we have a 2024 Avenue 32RLS and the propane/ carbon monoxide detector seems to go off around the same time each night around 4:00 a.m. in the morning. anybody else having an issue like this? we are also running a electric carbon monoxide detector which is fine so we know it's not carbon monoxide and we don't smell any propane anybody have any ideas? it's located right as you come in the entrance door on the sidewall of the cabinet at the bottom. I was thinking it is getting air from the vents underneath the stairs and something was coming in from there. any help appreciated. thanks

So, I think that I would start by checking the date on the detector. They have a service life and a replacement date.
From memory, I believe it is 5 years from the date of manufacture.
Second, if you could share some additional details, it might help provide some guidance.
Is it consistent all the time @4 am as you indicated.
Are there any lights on your detector, to indicate a CO or propane alarm(ie which one is it alerting to)
Is there any generator running in close proximity to your rig?
Is the furnace running?
Is the water heater running on propane?
Is the stove lite?
Please respect the alert until this is resolved, your safety is at stake.

You might want to pick up a combustible gas sniffer and possibly a CO sniffer neither is expensive.

We have ‘24 Paradigm 395DS and ours has been acting up lately. The pattern I noticed is that ours has been going off when the water heater is running on propane, and when the west Texas wind is blowing strongly on the same side that the water heater is on. I can only assume that the exhaust may not be able to vent adequately and is coming in through the under-stairs vent. I did place a separate CO detector at the same spot to confirm. It was also showing CO gas but not enough to alarm the other detector while the RV detector continued to alarm. While the RV detector is not yet expired, and we are also no longer in Texas. I’m going to keep watching it before I replace anything
it is usually around 4 AM. it wakes us up from a dead sleep and I have to hurry out and just yank the wires off of it so I haven't looked to see which light is lit up or what the alarm is from. the detector is not even a year old yet. nothing is running. no furnace, no water heater. no oven or stove either. there are no generators nearby as we don't have anybody next to us. I'm going to give it another try tonight and connect it and see which light is lit up. if it goes off tonight. I'll advise at a later time to see how things go
