Do I need a Kidde Carbon Monoxide & Explosive Gas Alarm for travel?

Direct answer

A gas alarm is meant to warn you of a gas leak in a small enclosed space such as an RV cabin. If your RV uses propane appliances, many owners want a working alarm. If you carry no propane or other fuel appliances, it is optional.

Who it may help

RV and camper owners with propane appliances.
