LP gas monitor

[ac7880]

My original was an atwood that detected and then shut off the safety
valve at the main tank.

I don't believe Atwood still sells the LP Gas Detector that also
shuts off the gas valve automatically. I could not find a
replacement Atwood with the automatic gas valve safety shutoff, they
were only detectors. (this was last year - maybe they have them now).

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
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 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'.

They also have a carbon monoxide CCI detector:
