How RV Fire & Gas Detection Works

Propane and CO detectors continuously monitor air for combustible or toxic gases and trigger an alarm when levels exceed safe limits. Automatic fire suppression systems use temperature sensors to release extinguishing agents before flames can spread, protecting engines and living spaces.

Tip: Regularly test and replace detector units every 5–7 years, and inspect fire suppression cylinders annually for charge and corrosion.

Reminder

Inspect wiring and alarm indicators monthly. Always replace expired detectors and suppression cylinders before your next trip to ensure full functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need both propane and CO detectors in my RV?
Yes. Propane and carbon monoxide are different hazards. You need both detectors for full coverage and compliance.
How long do RV fire suppression systems last?
Most automatic suppression systems last 5–10 years depending on manufacturer. Check the cylinder label for inspection intervals.
Can I install a fire suppression system myself?
DIY installation is possible for small units, but professional installation is recommended for engine or electrical bay systems.
Are these detectors powered by RV batteries?
Most gas and CO detectors are hardwired to your 12V system. Many smoke alarms also include battery backup for redundancy.
