Time to replace my carbon monoxide detector. Can not find the Costar brand that came with the RV. Was wondering if there is a preference these days. This is the one that is mounted on the ceiling in bedroom !
Thanks

The Atwood version is offered, however it is wall mount. If you look closely at it you will see that it looks just like the Kidde version that is half the cost for what looks like an identical detector.

On our Canyon Star we replaced our Costar with the wall mount Kidde (mounted on the wall instead of the ceiling) and put a second smoke detector in the place of the Costar.

BTW the older version of the Kidde was what Mac the Fire Guy offered for many years.

Don't really want a wall mount, was hoping to use the same mount of the original, but I like the idea of how you did yours !

I just went to lowes and got one I think it was a Kidde brand. It is not RV specific just a battery operated type. I think it is good for 10 years battery life.
