I've never had a rig with this, but I've heard of them. Pace Arrow was an upper tier coach in the day and may be using a safety shutoff switch somewhere. When the detector senses a leak it sends the signal to the shutoff unit.
If you can't hear propane coming out of the burners, then there is no propane in the lines. Another very simple thing to do prior to ripping things apart is to shut off the propane at the tanks, wait about 15 minutes, then very slowly open the valve (make sure the stove burners are off.) Some tanks will have a shutoff valve in them that will get tripped if you open them up too fast.
X2 Once and awhile I have seen a few with a CO dector that has a 9volt battery and if the battery is dead it shuts off the propane. it is hooked where the thermo couple goes on the ones I have seen. The thread are the same size so it can be removed but be safe and get a stand alone CO detector.
