Great thread, guys. I'm not OTR but still drive a big ole' Pete. Worthwhile investment for ALL of us that idle for whatever reasons and / or hours.

Dang, I just shut down, it's 98 degrees outside and my a.c. is blowing nice and cold.
Now I'm afraid to close my eyes because I don't have CO2 detector. -
Or wake up dead.....but you can run your ac on recirculate and it wont bring in outside air.

Just some added technical information.
I touched base with a Chemical Engineer friend of mine and this is the info he offers.
"CO and CO2 are both heavier than air, so you want the detector low. If you have a fair amount of air circulation in the cab and the circulatuon is constant, the height is less critical. But if there are times when the air in the cab is still, incoming CO2 is going to tend to settle and then build from the floor upward."
Something to think about when selecting a spot. -
Most CO detectors are battery powered. I have rechargeable batteries in mine and charge the every couple months.
G13Tomcat and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.
