Same problem with random alarms especially while driving or charging. I put a switch on the circuit and turn it on only at night. Problem solved and protection intact. Risk is forgetting to turn it on. I put a small piece of tape on the faucet to remind me to turn it on.

 

 

I understand having a propane alarm...but honestly, has anyone on this forum actually had a propane leak into a FWC?  Also, removing the fuse takes 10 secs since on my Hawk it is inside the circuit breaker/fuse cabinet...

 

False alarms are like crying wolf...we tend to disregard them.

Check expiration date on unit. The combined alarm is good for only 5 years at best. 
Mine began beeping with propane off and no combustion products in camper. Replaced a couple of years ago to solve problem.

Not cheap.

I thought getting old would take longer.
