I could really use your help. I've been getting mixed answers as far as LP/Carbon Monoxide alarms go. Do you recommend having one in a vintage trailer? If so, what kind? I can't seem to find any that are battery powered. Any suggestions/insight would be appreciated. I would especially love to know what brand/model number to get if you think I should get one. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to VTT 1967aladdin!  I'm sure there will be more ideas soon form other members too. IMHO, you can get a parts catalog at your local RV center (one you can take home with you for free, think old style sears catalog LOL "Book -O- Dreams") and they will have a large selection of the proper styles/types/brands detectors and the proper ways/locations to install each. You can also ask them for ideas while you are there for the catalog too. Good Luck and enjoy the site! soup  |

Soup gave you some excellent advice there are many detectors out there BUT they must be installed in the proper manner to work as desired. Some can even be rendered useless by improper installation. Example mounting a smoke detector to close to a ceiling wall junction can cause the sensitivity to be reduced because of air flow patterns.

Walmart sells a CO detector that runs on AA batteries. It's about $25.
Propane detectors are usually not necessary. Propane smells nasty for a reason. JMO
