I finally received the correct 30 series propane alarms from Safe Home Products today, after they had shipped me the 40 series models by mistake. It only took me about 5 minutes to replace the original CCI model in my Kit Companion travel trailer. The fit was perfect and I was even able to use the original screw holes used to mount the original, from the factory, 1997 model CCI detector. Replacing the 2008 model in my 2008 Hawk was just slightly more of a challenge. The spacing of the mounting holes on the new detector were slightly narrower than the CCI model, and the hole in the cabinet that Four Wheel Camper cut for the CCI model was "generous", so I barely had enough wood available to drill the holes for the new screws. However, after angling the screws a bit, I was able to get the new alarm to mount and completely cover the hole in the cabinet, and almost all of the original two screw holes. You have to look really close to see them. I'd say this project was a success and took a minimal amount of time to accomplish. The new detectors appear to be functioning just fine. Time will tell. BTW, they do have a "replace on" date stamped on the front of them.

Excellent. I think I'll place my order. Thanks for the update.
