RV FEATURE
This article wasn’ t game-changing in any particular way, but it resonated with me because this couple made a simple mistake that any one of us who weren’ t educated about the dangers of carbon monoxide could have made – all in an effort to keep warm.
So let their experience be a warning to all of us. Remember: caravans are confined, enclosed spaces. Ensure your van is fitted with a heater designed for the job. Never use your stove as a heater – it could literally kill you. And if yours isn’ t fitted with a carbon monoxide detector, get one before your next trip. They aren’ t expensive, and it could save your life.
