Awning Tents Safe with Propane and CO Vents on RV Side?

[Michael Dees]

Pippi, very safety concerned about the awning attached room sold by Carefree of Colorado. The Vacation’R specifically. Most motor homes have propane furnace, water heater, and refrigerator vents on passenger side under awning – thus enclosed by room. Call to C of C not satisfactory. Said if vents into room, can not use their product. Said warning in manual. Not really. Says do not block L.P. vents with skirting. Vents usually well above skirting so not blocked. Also says do not use gas powered appliances in enclosure – like a generator – duh, of course. The impression is that vents not blocked good to go. Problem is 3 vents exhaust into the enclosed room. There must be CO even if flame relatively clean. Can you get straight answer from them? Know you were involved with them in some way. Thanks
