Generator Vent

I DO NOT have an answer. BUT, even though I do not even have a generator,
I will be installing a 2nd Carbon Monoxide dector in my 5er. We have 2 in our home. This past weekend, 5 adults died in Clarkesville, TN as they stayed in a rented TT while hosting a charity motorcycle event which drew 2000 bikes.

Seems a generator was placed in a shed behind where they parked the camper. An outdoor compartment on the TT failed to seal and keep fumes from entering. The levels of deadly fumes even sickened 4 people who just entered the unit to see why the 5 now deceased did not show for a meeting.

This is our WAKE UP CALL. Fall is here. Cooler weather means HEAT; propane and electric. Time to check all detectors for proper functioning. Check your lines; propane and cords, etc on portable heaters.
