Every year people die from carbon monoxide poisoning in their motorhomes, travel trailers and other RVs. We all like to think that we're smarter than that, but have you made the proper checks to your RVs systems? Do you know about proper generator operation and placement? Are you aware of all the nasty little things that can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning? I try to cover the main things here in this video and to provide some food for thought to help keep you and your loved ones safe during these colder months.

Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If your into being off-grid and boondocking, or doing dispersed camping whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations and 12v refrigeration. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!

Great information. I don't usually get in that cold temps however never know when we may get in wild storm in our travels. I saw another RVer say never sleep with any heat on. I would have wanted to sleep with RV furnace on in cold temps - not after your video information. Also never knew real cold temps could affect the batteries in carbon dioxide detector. Also did not know that a propane detector is installed Low to floor. And my home furnace is propane.. My new RV has a detector at floor level below 2 way fridge. Your videos are so helpful. Thanks

I was at a rally where people were boondocking. My neighbor set his generator on my side with the exhaust pointing at my RV. How inconsiderate! My RV filled with fumes immediately! If I had been napping, I would have died. I went over and pointed out his mistake and he reluctantly move his generator to the front pointing toward the parking for tow vehicles.

Many RV'ers fail to recognize the potential hazards of CO (carbon monoxide) and the fumes from raw fuels emitted from heaters, even those factory installed, so your emphasis on their lethal nature cannot be overstated. I purchased a couple low wattage infrared heaters which my Bluetti AC200 handle during our boondocking excursions; thereby eliminating the need to run the propane heater in our travel trailer. I'll give you an A+ on this one.

Can’t believe it’s that cold, man, if it gets to 20 degrees here in Kentucky we’re like Arctic air is here, lol. I’m in my cargo camper now with my “Buddy” heater on at times to knock off chill. I have camper sit up near the river behind my house. I’m thankful my property borders the river. In fact just watched a big Blue Heron fishing on opposite bank. I have a thought about ventilation safety. My two windows raise vertically and though they are newer they will close by themselves if only a few inches open. Vibrations in the camper like walking or even wind gusts will cause them to drop shut. If that should happen during a time when i am heating and I don’t notice it, it could cause some carbon monoxide danger. (I don’t heat if I’m asleep as a precaution.)So, I always raise windows to proper height and place an object in window sill to stop windows from closing should they try. Good safety talk rick, just wanted to add another possibility with the window. It’s about 48 degrees here. Have a great day 👍🏻😎

This is a very timely reminder for us all. My son works in the oilfields of New Mexico often living in an RV, year-round. Indeed, it is very important to do frequent checks and monitoring of your propane and generator systems. Especially ventilation. But I think your best tip in this video is to try not to sleep with the heating system on if possible. Much safer and I actually sleep better with good blankets. Thanks Rick.

I watched a number of KZbinrs who emphasized proper ventilation just to reduce the likelihood of moisture accumulation. Our 6x10 trailer didn't have factory vents, so I installed two 3" vents--one at the lower right rear side and one at the upper front left side. This allows for modest flow without being "breezy". Of course, we also have a MaxxAir fan and I installed two porthole windows on both sides. Last, but not least, we installed a carbon monoxide alarm.

One time, I set mine on the tailgate and within a few mins the detector went right to 40, 80, ... because a slight wind blew exhaust inside.

Good test and a reminder of how dangerous a generator can be. Yeah, you're safe being plugged in for sure!

All sage advice for sure...It never hurts to rerun it. I watched a Greg Ovens video for surviving a cold night in a stuck, out of gas car. He heated rocks in a fire and placed them on the floor on an insulator. It worked great! So, while camping one cold night I tried placing the stones from my fire on a cookie sheet in my oven with it open. I didn't heat the stones long enough, but it did work. I want to try soapstone next time and heated longer. It sure was a nice dry heat, no condensation, very quiet, and free! We always carry a very warm blanket for those nasty nights. Some folks think if the camper is warm, they can camp.... but don't consider the water pipes will freeze along with containers brought along! Keep your stick on the ice!

The problem with heating rocks in a fire is that the water that is in most rocks will make some of them explode. You need to find rocks that are dry - which is difficult.

I used to experience exploding rocks as a kid along Moses Lake, WA. These were apparently dry and not from the lake shore, but for some reason those rocks were really prone to that and would sure get your attention.

That's right about not using your RV during freezing temperatures. On my last trailers I had heaters that I installed on the tanks themselves, but you needed to be plugged in to use them and they did nothing to keep the pipes from freezing either. We just learned to use the trailer without the luxury of running water.

Agreed you need to be careful choosing the rocks. And not heating them to glowing red! This is one of the reasons I want soapstone. I once worked for a company making soapstone stoves. We had one when I was younger, and it was the best woodstove and radiated heat long after the fire was out.

Great video and timely with the cold settling in. My father and I came close in 1964. There wasn't a lot of info passed around back then about camping and heaters and we were using a Coleman catalytic heater in the camper on my dad's truck. In the middle of the night, dad woke up and said he thought we were sufficating. We were. We had headaches all day.

You and your dad were so lucky! I remember those catalytic heaters and used one in my VW bus but didn't leave it on when I slept, having had a worry wort for a mother who warned me about it. How about this: I personally know of a pilot and two crew members who were sitting in a plane full of cargo and almost suffocated from the dry ice (CO2) in the shipment they were hauling. They were talking and started falling asleep when one of them realized what was happening and opened the door.

Great information! One of the biggest mistakes people make with their diesel heaters is not running the exhaust out the side somewhere, like car exhaust. When installing their heater, go down to your local or big box store and get a four-way metal conduit electric gang box. Making a passway for the exhaust and air beside a square is easy to cut. Seal with 3M fire barrier sealant caulk, the box, and you should be in great shape. Wherever they decide to mount the diesel heater, use the Shaka [ 6 in ] to get the correct airflow distance on the intake side. This is very important; it will keep your Diesel heater from getting too hot and shutting down on you. When priming the fuel line, just before connecting it to the heater, and the easiest way of doing it, but a little messy, is to place your finger at the end of the line. It forces the air to come along with the fuel; once it is there, make the final connection. There are all kinds of ways of doing it, but if you have a Multi vac or priming pump is good too. Make you use a hard nylon line 2mm x 4mm; if it is a short run, then most of the lines you can use with no problem, like the green, blue, or soft white lines. If you have any other questions, I can help. I have installed many diesel heaters and have given many new diesel heaters to people who have needed them. John McK 47 youtube channel is an excellent resource for Diesel heaters. He is the Guru for diesel heaters.
