Just a warning to those of you who use the gas ring to warm up your camper:
Whitby deaths
It's well worth considering fitting a carbon monoxide detector somewhere in your camper - I've got one in mine.
I've got a Diesel Eberspacher fitted, but I still use a gas ring to boil a kettle in the morning for a drink or at night for a hot water bottle while I'm getting ready for bed, and the alarm does very occasionally go off as a Carawagon has such a small volume
You can get detectors with digital count display (LIKE THIS ONE) which is useful to monitor, so you can open a window if the count starts climbing before the alarm goes off.
Be safe
Cheers,
Robin.

Re: Carbon Monoxide!
G'day Robin. yes i think that is a great idea in fact so simple i should have thought about it myself having had a few near misses waking up during the night thinking it was a massive hang over then looking in a mirror and noticing the colour of my face it was not nice.
AS you know it is classed as the silent killer so is easy worth having one fitted the good thing is the headache/hangover will not be there if you wake up during the night and fancy another
Catch you later. R-Rose .
