I never remember reading about a solution to the FWC propane and other gases alarm spuriously setting off the alarm...usually around 0130 hrs!
Not really questioning what gas, if any, is setting off the "false alarms".
As previously noted I even tried to duct tape over the entire face of the alarm unit to prevent any gases from reaching the alarm sensor....did not work.
Problem is that a true propane leak should set of an alarm; propane in a confined space is damn dangerous....but false alarms work against the alerting of camper occupants and detecting a problem..
With our Hawk in our shop and on 110 v and propane off at tank the alarm still goes off...In our Hawk AGM batteries [2] are in a neoprene sealed box [FWC's] with a screened vent inside the box venting down into truck bed...can't believe batteries are the source of the gas setting off the alarm...especially "sealed" AGMs.
Sooooooo, has anyone truly figured this out and came up with a way to stop the false alarms?
Thanks...Phil
