The factory CO detector timed out and needs replacing. Wondering if it is necessary with residential refrigerator and AH? Don't use the stove for heat, so looking to just eliminate it. Just replaced the gas detector 2 months ago.
No concerns about the generator?
Better safe than sorry in a closed environment. Plus if you ever want to sell the coach, an intelligent buyer will require working safety equipment.
BTW, LP and CO detectors have a 5-7 year lifespan, so if yours are original, they are WAY past due to be replaced. Smoke detectors have a 7-10 year lifespan, so same.
Replaced the LP and smoke detector recently. But having a hard time getting the exact CO to fit the hole of the OEM was why I was thinking of disconnecting it. I'll keep looking for a replacement to keep the value of the coach on a resale.
Just FYI

"While diesel fuel combustion engines produce lower levels of carbon monoxide than gasoline engines, these emissions can still generate lethal amounts of carbon monoxide given a sufficient amount of time in an enclosed space. Carbon monoxide makes up anywhere from 2% to 12% of diesel exhaust gases."

Law offices might be prejudiced the actual amount of CO in diesel exhaust is less than .1 % I worked in tunnels in the Operating Engineers running heavy equipment and the only thing needing filtering was the particulates.

My LP and CO detectors (all three) failed last year. 2AM false alarms. They were only four years old.
Was not a voltage issue. Replacements work fine.
