http://rvtravel.com/blog/lowtech/2007/07/dont-become-carbon-monoxide-victim.html Nearly 200 people die every year from Carbon monoxide poisoning, with over 10,000 case ending up in the hospital. The Low-Tech RVing blog features advice on how to protect yourself from the odorless and colorless gas of Carbon Monoxide, along with a list of symptoms to watch out for. CO gas can come from malfunctioning heaters or ovens in your RV. While all new RV come equipped with CO detectors, they need to be replaced every five years.

I take issue with your statement, “While all new RV come equipped with CO detectors, they need to be replaced every five years”. There are many functioning detectors out there older than that. The manufacturers recommend replacement every 5-7 yrears to “benefit from the latest technology upgrades”. If I was making them, I would like to see that happen myself! Replace the batteries as indicated, vacuum the dust, push the test button & call it a day…
