Carbon monoxide monitor for the safe new season...

Flower Power · Apr 14, 2026

I saw this monitor on this forum a long while ago but finally found it and purchased it. Super easy installation as you can see... hehe....secure and tight fit no rattles. I got it from amazon.de for 16 euros. Came from the UK.
Public service/safety announcement on my part.

Be safe.
(no the green light does not stay on all the time... it blinks and I just caught it.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm EN50291-1 certified by Scondaor (3 AA batteries not included)

I just open a window when I’m using the hob!

But this is not for that! But you might be also opening a window or door while sleeping in a cold weather with a heather on.

Nice, I managed to pick up an all in one smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm - and open the windows - small price to pay considering the alternative. I read somewhere on here that Welsh Gas had his ‘works’ detector on as he turned on the gas, it pinged almost immediately that the O2 level dropped to dangerous levels - not that I’m saying my better half has forgotten more than once, or it’s cold or it’s raining or she’s had it up to here with me…

The heater is located outside under the vehicle, and the window must always be open when using gas in the vehicle, even in cold or wet weather.
However It is ok if you sleep better with this 16 euro gadget..
I prefer ventilation.
The only rare cases of death by carbon monoxide i find on the internet is in caravans with gas stove inside ..

This isn't the correct spec for a CO detector suitable for a campervan.
Look for detectors that comply with EN 50291-2 (specifically for caravans, campervans, and boats).
Domestic detectors are often certified to EN 50291-1 (for home use).
The “-2” version means it’s tested for vibration, humidity, and temperature fluctuations common in vehicles such as campervans.
