I have a 2015 Flying Cloud 20 and am trying to locate the in-line fuse for the Atwood LP Gas Detector.

If any one out there can send me a pic or just describe where it would be located would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Is there an inline fuse?
I looked up the manual and it recommends a 1 amp fuse to protect the unit, but I took that to mean in the fuse panel.
The new unit comes with bare wires.

Yes, there’s an in-line fuse not supplied by Atwood. It’s there because it’s connected directly to the battery and not the fuses.

On my unit, the inline fuse for the propane detector is located near the battery use/store relay way under the front bed area. It's a real bear to get to.

Should be in the same vicinity on yours...

Same in my '17 FC20, wire comes off the positive buss to unlined fuse, then disappears into forward wall.

In our 20ft FC, the fuse is directly behind the detector plate, about 3" back on the wire.

Had the same problem with my 2014 23FB. Found our fuse in a panel under the front of bed curbside. Remove mattress and 4 screws to access the area where the in-line fuse is located. Maybe yours is the same. Good luck

Thanks for all the replies however I have still not found the fuse. I looked in all the places recommended but all I found was one in-line fuse on the front side right under the bed by the woofer. I pulled that fuse and and checked it but it was fine. I also emailed AS directly but have not heard back from them.

It sounds like you found the fuse. I have heard that they may "look" ok but in fact are bad. Try replacing the fuse with another 1amp barrel fuse and see if that works. If not, the Atwood detector (which is rated to last for 7 years) are notorious for failing before the 7 years are up. I just went thru all this with mine and replaced it. Working fine now.

Thanks...the fuse that I did find was a 7 amp 250v, all I had were 5 and 30 amps. Will try again.

Finally...after all the good advice and the process of elimination I found the fuse!

It was under the bed on the left just above a box that houses the inverter. I have attached a couple of pics for those that have the same problem in the future. Thanks for the collective effort!

@mikeljla - thank you for posting those pics of the 1 amp fuse! 🙏 it saved me hours.

My original Atwood propane detector timed out and chirped every 30 sec. - wouldn’t stop, even after pressing the mute button. Started chirping at 3:30 am, I cut the two wires and went back to bed. This is in a 2013 25FB International Sterling.

Thought it would be easy to buy a new Atwood detector but hard to find locally in stock. Read that Atwood was bought by Dometic but couldn’t find the rebranded Dometic propane detector.

Ended up using a Safe-T-Alert 40 Series Propane Detector. Had to cut a bigger hole for it to fit. I cut it a bit too much and the screws don’t fit so I used Velcro but it’s working and all seems ok.

Mike just to confirm it is a 1 amp (in the picture) not a 7 (in your text) correct? The red 1 am is the only that I recognize.

Thx

darn, I was at the trailer in storage this am. I have the mattress out so the port opening is right above it. Thanks for the post.

I am currently dealing with same nonsense. Pink Orchid, Would you mind confirming the model number you picked up?

Thanks!

PinkOrchid · 07-31-2020, 09:48 PM

It’s MTI Industries 40-442-P-WT. Attached are the front and back of the packaging.

This thread helped me and I want to pass on that the inline fuse for the propane leak detector is under the mattress. However you access it by moving or lifting up just the mattress NOT the same as accessing the under bed storage. Then you will see a screwed down hatch near the front corner. The inline fuse is there but hard to see. Trust me it is there. Put in a new one amp fuse

This is for a 2011 23fb flying cloud

shucklemoon · 05-20-2022, 08:42 PM

I'd like to have an abrupt conversation with the person who decided that a failing alarm sensor should incessantly chirp, with absolutely no way of silencing it until replaced (with now-nearly-unobtanium parts, but I digress), and then decided that the fuse that must be pulled (to silence it AND/OR replace it) should be buried under cabinetry and furniture and behind nearly-inaccessible false walls in storage compartments. THIS guy....

Daquenzer · 05-21-2022, 07:51 AM

I have a 28'. Mine is located under the couch way to the front by the buss board. I can't begin to get to it. My wife weighs 110lbs and can squeeze underneath and do it though. And by the way, if you replace the alarm, make sure and take the fuse out before you hook things up again. I read on instructions if you don't do that it could harm the detector. I just replaced mine. Haven't got the fuse in though. The guy that designed this needs to try and replace it himself. Why not put the fuse closer to where the detector goes in?

Parthrie · 06-04-2022, 08:50 AM

We had the same end of life chirping at the start of our trip. Thanks to theses posts and Mike’s picture, we were able to locate the fuse under the bed. I could remove the fuse with one hand, but re-installing after the new detector was in was a two hand job. I could not contort myself to get two hands on the fuse holder, so my wife got one hand on the fuse holder from inside, and I accessed the cap through the storage compartment. Way up under the bed in our 2015 27 foot FB. Thanks for the help!
