Turning off carbon monoxide detector.
Is there a way to disconnect or turn off the carbon monoxide detector without cutting the power to the entire unit?

I know you have a trailer, and what I am about to say doesn't apply to you, but I want people with motor homes to think about this before disabling the CO detector.
DW and I were driving our Class C from TN to UT a few years ago. The CO detector went off while we were approaching Colorado Springs. The MH was several years old, so we decided the CO detector needed to be replaced. Stopped at Walmart, bought a new one, and installed it. When we reached Denver, the new one alarmed. We found a Ford dealer in Denver who pulled a tech off of another vehicle when he heard we were traveling cross country. The tech discovered that the doghouse in our MH was not installed properly and was letting CO from the engine area into the house. It was enough to trip the alarm at the rear of the 32' MH.
