Cheers

We have a Kidde alarm/detector like this one but with a digital readout.

Our's is neither of those ... it's the same as I linked to but with a readout in the center.
Our's is mounted on the kick board below the rear seat.

Re: Carbon Monoxide alarm - camper
I would mount one higher than the highest gas appliance as CO is lighter than air by a smidgen. Certainly not at nearly floor level - you will have succumbed to the fumes by the time it has warned you.

Re: Carbon Monoxide alarm - camper
Does it have twin sensors? If not how does it cover CO and CO2, lpg etc at the same time?

Re: Carbon Monoxide alarm - camper
Can't find one under the trade name of 'Discover' but I found this one for a bit more than a tenner. (Looks a bit like the other one though.)

But how does it sense CO which rises and CO2 which sinks - does it have two sensors so that one can be placed high for CO and one placed low for CO2/lpg etc?
How does it cover them both at the same time?

Re: Carbon Monoxide alarm - camper
I just included CO2 along with lpg as it is heavier than air also.
I still cannot see any mention of two sensors in the ad. to cover the two different gases.
