   Hi Roy,
Is it the kind of detector that shuts off the LP supply to the coach? What is the expiration date stamped on the back of the unit? Fred

Hi Fred it’s a replacement sensor that I received from rebuilder. I can’t find the date I installed it or the the paperwork from the vender. I would like to keep the propane shut off system in place if possible. It’s a CCI Controls LP Gas Detector.

    CCI controls is out of business. Safe-T-Alert makes a replacement with the shut off solenoid at the tank. However, I believe it is a combo unit for CO and LP. I think it is available from Amazon for a gazillion dollars!. While at the Beaver Quartzite rally, Lamar's solenoid quit working and he told me to remove it so his stove would work. I think the original technology has since come and gone because there are no manufacturers installing those systems anymore. Just the detector combo. Fred

I replaced all 3 detectors on my 09 Monterey Sunset.  Purchased new ones from Amazon selection.  Very good selection and prices.  RV dealer wanted prices 75% higher than Amazon.  Unbelievable!  All installed & working fine.
