I've just read Jims post 'Don't die in your sleep' and thought I'm OK I fitted a detector last year, I then read Peters (Johns Cross) post 'Safety in your van' where it was recommended that a detector should be fitted approx 4ft from the floor.
The detector I bought is hard wired into the leisure battery circuit and the recomendation in the instructions were for it to be fitted at floor level which I have done. Reading Peters post had me checking several different sources on line and some say they can be fitted any height because CO is about the same density as air and others say their preferred location is at about 1.5 metres height. I read the Kidde fitting manual online and they seemed to say at 1.5 mtrs so you can read the digital display easily.
Can anyone tell me do I need to relocate my alarm?:wooo:
