motor home produce CO in their normal operations, it is necessary to assure that CO levels do not rise to dangerous
levels within the motor home. In sufficiently high concentrations, CO can kill in minutes.
The most susceptible people to CO poisoning are unborn babies, small children, pregnant women, senior citizens, and
people with cardiovascular or respiratory problems. Consequently, it is prudent to check the CO monitor regularly for

muscular twitching, throbbing in the temples, incoherent thinking and speech, weakness, sleepiness, and intense

Carbon Monoxide/LP Gas Detector
To protect the driver and other occupants of the motor home, the Allegro is
equipped with a carbon monoxide/LP gas detector (Figure 4-16). Carbon
monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which, when breathed,
bonds to the hemoglobin in the red blood cells and, thus, drastically reduces or
blocks the transfer of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. In sufficient
concentrations, CO kills by asphyxiation. In lesser amounts, CO makes the
victim groggy, lethargic, and unable to think clearly or quickly.
CO is one of the products of combustion for many materials including
petroleum-based products (e.g., gasoline, diesel fuel, propane, butane; among
others). Since many of the appliances and the engines associated with the
