I'm not very fond of using gas/propane heating while I'm sleeping in a TT.
Seriously though, a year ago we both woke up in our last TT with a severe headache (a minor headache the previous morning). We suspected CO. Neither the CO or propane detector activated. The heater was off, frig on a/c, and the gas hot water heater on. We were parked near a beach on a windy night with no generators or vehicles nearby. The gas hot water heater was the primary suspect. Had two local RV dealers check all the systems out and they couldn't find anything wrong. Needless to say, for the remainder of the trip we turned off the propane at the tank before we went to sleep. Never got to the bottom of the mystery--the TT was totaled a week later in an accident and replaced.
