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. ...

Will,
Buy separate LP and CO detectors.........battery operated OK
Install CO in bedroom area on wall 1' down from ceiling
Install LP in an other area (kitchen) down low (bottom of cabinet etc)
(Remove LP Solenoid.......lots of MFG. no longer install them)
Then cover old location with a decorative wall register plate....
Excellent idea, old biscuit, I like it! One of those wall register plates would cover the hole up very nicely. Then, like you said, would be free to get battery operated separate units, and put them as far away from the bathroom as possible, eliminating this issue.
Only thing is, now that the dealer is sending us a new detector free of charge...Kinda makes it tough to justify, right now, spending the $$ to get separate CO and LP units and buying one of those wall registers. If this happens again, though, and we fry a 3rd detector, we will almost certainly go this route. Think I'm going to have to bookmark this thread for the future. :)
Lots of manufacturers are no longer installing the gas solenoids any more? Hmmmm, interesting. Makes me even more tempted to get rid of that solenoid, regardless how or what we use to replace the detector.
