My 1997 Fleetwood motorhome has a factory installed propane leak detector with a solenoid to shut off the propane flow should you turn off the detector, or it picks up a leak.
I thought it was a Federal requirement to have one after 1995 or something.
If you have a propane detector, you can normally shut off propane flow by turning off the switch. However propane is heavy, so the leak detector much be located near the floor to pick up the leaks, thus will be difficult for a old man like me to reach. I sometimes turn it on with my bare foot (socks on) but your results might vary.
