carbon monoxide

Is cockpit CO any more an issue in RV cabins than production airplanes?

I looked at CO monitors for my Archer and finally ended up throwing a battery powered home CO monitor on the passenger side floor. Cheap and effective.
It has read "0" the vast majority of the time except for a reading of 34 while idling one day which I'm sure was just exhaust wafting in with the wind. Went to zero as soon as I began to taxi.

I've used the store bought ones also.

I'm working on a new cabin heater for my -3. When I bought it there is no heat!

So I want to make sure what I do is not pumping carbon monoxide into the cabin.

What all are you guys using cor CO monitors?

It is important to have something since the heat muff could leak. For years I have used those little DOTS that check for CO. I have a detector from Guardian that is connected to my MVP-50 which reads out the level. Works GREAT.....check them out...

I did not realize it could be hooked up to that. Learn something new everyday.

Thanks!
