My propane detector was going off anytime I was on the road and not running the generator. I also had it going off when I was running propane heat. After I checked the house batteries and topped them off (I was bad), the problem went away. I think that the 12 volt feed affects the sensitivity of the detector.

Just got an 03 PA 36B and have managed to set off the detector several times. Seems when the coach battery voltage drops below somewhere around 8 or 9 volts (I am a slow learner with the electrical system of my coach) the detector decides to turn itself on. I silence the alarm, then start up the generator (or if it won't start due to low voltage I use shore power) and charge the batteries. Once charged the detector is happy and keeps quiet.
