How high is the CO reading from the alarm?
Don't have a permanent one on the MH and I've yet to find the one we had in the fiver. I guess I will be getting a battery operated one today.
If this is you 2013 Fleetwood 40x, it should have a built in one as standard equipment!
And it is not un-common for new equipment to have power train problems such as exhaust leaks. Trucking companies keep new rigs close to home for the first 6 months because of those new rig problems. We should also expect that with our coaches and chassis.
There is the propane gas detector, it doesn't say anything about CO detection. It has not gone off. I purchased a battery powered one today. I will test it when driving back home.
The funny part is this isn't constant. After about 15 minutes or so it goes away. And most of the drive time it's fine. The last trip we took we didn't have this problem at all. So the first trip of 5 hrs it happened and went away, the second trip no problem, this trip after about 1 hr it happened and we were ending our road trip at about at around 1 hr 15 minutes.
I looked into the engine compartment today with a flash light. No black spots at any connection I could see, and what I could grab seemed tight. I have a service call at Fleetwood in November, I'll have them look at it, but I'll be sure to keep the CO detector up front while driving.
