Last Nascar deaths some years ago involved the guy`s next door generator leaking CO-2 into a camper that had 3 or 4 people in it sleeping and killed all of them.

I appreciate your concern and you make some valid points. Rest assured my thoughts and installation will be very similar to what I have installed on my boat and have used it for 3 years with no issues. Installed 3 Carbon Monoxide detectors on the boat and will do the same in the FW. As on my boat, the generator is only used to charge the house bank of batteries and for use of 120v appliances as needed. Would never be used at night while sleeping or during the day while napping. Having cruised to Alaska on my boat, circumnavigated Vancouver Island and fished 60 miles offshore I can assure you safety is a primary concern of mine always. 22 years working in underground and open pit coal mines taught me that.
