While checking the interior of my 2015 Majestic 28a last week I heard beeping and discovered it was my dual carbon monoxide / propane gas alarm. Upon closer inspection, the flashing lights indicated the unit had reached the end of its useful life and needed replacing. An inscription on the face plate also directed the device be replaced after 5 years of service. Just an FYI for other former rental owners to be aware. Cost to replace is appproximately $75. I bought mine online through Camping World with a $15 coupon.
I had the same thing happen to mine,my RV was a bit over 4 years old when I purchased it,The propane detector failed about a year after my purchase, it was just a bit over 6 years old according to the MFG Date.
I replaced it and then just a few months ago I hear that same beep again,checked and sure enough it was my Propane alarm failure beep and flashing light.
I pulled it out and checked the MFG Date,it was 5 years and 2 months old,talk about planned failure.
I also replaced mine from Camping World.For me I went to the store and checked it before I bought it,its MFG Date was only 1 month old,I suggest checking that to make sure that you didn't get a old one.
A link to the one you bought might be very helpful to other owners of a Majestic 28A. Thanks for coming back and alerting others of this!
I had the same issue with one of my two 2015 Majestic 28a units (beeping detector)... I decided to replace the propane and carbon detector on both my units because they clearly state that they are only good for 5 years.
Important to note: There are different form factors (sizes) for different 28a units. One of my detectors was basically square, while the other was a long rectangle.
If you have a 2015 or older cruise america unit you should definitely pull the detector and look at the date and replace as necessary. That detector is a serious safety device you don't want to mess around with.
Happy Camping!
