Will a weak battery on a popup give you this indication. Book says its a fault indication with the microprocessor and to replace unit. I had no problem before until now when I noticed the interior l...

Depending on the state of charge at the beginning of your trip, 1.5 hours is hardly much time to get a charge through the typically under-gauge wires that OEMs will use for the "charge" line.
I have tried and will not ever again count on the charge line of my TV (even though I increased the gauge) to provide an adequate charge.
Your CWS8 should be equipped with a power converter that should include a battery charging function. Plug the shore power cord into a 120v household outlet with a 30 amp to 15 amp adapter plug a couple of days before to charge up the battery.
Also, while plugged in, the converter should be supplying a steady 12v (probably 13.2v) to the CO detector and the lights. If it is showing faulty at that point, consider replacing the detector. The lights should be at full brightness while plugged into shore power.
Here's some good reading on batteries, 12 volts and the theories involved: 12volt side of life part 1 and 12volt side of life part 2.
