Sad news from Nashville KOA-two dead from carbon monoxide.

Very sad but avoidable.

Kidde has a new model that has a ten year lithium ion battery. It also has a readout so if the alarm goes off you can see what the level is. About $50 at home depot.

CO = Carbon Monoxide which kills
CO2 = Carbon Dioxide used to make your soda fizz, you also exhale CO2

I have the built in Propane/CO detector as well as a stand alone CO detector in the bedroom.

Not only be careful....but be pro-active too! If you dont have a carbon monoxide detector get one. If you have one...make sure it works or replace it.

Saw this already earlier on here - This is something I'm sure we all do from time to time. The stove burner is there to use by just flipping a knob.. every one surely knows the hazard here... Even in our tent camping days we used catlytic type heaters and survived... A MR BUDDY heater is my current back-up heater in my OFF-ROAD POPUP now and I have a special spot to use it which is right under a roof vent... Going to sleep with these things burning fuel is definitely a no-no for us...

Even the high dollar CAT TYPE unvented propane wall heaters is unsafe to use as a couple of well known RV NET familys on here know from first hand experience.
