Homeowners should remember not to install carbon monoxide detectors directly above or beside fuel-burning appliances, as appliances may emit a small amount of carbon monoxide upon start-up. A detector should not be placed within fifteen feet of heating or cooking appliances or in or near very humid areas such as bathrooms.
As you can see from these instructions
Instruction Manual SF350EN Manual de Instrucciones SF350EN
not all detectors need to be placed 15 feet away .
Taken from the manual, link above.
1. Detectors located in the same room as a fuel-burning appliance
• If the detector is located on the wall it should be located at a height
greater than the height of any door or window but at least 150mm
from the ceiling. If the detector is mounted on the ceiling it should be
at least 300mm from any wall.
• The detector should be at a distance of between 1m and 3m from
the potential source.
• If there is a partition in a room, the detector should be located on
the same side of the partition as the potential source.
• In rooms with sloped ceilings, the detector should be located at
the high side of the room.

i would say not get a co detector , they would more than lightly be treated the same as a smoke alarm either have a flat battery or not one at all
ours is 2 month old and has a 4 year battery back up.anyone who treats them like a smoke alarm is not very responsable.i also check smoke alarm battery once a week and the co alarm.
it doesnt matter what things you have in a caravan to find co , you cant beat geting it serviced correctly ,and you cant beat getting someone who knows what they are doing and talking about , i have just done my acops refresher and its amazing whats changed in the last 5 years ,
ours had a full service including gas checks a couple of months ago
and those who havent been for any form of training want BANNING BY LAW !!!
agree all should be corgi registered

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
