I have a Nighthawk. It is nice in that it has an LCD readout window where one can see if CO is rising well before the alarm goes off.

Prolonged use of the stove with closed windows does indeed register on the CO meter.

A concern with CO, gas and fire alarms is how they perform at the extreme temps encountered in a camper (at least here in Canada). I found several that don't function well in the winter, or in humid conditions.

In CO-alarms it is useful to check if the sensor element is exchangeable. The sensor usually last one to a few years.
