In my 5er, both CO and smoke are mounted near the entry door on the ceiling. This is about 10-12 feet from the oven. On occasion, if the wind blows the exhaust around the trailer and the entry door is open, the CO alarm will go off.
The propane detector is on the floor across from the refer, furnace and stove/oven. Definitely floor level on the Propane detectors as propane is heavier and sinks if it escapes. The propane runs on the RV's 12 volts but my CO and Smoke are the battery type. I test them all every time we use the trailer. It is best to do exactly what the manufacturer recommends for their product as far as installations.
Also, my propane detector is wired directly to the battery with an inline fuse. This way the darn thing is always on so you don't forget to turn it on and can't be disable at the converter/fuse panel. The problem is it runs the batts down after a month or so. I added a battery on/off switch to the rig.
