DUTCHMEN ASPEN TRAIL 2060BH – LP Gas Detector Replacement

There is no worse feeling in full-time RV life than a critical system failing in the middle of January with nowhere to be towed and no mobile tech available until Monday. I’ve been there. That experience is why I now maintain everything on a schedule and know how to handle the repairs myself. The LP gas detector in your Dutchmen Aspen Trail 2060BH is one of those components that sits quietly doing its job until it doesn’t — and when it fails, it either chirps at you relentlessly at 3 a.m. or, worse, stops protecting you and your family from a propane leak that feeds your furnace, stove, and water heater. Replacing it yourself is straightforward once you know what you’re dealing with, and this guide walks you through exactly what I did on my own rig so you can get it done safely, correctly, and without waiting on anyone.

The Briidea Dual Detector That Actually Fits the Aspen Trail’s Factory Mounting Bracket

The stock LP detector in your 2060BH will eventually fail — either it stops detecting altogether or develops a false-alarm habit that’ll wake you at 2 a.m. — and when it does, you need a direct replacement that matches the 12 VDC hardwire standard and doesn’t require rewiring the entire cabinet.

What works

• Mounts into the factory Dutchmen bracket without modification; the footprint and electrical connector align with the original detector’s location.
• Dual LP and CO sensing means you’re covered for both hazards with a single unit — 100dB alarm is loud enough to wake you from a dead sleep when it matters.
• 12 VDC direct hardwire means no battery backup to manage or replace; it draws power straight from your coach battery and stays silent during normal operation.

What doesn’t

• The separate LED indicator light is advertised but the wiring harness doesn’t always include the pigtail connector — you may need to source the extension separately or hardwire it yourself.
• Takes 2-4 weeks on standard Amazon shipping; if you need this running before a weekend trip, overnight shipping adds real cost to an already tight timeline.

I second-guessed whether the 12 VDC hardwire would actually integrate without splicing into the old harness — turns out it does, but I spent an hour testing polarity before I trusted the connection. Grab the RV Carbon Monoxide & Propane Gas Alarm, Briidea Dual LP/CO Detector with Separate LED Indicator Light, 100dB Loud Alarm, 12 VDC, Black and don’t cheap out on the install — this is safety hardware, not a novelty.
