You might need to take that unit apart and clean it. Mine did the same and
that corrected the problem.

The alarm below our Fridge keeps going off. The fridge seems to be
lighting and working well but after a day of operation the alarm
starts to sound intermittently. I have checked for gas leaks and there
doesn't seem to be any. Does anyone have any advice on trouble
shooting this?
Wishing all of you a happy and safe 4th!

Make sure your 12 volt battery system is charging properly. Sounds like
you only have the alarm turn on after you have run for a day. Are you
plugging into shore power or starting the generator to charge the
batteries? If all the 12 volt lights etc are ok, then you may have a
loose connector to the alarm or possibly you do have a leak in the
propane line? You need 12 volts to operate the valve for the propane
line to the fridge. Good luck & have a safe 4th.

Last weekend my friend had a similar problem while we were camping. It
turned out to be his wife's hairspray setting it off.

I had the same problem on our 94 BB BMC 37' and finally replaced the
propane detector. I think only CCI now sells a detector with the auto
propane shut off system.
I went with the CCI Control Electronic LP Gas Detector model 50859.
When a gas leak is detected in the RV, it sounds an alarm -- and it
shuts off the gas supply by controlling a UL listed LP gas valve. It
also has a on/off switch, that will open and close the external gas
valve.
This is what the original Atwood did minus the on/off switch, the new
ones that I found from Atwood did not have the shutoff feature. The CCI
is flush mount, but a different size than the Atwood. I had to lengthen
the mounting hole, and make a cover plate to decrease the width. I
mounted it vertically versus horizontially, with the sensor at the
bottom. I tested the CCI and it does indeed shutoff the original LP
valve on my 94 BB BMC 37'.
