CO Alarm going off during travel

   Your LP/CO detector should have a light. It should also have a test button. Push that. If it sounds, then it is working. If not, then take it off and see that the wires are connected. If they are, it is likely bad and will need to be replaced. I replaced ours with a flush mount when it started giving the end-of-life signal. 
If yours is used, the prior owner may have cut the wires.

	So it's been 2 months and about 10 days of camping, and the alarm has not gone off again. The only thing I can figure is that it was triggered when we pulled into gas stations. Whatever it was, it has solved itself, evidently. I just checked the monitor and the light is solid green. Pushing the Test button yields the alarm, pushing it again turns it off. So it is working fine and not end of life. We will keep tabs on it.

	Hi guys, My unit seems to be an intertek 45-741. I'm trying to find a replacement alarm unit and with no luck. Is there another fully compatible modelthat I can get that anybody knows about? Thank you! - Elie

	Intertek is a certification company, like UL is. I dont think they are the manufacturer, you're most likely looking at the certification logo. Any RV LPCO monitor should work fine.
