I've had this happen 2 years in a row. I just ventilate and then pull the batteries during winter storage. It is the antifreeze that causes the alarm....
Thanks!
At least it's not just me and I am 'not' going crazy.....(from being in Florida and having to winterize the MH go figure). :R
Because of the unusual cold here all the stores are out of RV antifreeze and I did have to by some off brand I have never heard of before. It does smell more and the detector sure didn't like it.
When living up North I have always used Camco RV Anti-freeze and never had this problem. Actually thought I would never have to winterize ever again, wrong.
Soooo, I guess the tip of the day is beware if you use an 'off brand' RV antifreeze.
