CO/propane gas detector replacement

[rideadeuce]

After 7 years, the CO/propane detector needed replacement. The alarm stayed on and wouldn’t reset. Got on Amazon and ordered the one linked below, perfect fit. Says to replace every 5 years. 2 min. Job. Even came with its own quick connects. I know there are previous posts about this, just thought I would update with a new one since this topic will be coming up for others soon.

Thanks rideaduece.  Same boat here and ordered the same replacement.  I do notice that the Atwood had 2 red wires and 1 black and the RV brand one only requires 1 red and 1 black.  I'm assuming you just twisted the 2 reds together to attach to the red on the RV detector?

I did this swap few weeks ago and immediately noticed the same thing, however once started tracing the red wire back and pulled back some of the wire loom found the red wire is one wire coming from power source with a y splice to make 2 red wires. I just cut the red wire at the splice and ran 1 red to new detector.

Thanks Derek.  Very easy swap.
