My CO/LP detector is alarming while my camper is in storage. Any idea why? The LP is turned off as well as everything else. Thanks in advance.

Could be a low battery warning. The battery will drain from parasitic drain on it. We will disconnect ours when not in use.

Or we have had a bad detector once when we first got our 179.

Have replaced one on my 178. Do not use LP and it is turned off at the tank. My second detector goes off intermittently now . Was thinking of just buying a CO2 home type detector and unhooking the existing detector. According to the RPOD tech guy, these detectors have been a problem.
