As I said, though - not much use in a caravan if they have to be sited at least 15 feet away from any appliances. Unless you've got a very big one with an end kitchen.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

------------- Caz ours is about 6 feet from the door and placed at head height next to the door,imho still think it's better to have one than not have one.
------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
i would say not get a co detector , they would more than lightly be treated the same as a smoke alarm either have a flat battery or not one at all ,
it doesnt matter what things you have in a caravan to find co , you cant beat geting it serviced correctly ,and you cant beat getting someone who knows what they are doing and talking about , i have just done my acops refresher and its amazing whats changed in the last 5 years ,
and those who havent been for any form of training want BANNING BY LAW !!!

Homeowners should remember not to install carbon monoxide detectors directly above or beside fuel-burning appliances, as appliances may emit a small amount of carbon monoxide upon start-up. A detector should not be placed within fifteen feet of heating or cooking appliances or in or near very humid areas such as bathrooms.
1. Detectors located in the same room as a fuel-burning appliance
• If the detector is located on the wall it should be located at a height greater than the height of any door or window but at least 150mm from the ceiling. If the detector is mounted on the ceiling it should be at least 300mm from any wall.
• The detector should be at a distance of between 1m and 3m from the potential source.
• If there is a partition in a room, the detector should be located on the same side of the partition as the potential source.
• In rooms with sloped ceilings, the detector should be located at the high side of the room.

ours is 2 month old and has a 4 year battery back up.anyone who treats them like a smoke alarm is not very responsable.i also check smoke alarm battery once a week and the co alarm.
