While doing the pre trip prep on the hauler and re screwing and nailing down everything that fell off from the last 100 mile trip I heard a chirp. Found the CO2 detector was bad. No big deal off to the RV store and found out these have a 10 year life span. Well mine says replace in 2012. My trailer is a 2010 so that means they put in a 7 year old part!!!!!! I already replaced the LP that was out of date before the trailer build out. The CO2 detector btw was 110 bucks. What a sad and shameful way to run a company
While I agree a detector that old should not have been installed, but paying that much for a new one sounds illogical to me. Kidde has a new unit out that has a ten year battery and a readout display so if the alarm does go off you can see how bad the problem is for about $50.
