We have bought this year a brand new Swift freestyle SB 4. It was fitted with a digital carbon monoxide detector, which keeps going off when we shut all the doors and windows. We have taken it back to where we bought it and had it all checked out. Nothing wrong, apart from a loose connection to one of the gas pipes under the sink, which they fixed. Now we are back out in the van again and its registering at 95, this is very worrying, and the alarm can go off during the early hours. We have switched the gas off yet it still registers. The company are going to send out a new alarm in case it is faulty..we have tried it in the car, at home and in the awning but it goes back to 0.
Always a worry when the Co detector acts up, happened to us once but it was the battery going flat and new one fixed it. It shouldn't be that on a new van but you never know. If it persists I would let your dealer check it out.

We had the same problem, it would go off in the early hours and scare the life out of us, turned out it was a bad detector, (probably because we bought the cheapest one we could find) spent a little extra on a new one and its never gone off yet.
If someone has used furniture polish by the detector it seems to cause this problem. As I found to my dismay at 3am one morning. After 24hours in winter with no gas in our home the polish I had used the day before turned out to be the cause.
