hi all, can anyone recomend a gas detetor for my motorhome. im going to france and italy with my wife and 3 kids in a few weeks and have read some stories about people getting gassed and robbed! im not sure if im over reacting but with 3 kids in tow it might be better safe than sorry!!! there seems to be some cheapish ones on ebay but some are around £70 so im not sure which to buy, any info would be helpful.

Thank,s Tentz, ive read this before what your telling me! so where do all these stories come from?

regards Jake

ps. it didnt cross my mind about leaving the mh unattended when shopping at supermarkets! its my first mh holiday abroad. ill remember that tho thanks again

Hi Jake as tentz says load of rubbish the gas thing but do take care and keep stuff out of site. Also a cheap but good way to alarm your mh while in it or away is to buy the personal alarm atacks you can get for about a couple of pounds we have them they are hooked on to doors at the bottom so no one can see from outside and hooked on the step well in cab so if anyone opens doors it will pull out cord and set hi pitched alarm off ours also has a flashing light and i can assure you you wont sleep through them.

Hi as others have said, do a google search etc it isn't too long ago that some sort of statement was released from someone in the health service explaining how gassing would be nearly impossible due to different weights of travellers in the MH pets etc how on eartth could someone dispense just the right amounts of gas to make sure that everyone came round etc.

After much reading on the subject I feel the gassing issue is an urban myth.

EDIT

Have found the link for you hope it helps.
