Does the alarm sense anything else besides CO?  I have a JC Whitney CO/Gas
detector and it is way too sensitive.  It will go off at non-lethal levels
of CO, like sitting at a traffic light or smoking a cigar.  It also goes
off after filling the gas tank.  You may not be getting false alarms.  What
I did was put one of those home ones in there to test it and since it does
not go off on non-lethal levels it has never gone off so I have decided to
go this rought until I find a better one.

I recently installed a CO alarm manufactured by US Alarm Company. I
purchased it from Camping World. I've had several false alarms with the
unit
and I no longer trust it. Is anyone else in the Vanagon community using
this
alarm? If so, I'd appreciate some feedback as to your experience with this
product. Does the EV-Winnebago come with a CO alarm? If so, who is the
manufacturer?

Thanks,
