While we're on the topic of carbon monoxide:

A 17.5 million dollar lawsuit was pursued after a hotel decided to bypass the carbon monoxide detector on the boiler. The detector had switched off the boiler for safety reasons while staff simply bypassed it to please the hotel occupants need for hot water. The air conditioning system sucked up the carbon monoxide leaving some with illness and some with brain injury.


Remember Carbon Monoxide is a 'colourless' and 'odourless' gas that left unchecked will prove fatal.

Hi Elaine, pay particular attention about where to place the detector for best effect. Follow the instructions that come with it carefully. In the absence of good instructions call the help line or visit the manufacturers website, most have them.

Some generic advice:

Do Not install the gas alarm:

• Behind furniture (including curtains) or in enclosed areas such as a wardrobe cupboards or cabinets
• In any area that does not have good air circulation.
• Within 12 inches of a window, exterior doors, heating or return vents, or in any other drafty areas.
• Within 5 feet of any cooking appliance or kettle.

Most carbon monoxide alarms are intended for household use,as if you read the instructions they have to be fitted within certain peramiters wich cannot be achieved in most motorhomes or you will get false alarms.My answer to that is i would rather have false alarms than no alarm.
