monoxide detector was a perfect replacement for another model that came with our RV. The trim back plate covered holes that were there nicely. Easy to install, two wires connected to existing 12V wiring with wire nuts, 4 screws and done. It tested out perfectly. So far there have been no false alarms (big plus). Packaging and delivery was perfect.



by:

Very compact unit with great filler plates to cover existing holes . Extremely pleased with the product and versatility.
Price is very good considering it is a dual monitor.

Working excellent. No issues . Confident the detector will protect my family and rig



by:

Replaced existing detector in 2017.5 Lance 2285. Not the same as the original, but looks great. Had to drill pilot holes for screws as the cover plate on this one did not line up with existing holes. No issues. Easy install.



by:

We installed the new propane gas & carbon monoxide detector last summer. It works great!
Easy to install (our old one quite working) & makes camping in our slide in truck lift top camper safe and secure.
Recommend this product and company



by:

Perfect replacement for the Safe-T-Alert which came with my 2019 motorhome. I ordered this item specifically since a Safe-T-Alert detector the same size was not readily available.

Fit and covered the opening from the older/larger one. ETrailer has a competitive price… I just think they are an overpriced product in general

Replaced a similar detector that expired. Easy install, easy instructions, booted right up. Good product.

Customer service is excellent. I called for assistance for a propane/CO2 detecter. Product arrive quickly.

Very easy to install and has worked very well for the past year. (I didn't know you need to replace these things every five years in your RV!)

Easy to install. Product arrived on time and in excellent condition. CO/Propane monitor issue quickly resolved!



by:

I love the size. A nice replacement for my safe-t



by:

This replacement for the old Atwood in my Living Quarters horse trailer was easy to install and the instructions were very helpful. I like the slim design compared to the old block style Atwood. It was also nice that the detector came with two different sizes of mounting plates.



by:

Great service and products

Still working great after a year.



by:

Received the RS54Fr detector to replace my Safe T Alert 70-742 which is very hard to find and expensive. The new one comes with plates to help cover the holes from older units. It arrived fast and fit perfectly using the larger cover plate

Mark

2/25/2023

Great, It has never alarmed but when I check it it seems ready and able



by:

When our detector started beeping I was worried that a replacement would be hard to find and even more difficult to replace. E-Trailer provided me with a perfect replacement unit that I installed in about 15 minutes with no difficulty. Though not identical, the replacement fit nicely, came with easy to follow directions, looks great and serves a valuable purpose no one should do without.



by:

Went in easily and the two backing plates make it easy to cover the existing hole. Unfortunately, can't tell if it's working until a crisis occurs.

Thanks, e-trailer, for your help!
Ben



by:

Easy to install and worked fine. But, have traded trailers since then,



by:

Good products and service



by:

Exactly as described. Quick shipping.



by:

Product has a thin design and worked well to cover up the existing holes with 1 of the 2 cover plates. Easy install and works well.



by:

We're glad to have our RV monitored again, easy install and has a nice low profile.



by:

Just what I needed and fast!

    The 2-Wire RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector part # RS54FR is not designed for butane but I spoke with the manufacturer and they said if the levels are high enough it will detect this and signal an alarm. The power draw is minimal, 17mA.

    If the alarm on your Atwood ProTECHtor 2000 Series will not reset then you either have a leak or the detector itself is faulty and needs to be replaced. The average lifespan for a gas and carbon monoxide detector is 5 years so you most likely just need to replace it.

  • Can Kidde Carbon Monoxide Alarm be Opened up
    The Kidde Carbon Monoxide alarms C3010 and C3010D are meant to be replaced after the sealed 10 year battery runs out so you'll actually need to replace the entire unit (we unfortunately don't carry this product and I don't know how to break into it). This is pretty standard when it comes to gas and Carbon Monoxide detectors. All of the gas and Carbon Monoxide detectors we carry, like the RV Safe # RS54FR, wire into 12V power on your RV, are more expensive, and only have a 5-year lifespan...

There are two included mounting brackets to choose from, dimensions are 7-1/4" long x 3-3/8" wide or for the smaller bracket, 5-3/4" long x 4-1/4" wide.

  • Newly Installed RV Safe Gas Detector Doesn't Work on Shore Power
    This has happened a few times before with the 2-Wire RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector - 12 Volt - Black # RS54FR, where someone replaces their old non-functioning alarm with a new one, but the new alarm appears not to work when the RV is plugged into shore power; but it does work when the RV is powered by the 12v battery. The problem is actually the 12v power converter, which is a more common problem on older RVs. The power converter may appear to work, and will even read a...

    The Atwood AT36681 is no longer available from the manufacturer. However, we do have the 2-Wire RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector, # RS54FR in black and # RS34FR for white.

    While we do have some carbon monoxide and propane alarms, we do not specifically carry the Safe-T-Alert 70-742. This is because we do not carry Safe-T-Alert products. With that being said, we do have the RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector - 12 Volt - 2 Wire # RS54FR (black) and the # RS34FR (white).

These units measure 4-1/4" long x 1/2" deep and have a mounting hole spacing of 3-5/8". You can compare this to your current detector to see how they compare.

  • LP Gas And Carbon Monoxide Detector For An Atwood LP DOB 31013 LP Gas Detector
    Since the Atwood LP DOB 31013 is no longer available, your best option is to do a full replacement. I recommend going with the: -RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector # RS34FR for white, or the: -RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector # RS54FR for black. Both of these carbon monoxide detectors are flush mounted, measure 4-1/4" long, 2-5/8" wide, and 1/2" thick, and when either gas is detected a LED light and a loud horn will sound.

    Based on what you are saying, it sounds like the detector is faulty and needs to be replaced; you did the right thing with vacuuming it and checking the batteries, as those are the two steps that need to be taken to ensure there isn't a dust/voltage issue. Since there is not, replacing it is the right move, and you can do so with either a White or Black color: - White: 2-Wire RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector # RS34FR - Black: 2-Wire RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector...

  • Carbon Monoxide / Propane Gas Alarm Availability & Recommendation
    Currently, the carbon monoxide and propane gas alarms we carry are made by RV Safe and are highly rated. Sadly, we do not carry the SAFE-T-ALERT alarm you describe. The alarms we do carry, the # RS54FR in Black or the # RS34FR in White will safely monitor the carbon monoxide and propane gas levels in your unit.

  • What Propane Gas Leak Detector do You Recommend for My RV?
    For a propane gas leak detector, I recommend using the RV Propane Gas Detector - 12 Volt - 2 Wire # RS64FR (white) or # RS54FR (black). This detector requires 8V-15V of DC power and has overall dimensions of 4-1/4" long x 2-5/8" wide x 1/2" thick. It also comes with a large and small mounting bracket for your application. It is important to note that these detectors do not include the required flat 1/2" self-tapping screws.

  • Replacement RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector for 2015 Thor Challenger Motorhome
    We offer the 2-Wire RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detector in black, # RS54FR or white, # RS34FR. RV Propane Gas and Carbon Monoxide Detectors are a fairly universal item and easily replaced. The additional face plates that come with the unit allow retrofit to most all situations. The Atwood 31013 is no longer made, its cutout size is 3-9/16" long x 3-7/16" wide. So the above options will work and the plates will allow it to be dressed out for a clean finished look.
