Hello all.We are full time in our 2011 Dutchmen Colorado 5th wheel and we are experiencing a new problem. the RV has a Atwood Protector LP Gas Detector Series 2001, the light is flashing red and yellow, and I have unpluged the gas and removed from RV. I have checked the battery all is good. We are pluged into shore power here at the park and everything else works good. I did push the test button and alarm did sound 3 times checked the fuse box, all is good unpluged the RV and battery held up well. Am I due for a new unit or am I missing something? Thanks for your help

I don't know but try a Google search.

Those go bad really easy. Might need a new one they sell them at camping world. I would try that next for sure. I've had to replace a few in different rv's i've owned. Should fix the problem right away if not return it.

Thanks Ricklord 2001 I was thinking the same

I have also had LP and CO detectors go bad after only 2-3 years. Not a huge cost, so I would just replace it. In our Colorado the CO detector died year 3.Daryll

Three lights on unit

Green....power
Yellow...fault
Red......alarm

Yellow & red flashing........unit needs replaced
The 'sensor' has a shelf life, typically 5 + years. But some go bad early.

Had an Atwood LP Gas Detector go bad within 10 months. Unit was still under warranty. Dealer installed a new one, end of problem. I watched the tech install the new one and figured I could probably do the next one!
