Additionally, CO2 is heavier than air so using the setup described over night would dump a lot of CO2 right under the front of the trailer where you are sleeping. CO2 detectors help, but mine is located in the back half of the trailer by my fridge and furnace. Not sure it is worth the risk.
And yes, OP does not want to be sleeping with a gigantic CO generator a few feet away.
Motorhomer's do it every night. And in most cases those generators exhaust out below the belly of the motorhome. But it's a decision each individual has to make on their own.
