Smoke, CO, and Propane detectors

What is needed is a dual chamber detector that will detect CO and smoke from a slow smoldering fire such as may start in a R/V because of electrical fires and fast burning smokeless fires.
After a lot of research.
This is what I found.

I suggest you read all the info and make your decision on this but I replaced the ones in my Class C with this one.They are rated for 7 years
and most are only rated for 5,If your RV is older than 5 years old and they haven't been changed they are most likely no good. Mine needed to be replaced so this was a good deal for me.
Just a reminder,a first line of defense is always the best. Check those smoke detectors and replace them if needed,all have a date on them and how long they are good for. If they don't, toss them.
While it is important to know all of your emergency exits it is also
important to be warned early,especially if you are older or have mobility issues or have small children.
I hope that this helps,It is better to be safe than sorry and it is a small price to pay for security and peace of mind.
