I've been following the recent string about heaters used in Vanagons,
Westies, etc.  Just a safety point to remember ... carbon monoxide is heavier
than air, ie, builds from the floor up.  If you're relying on a roof vent to
provide fresh air, fine, but if you're relying on that vent to eliminate the
CO, you'll be breathing it long before it gets to the vent.  Also, if you
have a pet with you and that pet sleeps on the floor, he'll be the first to
go.

I saw one comment about a portable, battery powered CO monitor.  Does anyone
know where these are sold and the $$?
Thanks.
