To ensure safety in your camper's kitchen, it's essential to install a gas alarm that can promptly detect any leaks of combustible gases such as LPG, methane, or butane. These devices constantly monitor the environment and activate an audible and visual alarm if gas is detected, allowing you to intervene promptly to prevent accidents.

Types of Gas Detectors

Combustible Gas Detectors (LPG, Methane, Butane): Designed to locate leaks of gases commonly used in camper cooking systems.

Combined Detectors: Some devices are capable of detecting both combustible and narcotic gases.

Features to Consider

Sensitivity and Accuracy: A good detector must be highly sensitive to detect even minimal gas concentrations.

Audible and Visual Alarm: It is important that the device emits clear, audible signals to immediately alert the camper's occupants.

Ease of Installation: Opt for models that can be easily installed in the camper kitchen, preferably on the wall and close to gas sources.

Power supply: Check whether the detector is battery operated or requires a connection to the camper's electrical network.

Installation and Maintenance

Placement: Install the detector near gas points of use, such as stoves or cylinders, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Regular Tests: Run periodic tests to ensure your device is working properly.

Replacement: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding sensor life and replace the device when necessary.
