My solution was to cut the wires to the propane alarm so I could remove it and put it in the trash. They drain the battery and are prone to false alarms. A real nuisance.

I don't believe they provide a safety benefit in RVs. They are a technology brought over from the marine world, where propane poses a much more serious risk, for reasons I've written about before but won't go into here.

Guess this depends on the model. In the 25FB, it is accessible by removing a rectangular piece of plywood under the mattress. There is a cable with a red in line fuse plastic piece with a sticker saying "1A in line fuse". Pretty obvious. Unless you want to add something to the circuit though, removing the bottom drawer and simply putting in a switch there is probably easier.

I agree with the notion that these alarms make no real sense. I cannot fathom that there could be any kind of legal situation that prevails over common sense - yeah right (dramin' here), but still this is about our own common sense and how we deal with our own situations...

It would beep. It is stored in my barn where I go every day and I would hear it. Yes, it can't leak if the tanks are shut off. And that's fine because no one has ever made a mistake.
