CO/LP detector failures
Our CO/LP detector went nuts again this last weekend camping. By 'going nuts', I mean, it started going off at random times repeatedly, when it is impossible for there to be any CO or LP present. ...

After a while the 'sensor' is shot
Your title is CO/LP and then in your post you talk about CO
IS this a combo CO/LP that is hardwired to rv battery?
It is a combo CO/LP unit hardwired to the battery, yes. It also is wired to a solenoid on LP gas line, that shuts off gas when LP is detected. I am extremely tempted, though, when I replace it this time, to remove that solenoid from the gas line and not use that part...
I hate combo CO/LP because each has differing mounting requirements.
LP should be down low....close to floor as that is where propane settles
CO should be wall mounted about 1 foot down from ceiling.
Can you remount elsewhere vs next to bathroom.
I wish! It has to be down low since its an LP detector. Only thing I can do is move it maybe 2-3' down same wall, that much further away from bathroom door. However, DW gets very 'animated' when I talk about moving it, 'cause of the hole it would leave where it is now, that we couldn't easily cover up and make look OK. Sooo, moving it is out (argh).
Or is hairspray really necessary..........7 yrs full time GF never used any. Cut her hair short/sassy ----- wash/wear :B
Ohhh, don't EVEN get me started along that line!! No, it is NOT necessary, but you know how it is, what we have to do to keep our women happy (and what happens when they ain't happy, hahahaha!)
