Kidde

Do I need a Kidde Carbon Monoxide + Explosive Gas 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.

What to check before you buy

• Check which gases the listing says it detects (propane/LP, natural gas, carbon monoxide).
• Check the power source (12V hardwired, plug-in or batteries) and the mounting style.
• Alarms have a stated service life; check the listing and replace on schedule.
• An alarm is a backup, not a substitute for shutting off gas and ventilating if you smell gas.
