RV's are generally required to have propane, CO, and smoke detectors. There are a number of 12 volt CO and propane detectors available. If you have a combustion device that is starving for oxygen, you will have a CO problem.

With a heater on, there's always the possibility of high CO2. With gas in any form, there's always the chance of it displacing oxygen in case of a leak. Is there a decent low oxygen sensor on the market? Does it not make more sense to test for the lack of something you need (oxygen) than the presence of something you don't? I was wondering if anyone had experience with such. Jim |
