Topped up in Spain now heating not working?

Where in Spain are you? Dogs do guau! in Spanish. In Catalan they do bup!
No idea what heritage our Bella is then as she doesn't bark like any dog we've heard before, it's more a cross between a duck and a monkey! 😄
 
I fitted a Kidde one with a screen which displays parts per million Co. It shows zero normally but sometimes goes up while cooking and alarms at a reading of 200 if I recall correctly.
I always keep an eye on the screen, Aneta put the grill on instead of the oven and it alarmed last summer 😳👍

This is basically complete BS, as it ignores Brownian motion.

Nitrogen dioxide has a higher rfm than most other elements or compounds in air, and carbon monoxide has a lower RFM than most other elements and compounds in air, but Brownian motion thoroughly mixes them from top to bottom of your motorhome.

Any accumulation of either will ultimately cause fataility, but not for the nonsense stated above.

Get a carbon monoxide and smoke detector in your MH if you haven't already.

Thanks your comment also mentioning smoke detector made me think has the other camper new to us got a smoke detector ?
I know it has a CO2 detector
Its a reminder to check and test it

Same as above, CO (carbon monoxide, poisonous stuff) not CO2 ( carbon dioxide, what you breathe out).

Propane reacts with oxygen to produce CO2 and releasing heat unless there isn't enough oxygen (because it has all been consumed from burning the gas in an enclosed space where the oxygen isn't replaced) then the gas combustion stops at CO.

C3H8 + 4O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O
or
C3H8 + 3.5 O2 = 3CO + 4H20

Sorry just having a blond moment i was meaning Carbon Monoxide
And thankyou for the explanation very informative

No worries. Apologies for being pedantic about this but Process Safety is what I do/ did for work (Personal Safety are the slips trips and falls that kill one person at a time; Process Safety are the rarer events but that kill multiple people at the same time i.e. poisonous leaks, fires, explosions, etc such as Seveso, Deep Water Horizon, Buncefield, Grenfell Tower, etc. due to system failure).

And not forgetting...C-O-C-O-A a hot beverage made with milk...😃😃🤔🇪🇦
I used this too many times training Rookie Firefighters whilst teaching basic chemistry..,👀
