Helpful hint for the clumsy

So if you knock over a bottle of wine and it drips on the Propane detector in the kitchen, it will set it off. A hair dryer will clear the wine from the detector and clear the alarm. The button only quiets the alarm for a few minutes, then it starts again.

Since my alarm is 2 years old, I'll replace it when I get a new one.

It is sometimes surprising what will set them off.

Maybe I shouldn't have had the 2 bourbons before I tried to open the wine. Only spilled a little of the wine, Just enough to upset the detector.

Red or white? Sometimes that may make a difference. And hopefully it wasn't a special vintage.

We had a pet which set alarm off when he "broke wind" near the alarm. Go figure. Like to never figured this one out.

Sound like a money making opportunity. Introducing the RV Spilled Wine Detector. And that's not all! If you order now, we'll include a Dog Gas Passing Detector feature...a $40 value....at no extra charge. Available in brown or black. Get yours now before everyone at your campground gets them!! Just $39.99...if your order now. Normally a $99.99 item but it's yours at the discounted price if you order within the next 30 minutes!
