Probably, Marty. I should pickup some superconducting magnets, then I
could just "stick" it to the ceiling. 'course I'd have to add a tank
of LN2 to the coach to keep it up there... That could get interesting.

You're thinking of propane sensors. Propane is significantly heavier
than air. I don't know of many coaches with built in CO sensors, but
C3H8 sensors are common. On my PT-40, turning the sensor on/off also
turns the gas on/off, which is a nice safety feature in my opinion.

Ryan,

I put a co2 detector above my bed (center queen). You should be able to use a half inch wood screw with out damaging the metal. If you did not want to put screw holes in the ceiling vinyl you could try velcro, but this would possibly make the vinyl sag...my factory installed gas detector is installed in the base of my dinette.
