I replaced the factory unit with a Kidde KN-COSM-B when it refused to stop beeping. I can only assume it works since it hasn't gone off yet. There's no indication it is or isn't designed for RV use.

I looked my detector up and it specifically stated for RV's due to the wide temperature variations and road vibrations.  The one I have in the pod is $45 dollars from amazon, basic home models around $15.  I guess I'm not sure if this is the case or just a marketing ploy.  It really isn't the cost, more is this info accurate.

Must replace carbon monoxide detector.  What is the difference between the RV Carbon Monoxide detectors which are expensive and a $15.00 home model?
