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. ...

Yep, the sensor on the detector is getting covered with hairspray and Lysol. If enough of either/both of those stick near the sensor, on the grille or whatever, the detector will go off randomly.
Tell the wife that the next detector is coming out of her beauty budget. ;)
You can get stand-alone CO/LP battery or electric detectors and put them where you want. But they would just get covered in gunk, too, most likely.
I've seriously thought about doing that, too. If putting a vent cover and using the vent fan doesn't keep this from happening again, next time I may well just get a battery powered unit and put it further away from the bathroom.
