So, do you think the detectors might be doing their job? We had a handheld propane detector we could use to verify. Is your propane low? Detectors can go off when the tank is near empty.
But the bottom line for me is. . . if you "cleared the air" and the alarms quit, there could just be a leak somewhere.
My parents bought a class B once and my sister and I both smelled propane when we went into the coach. My parents camped in it occasionally but never complained about it. My sister bought them a propane detector. We were all camping one weekend together and my sister asked why dad wasn't using the detector. He said "It doesn't work." She asked why he thought that. He said, "Well, everytime I put the darn thing up, it starts beeping." Duh Dad. You've got a leak like we've been trying to tell you. So my DH and BIL got to checking. There was a propane line under the coach that was leaking. Tightened it up and all was good to go.
I would have it thoroughly checked out. Maybe a propane company would do some tests for you.
