CO Detector

Pleasure-Way -2006 ..DW would like to travel with the bed down in the
queen size position. The CO monitor would be very difficult to shut-off due to location on the van.
Question: Can I remove this fuse for this item without causing other
problems?

We would purchase a monitor that can be mounted near the bathroom
area.

Thanks,
Len

There are three different detectors. The one at the bottom is for propane, and usually is attached to the 12 volt system. Then there is a detector for CO and a fire alarm, sometimes combined.

I like having at least two additional combined smoke/CO alarms, and changing out the 9 volt batteries every time change.

The propane one, I understand that it can get annoying (I woke up to it going off when voltage was low.) There are combined propane/CO gas detectors. I'd buy at least one of those if I were to disconnect the main propane alarm. That way, it won't be keening in the middle of the night, but one has protection.

Our's would go off when the battery voltage got low. Now let's see boondocking without power. I didn't need and alarm going off at 2 AM to tell me the battery was low. I was not edumacated (intentional) on the inner workings of the detector. I made up a spray bottle of soapy water and checked every LP connection. Once I earned my dummy degree in detectors I added a on/off rocker switch next to the little alarm clock. If it doesn't behave I flip it's switch and give it an electronic sock in it's mouth.

To all the nay sayer's on disabling the device, I promise if I wake up dead I'll never say a thing about it.

Just disconnect wire on unit. Fuse may feed other things.

Install a battery powered one 1 foot below ceiling.
Is it time for your medication or mine?
