Thanks for all of the feedback. After the discussion, I've decided to change units. I'm going to add the following:

I can mount it on the folding cabinet in the back bedroom area. I had really wanted a 12 volt powered unit, but can't see a way to mount one at "breathing level" unless I replace one of the overhead lights.

The other problem with my placement is that I've learned that gas appliances (ovens, stoves, and perhaps even the fridge) normally emit some CO when they start up. Possibly causing annoying false alarms.

thanks for the feedback. The reason I want a CO detector (outside of general safety) is that I plan to run a catalytic heater when boondocking. Although I plan to open a vent, I'd like some extra security.

Thanks -- Mike
