Travelling with two children in our van (and me being ultra paranoid) meant that one of our first purchases when we got our van was a carbon monoxide detector.
Last weekend we had a very enjoyable weekend in the Yorkshire Dales. We travelled on the Friday evening and used the stove that night (it was not used again). On the Saturday night we cooked on our Cobb and only when the Cobb was cold did we place the base in the back of the van, with the fuel rack and used cobblestone left outside.
At 4.30am on the Sunday morning the carbon monoxide detector went off, Thinking that there was nothing of any risk in the van, we opened the windows and reset the detector. It didn't go off again but needless to say I didn't get back to sleep for worrying. I am now worrying that we are going away next weekend.
We didn't use the heating, apart from to demonstrate it to our curious son for a few minutes on the Saturday afternoon. The alarm was placed on the glass top during the night.
Could it have been a false alarm or could something have set it off and if so, what?
Thanks
