Thanks mcarter,
Being in Canada I'm paying double, but yes, it's going to be replaced.

Thank you for all the helpful suggestions. Will start with the fuse, then go from there. 
Possibly due for a new one, as I didn't realize they need to be replaced. 
Learn something new everyday! 
Stay safe and healthy down there is the USA

+3 Looks like most of these detectors have a useful life of about 5 years, which could be about right for a 2016 depending on how long the detector sat on the shelf. There's probably is a date code on it as well. Just in case it might help you can try cleaning any dust or crud out of it first. ]]> Fri, 05 Jun 2020 09:48:38 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13608&PID=132034#132034 CO2 Alarm : +2 to TT.

I was going to suggest replacing it.  They all have an expiration date, and I suppose it's possible some of them don't live as long as expected.  Anyway, they are totally unnecessary unless you have a CO problem, in which case they can save your life.  I do not recommend removing it without replacing it.

Might want to pull the 12v fuse and check the voltage across the contacts in the fuse panel with a multimeter.  Possibility of low voltage, just a thought and that fuse in my 2019 179 is fuse #3 which is labled LP, WH, MP, Pump (which stands for LP; LP/CO tester, WH; water heater control circuit, MP; monitor panel (tank levels) and Pump; powers the water pump)  Hope this helps]]> Thu, 04 Jun 2020 19:26:16 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13608&PID=132019#132019 CO2 Alarm : Yes, will vent the Pod.

Hi Mcarter,
No, it's hardwired in.
It will be silent for about an hour then start the annoying beeping.
All fuses are good. 
It's on house power, so not sure of issue.
Just wanted to know if anyone else had this issue. If it continues, it will be removed.

The battery is not hooked up as it's on house power.

That alarm will go off for a low battery for sure. It is also very sensitive to odors, like if you put your sneakers right next to it. I had one go off because I sprayed insect spray.

I have a 2016 RPod. First year with it and still trying to figure things out. Dealer basically gave me a 10  minute rundown...
I'm hooked up to house power, after about an hour with nothing else on, just finished de-winterizing, my CO2 alarm is going off? 
I had to flick off the breaker then eventually just unplugged it. The battery is not hooked up. 
This happened last year on my first solo trip but at that point it was the battery not fully charged.
Can anyone help? Thank you :)
