Not true.
"Factories" are typically 5,000-100,000 SQUARE FEET of space.
"Factories" typically will have pretty darn large outside fresh air exchange systems running at all times.
RVs are pretty much very limited in interior space (100-400 square feet).
RVs tend to have very little full time air exchange with outside air.
Small square footage plus very limited fresh air exchange and you are setting yourself up to wake up DEAD.
Engines running on Propane DO still emit CO, just at a reduced rate. However, if for ANY reason the engine has any problems with the fuel mixture or spark and or plug, that goes out the door and CO goes up..
Personally, I HATE inhaling indoor propane fork truck exhaust, the smell makes me noxious.. It has a slight smell of the odorant ethyl mercaptan that doesn't always fully burn up which propane companies put into the propane to allow easy leak detection..
Fortunately my company uses electric forklifts..
