Carbon Monoxide detector mystery

Don't let the dog sleep with his butt pointed at it.

OR spill beer next to the LP detector...it happened to us

[andrewssteve]

replaced our detector. . .

On edit: This is a good time to also replace the LP detector, that will start beeping soon too.
We have replaced all the detectors and replaced the smoke detector in the hall with one that lights up.

Anyone know where the CO and LP detectors are on a 2018 Solitude 310GK?

The combination detector is at the foot of the couch end table on the fireplace side.

The Propane detector is placed next to the floor because Propane is heavier than air and will pool next to the floor. That is also why there is not a bottom (floor) where the Propane tanks are kept.

Note: slide needs to be open to see the detector.

Interesting. We both have 2018 Solitude 310GK's. I just found mine. It's at the base of the side-wall on the hutch -- seen as you enter the door. (My pic won't upload. ??)

I have to say that that is a much better location for the LP detector.

Looks like I will be mounting a LP Detector in my hutch soon !!!

My pic won't upload. ??

Hmm. It uploaded after I switched from the campground's unsecure connection to my mobile hot-spot's secure connection. Not sure if that's the reason, but. . .
I added my inverter-controller and an inverter-loads sub-panel to the side-wall. Detector is on the bottom.

Interesting Photo, not only are our Propane Detectors in different locations, but our electric service panel is located inside the RH lower door of the hutch, whereas, yours is mounted on the side of the hutch.

No, my main electric distribution panel is located same as yours. I added the sub-panel you see in the pic. Then I routed all the 110 V loads that I wanted driven from my inverter from the main distribution panel to the sub-panel. The inverter has an automatic transfer switch, so when there's shore power, the sub-panel is driven by shore power, but when there is none, the sub-panel is driven by the battery bank/inverter.

What this accomplishes is the convenience of not having to switch breakers on and off depending on whether I'm inverting or not. Plus safety: I didn't want to forget to flip the converter off whenever I was inverting. That's a bad electrical loop that could be either hazardous or at least deplete my little 800 amp-hour battery bank.

Humm. On our trailer it is the same as @SolarPoweredRV, bottom of the couch arm rest on the street side. I wounder if it is a build date issue. Our trailer is a late 2018 (built Feb 23rd 2018) build.

Ours was built December 2017. Wonder if the fireplace is a potential CO producer. I wouldn't think so.
