Can't locate CO detector

[mirving524]

I have a Forest River XLR Hyperlite 2013 and can't locate the CO detector. Maybe it doesn't have one? Anyone know?

In our trailer the CO and Smoke are separate units, in the truck camper there is a combination CO/smoke detector.
Check your smoke detector to see if it is combination unit.
You may have to take it down to read the label on the back.

CO is only ever so slightly lighter than air - not enough to matter.

Example

Propane is heavier than air and a detector is normally mounted low. Ours is on the slide side wall behind the dining table chair, less than a foot above the floor. Chris

Example

In my '05 Montana and my current 2018 Grand Design it was/is mounted in the bed room high up on the wall.

If you have propane devices (stove, furnace) it should have a CO monitor somewhere. My 2007 Montana has CO detector in the bedroom. And smoke detector and propane detector in the living room. CO detector mounted high up on wall. Smoke detector mounted to ceiling. Propane detector located near floor.

And it is not gen preped.

It's probably combined with the Propane detector - mine is.
BTW, ALL rv's built after a certain year were equipped with one from the factory.

:B Yes, this will find it! Often times the propane and CO are combined. I would think most any 2013 model would be so equipped. Maybe a call to manufacturer will get the answer, if you don't have a tailpipe hose.

It will only have one if it was factory equipped for a genset- IOW, rigs with internal combustion engines are required to have CO detectors, those without don't.
