Carbon Monoxide!

Just a warning to those of you who use the gas ring to warm up your camper:

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.
