I find some of the never cook in a tent advice even with a single gas burner hard to follow, the reason being we have a Pathfinder with oven grill and 3 gas rings, when away my wife insists on a full sunday lunch,and on many occasions have had all of the burners going at the same time,and if it happens to be raining all closed up we have never had any problems or even thought about any.I dont know what others think about cooking in a camper or how it differs from cooking in a tent.

I've read these CO detectors aren't ideal in tents, as they should ideally be situated in warm/dry conditions (as in "inside a normal building!)... a rarity in any tent/similar unit.
Far from an expert, and stand to be corrected, but if it gets someone to just "double check" and do some research, then happy days.
Doesn't affect me, as we don't use gas inside... or haven't as yet!
...Am planning on having the gas cooker in our awning (not tried it yet) but there'll be no ground sheet, and at worst, there'll be a large mesh window either side of it, although I suspect in reality, it will be next to an open door, or even a fully open front.
Can anyone confirm whether these detectors actually do their job in a tent?
