Most certainly if you intend to use either whilst someones asleep or whilst driving

I bought one of the smoke alarm type ones and I keep it in the bus, and always have it on when w have the Propex on at night.

Small price to pay for a good nights sleep.

i just got a house one from bnq,forget its in the van until mot time when the moter says"wot the hells that beeping coming from ya bus?"

door open and reving engine in a confined space equals alarm,so take it out for mot :mrgreen:

Most definately, as being a gas man myself I can't recommend them enough.

 

[hipshaker]

thanks, i'm convinced

now ...... where do you locate them in your vans?

 

[vesp]

As Carbon Monoxide rises i would place the detector as high in the van as possible.

 

[hipshaker]

ok, high up then. i was wondering as the gaz bottle feeds both the cooker and the propex in different directions.

a trip to b&q is in order.
