Well as I recall the pink stuff is propolene glycol.. This might just be a relative of Propane.. But since the propane detector is really an explosive gas detector.. Alcohol fumes will do the trick.
NOTE I am no where near sure on the spelling of Propolene.

I think you hit the answer right on the head.
I checked the label on the generic stuff I bought and it had ethyl alcohol as the 'first' ingredient.
Can't find the ingredients on line for the Camco. But perhaps this junk stuff had a 'higher' level of alcohol that set the detectors off.
Where as the Camco never did.
Just was a big pain. Neighbors where I have my RV parked thought it was of course a fire alarm and freaked out! Never a dull moment owning an RV. :C
