The Danger of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
By: Shane Skinner – RVRepairNOW.com
As I was browsing the internet, I came across this article from The Mirror in the UK. It’s a sad story of a camper who was found dead in his tent, presumably from carbon monoxide poisoning. Apparently he had brought his gas barbeque into his tent at some point during the night to heat it up. He did take it back out of the tent after he and his wife were warm enough, however he still got carbon monoxide poisoning from the lingering fumes. I am attaching the link below if you’d like to read the full story.
This tragedy serves as a reminder for the rest of us regarding camping safety. Carbon monoxide is an invisible, highly dangerous hazard. You should never use any type of heating source that isn’t specifically designed and approved to be used inside a trailer or tent. Also be sure to pack extra blankets and sleeping bags to help you stay warm during cold nights.
Remember, thinking of safety first helps ensure you have a positive experience and return home safely with good memories, rather than tragic stories.
Happy Camping!
Shane
