Carbon Monoxide Meter in the Cab of your truck?

Runs on 110v, works just fine, it's been in my truck for 4 years. Saved my ### once too.

 

Be sure your AC / heat controls are set on circulate and NOT outside air when you take a 10. Especially with these grass burner exhausts. When I’m parked I can smell taste it almost immediately when idling or if engine kicks on when batteries get low. I notice it when I stop at a light. Problem is, if your sleeping you wont notice it.

 

Diesels put out negligible amounts of CO. I've never even got a reading when someone is running an APU by me. I've even had car haulers, with the pipe pointing straight under my sleeper, sneak up on me in the middle of the night... stinks like hell, but no reading.

Gas generators on the other hand, put out out a lot of CO. It's why I don't encourage other people to run them when they ask about mine. I've seen some awfully dumb stuff, like the guy who had one running on the ground under the hood of his truck.

 

I have a smoke detector, but not a CO2 detector. It is not a bad idea to have one.

 

Great Idea ! should be a law especially if your sleeper has no door to escape , fianally a coherent post , besides do they hire felons or do a follicle test.

 

Thanks for the info. I guess whatever it is is better than never waking up, but I still dont want to breath it if I can help it.

 

I have one, get one with a display so you can see it says zero. Alarms don’t sound until like 70. They’re cheap

 

I need to get another one I hate parking in truck stops being surrounded by the grass burners.
All the exhaust stays so low to the ground when there is no wind and the pipes are low so they don't catch a breeze.

There's a night in day difference in sir quality taking a 10 at a truck stop vs taking a 10, at a rest area or customer.

I do my best to park away from other trucks anymore as long as there is a restroom around.
