At mud nationals carbon monoxide detector going off

[Spleenstomper]

Fuzion 342. Boondocking at mud nationals. Carbon monoxide detector going off.

What to do to trouble shoot it. I opened a few windows, and the ceiling exhaust.

Been going off 20 mins

Thanks,

Will come back and edit this post to add more photo links:



^^^ My exhaust pipe is to the left of these chairs. We have informed everyone in the area about the CO2

We had a problem with out 2005 Raptor. When we ran the generator the fumes from the exhaust pipe could leak into the RV. This happened several times, fully tested everything and narrowed it down to that. I built a home made Genturi, or you can buy one for about $130. Depending on your exhaust location this might be the issue.



Side Note: Found it funny to search for a picture and found somebody had swiped my old photo for his site.

Yes, we are going to have to do this. It makes sense to have one.

Yes this worries me because there are a lot of people here and people are grouped in clusters with RVs and tents right next to each other.

We don't think it is the audible low battery warning. Its wired into the 12 volt system and it has a battery backup. The RV is less then a year old.

It is a loud sustained siren sort of. It woke me up after an ambien and with me using a CPAP and a white noise machine. You can't sleep or ignore it.

I do think it is detecting carbon monoxide. It turned itself off after we opened and used the ceiling fan in kitchen and bathroom and aired the unit out and turned off the Onan and fridge, which was running on propane.

Mud Nationals does not require people to snorkel exhaust up.

Obvioulsy, I am cranky this morning. No sleep.

More than likely.

Thanks. Everyone is close camping, so I don't know if it is us or another camper. We turned off generator (Onan less than 1 yesr old) and the gas. We used a Honda last night in its place.

We will troubleshoot more today.

I have a CPAP so I need electricity.

Thanks.

How old is it? Their life is only about 5 years, but my last one only went 14 months.

Turn off your gas at the tanks. See if it keeps going off. Are you running other engines near by? Generator, bikes, trucks?
