LP Detector Location in 2005 Winnebago Journey

I would like to know EXACTLY where the LP Gas Leak Detector is located INSIDE my 2005 Winnebago Journey 39K. It shows a picture of it in the manual but does not tell me where it is. Any help is appreciated.
ALSO - what is the BEST and SAFEST way to test the LP Gas Detector?

Thanks in advance

  • I had a 2002 journey and Winnebago forgot to put the alarms in it.We were going down the highway and heard a beeping noise.dw went looking for a low battery in one of the alarms. Turned out she couldn't find not one. The beeping was her cell phone and the dealer installed the alarms.

    Propane is denser than air and will collect in low spots.

    Typically in kitchen area.

    Push test button.
    Flick an unlit butane lighter next to it

    The sensors have a 'self life' typically 5-7 yrs. Expiration date is on backside of alarm

    They are hardwired directly to battery 12v DC system
    or get a dog.. :)
  • As stated, mine (2003 Journey) is on the cabinet just below the reefer. Mine crouped out last year, at the 10 year point. The original model is not around, but screw in replacements are found at any RV store. I used wire nuts to attach mine, to make it easier the next time.
