Atwood LP detector availability

[Big_Gar]

I am wondering if anyone knows the status of the wired 12 v Atwood LP detector. They currently seem to be unavailable. Is Atwood no longer making them or are they simply suffering supply chain issues. I am aware of this discussion thread:

I've been searching for the Atwood 36720 but some retail sites say that this has been replaced with the 36719 which currently isn't available either.

I want a replacement LP detector for my 2016 23FB Flying Cloud. Does any one know of another brand of flush mount that will work with the 2 1/2in x 3 5/8 in hole without too much extra cutting (or none preferably) or should I wait patiently for the Atwoods to come back in stock.

We were able to buy a replacement from Woodland RV mid March. Here's the link: https://www.woodlandairstreamparts.c...e-gas-detector

We had heard they were hard to find so I called to check availability. She said "Let me check". Then "I've got it in my hand." I said: "Good. Don't put it back on the shelf. I'll submit my order as soon as I get off the phone." It came 3 days later.

The unit was smaller than the original on our 2009, BUT came with a mounting plate that was an exact fit for the original's hole. So Good luck!

I just replaced my with a RV Safe RVLP-2B Propane Gas Alarm. You can get it off Amazon.

I was considering the one firemed509 mentioned (RV Safe) which I think would have covered the hole if it it was mounted vertically which I think is OK to do. It would have been cheaper to go that route $55. But with Burnside's link I decided to go with the exact replacement (no new holes to drill) though it is more expensive at $96 now. I suppose the short supply of these drives up the price. Thanks for your help. Gary

I went through this about a year ago, it seems that the exact model number is no longer available (no longer produced) but there is an equivalent replacement, different model number, but nearly identical. I posted in a different thread back when I did it, there are a bunch of helpful details in that thread. The atwood replacement I got fit perfectly in the original cut-out spot.

I have an Atwood unit in our 2016 FC. There are no lights on at all and everything else electrical is working. Is there a fuse or something else to look at or do I just need to replace the whole unit. I believe it is the original unit.

thankks

[Big_Gar]

On our 2016 23FB FC the fuse is (un)conveniently located under the bed in the cubby where all the wires come in.



Hidden in this tangled mess is a 1 amp fuse holder (it is connected to one of the wires on the positive bus bar (copper colored). In this photo it is under the mass of wires. But when I connected my replacement Atwood Detector. It too was dead. Luckily I remembered reading about the location of this fuse and just happened to have that access opened up. It is a 1/4 inch long 1 amp fast acting fuse. When I replaced it the Atwood detector blinked red for three minutes and then went to green like it was supposed to. Good Luck!

I forgot to mention that a 2016 is probably close to the 7 year replacement date for the propane detector as was ours. I went ahead and replaced it. Gary

Ok I will crawl under there and take a look. Based on your advice about the 6 year old unit I ordered a replacement from Woodland Airstream. The local dealer here wanted $200.
thanks again.
