Antifreeze sets off CO/LP alarm?
This has happened two years in a row now (same 2 years that I've had my Starcraft 235fb). I add RV antifreeze to my lines, and put it in the traps and the toilet. It has that typical RV antifreeze smell. Within about 10 minutes, the CO/LP alarm goes off (the light indicates it is an LP problem).
However, the LP is shut off at the tanks and the shore power is not on. I open the doors and windows of the RV, and after a few minutes, the alarm goes off. It doesn't come on again after that.
The only thing I can figure is that the RV antifreeze is causing the alarm to trigger. This has happened in the exact same way for the 2 years I've had this trailer. The alarm never goes off during the camping season. Anybody else have this situation?
