@John Dorrer. The RV-Safe alarm we ordered actually comes with a Wago or Wago-look-alike connector! ☺️

Great idea!

FINAL DECISION: Well, we decided against any shutoff options and went with the RV-Safe alarm like the OEM one that came in our hull #941. Thanks to all for your ideas and thoughts. Barb

And @jd1923, thank you for your post for rewiring and moving things under the dinette seat. I will certainly work on that. Barb

@Rivernerd, that's a good reason for me to "let my hair down" while camping! @jd1923, no, I'm sorry I didn't articulate well. Our alarm, like yours, is under the dinette seat. I thought everyone could read my mind 😏 when I mentioned "under the street-side bed". That was in reference to removing the fuse for false alarms. I was thinking that in the case of those middle-of-the-night false alarms - or anytime there's a false alarm - that it would be handy to be able to simply reach under the dinette seat and disconnect a connector. I'm not sure why you couldn't read my mind!😁

I haven’t been able to find that post…

Would it be possible to use some sort of quick-disconnect connector on the wiring for the propane/CO alarm? We must replace our alarm and, once replaced, I thought it would be wonderfully convenient to simply reach under the dinette seat, rather than under the street side bed, to quickly disconnect it in case of a false alarm.

@SteveCr, thanks! We have always kept our differential at d2, and I would think that default setting is the better choice. No?

@jd1923, I've never even heard of a control box! I had no idea when we purchased this Oliver 1 1/2 years ago how much I would need to learn!!! Yes, I reset the thermostat and my husband shut off the breaker, and the clicking is as bad as ever. In a year and a half we have yet to use the air conditioner, so I don't even want to think about replacing it (even though it's volume was off the charts when we tested it). I'll go read the thread you mentioned. Thank you for sticking with me on this! Barb

@John Dorrer, yes, we did the reset ... still clicking!!!😵‍💫

@jd1923, thank you very much! Our Dometic a/c doesn't have a heat pump, nor does our thermostat have that setting. You may be right about our thermostat being on its last legs; hopefully it can limp thru this month-long trip. We greatly appreciate your idea of shutting off the breaker for the a/c and have just now followed your advice.☺️ We'll see how tonight goes. Barb

We are boondocking and running our furnace at night. The fan, via our Dometic thermostat, is set to AUTO, although we have also run it on low at times. Our problem is that throughout the night whenever the furnace is attempting to ignite, the AC is also making loud clicking sounds, as though it is trying to start, as well. To be clear, the clicking sounds probably aren't loud, but at night they sure seem to be! Argh! Anyway, what do we need to change to stop the AC from trying to do whatever it's doing? Thanks! Barb

@Steve Morris, oh, thank you so much! Your knowledge about such things is helpful and your answer is comforting. I appreciate your input! Barb

@Steve Morris, I wonder if you saw my question in the above post?

@jd1923, WOW! I am so grateful for thorough explanations like yours so I can learn about these Oliver details of which I know nothing about! Thank you! It must have been a different Mark & Barb who had brake shoe issues; regardless, I want to have some knowledge to be prepared for possible future malfunctions. Your previous comment about your brake locking up put fear in me - now I know a bit about what to do. Thanks!
