Hi all,

Just wondered what people's thoughtS are on whether or not a camper with gas on board should have a carbon monxide alarm on board? and if so which one/type or recommendations to buy...

Cheers

DD

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

Ian,
Is yours like this one?

Or this one?

Where do you mount them (high or low)?

Cheers
Paul

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.

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.

You have a PM mate.

This is the type I purchased. You can read my product review on the same page (entitled "Essential bit of safety equipment.")

I have one of these as well (in my caravan) will detect even the smallest of leaks http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorhome-Car ... 0916550039 As I found out yesterday

Does it have twin sensors? If not how does it cover CO and CO2, lpg etc at the same time?

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?

where does it say it detects Carbon Dioxide ? (co2)

Dual system for Carbon Monoxide,Natural Gas,LPG.

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.

I see , I think it would be a cracker of a unit if it did all it says it does
OBG best email 'discover' and ask them

some more info here
