Bought one of the Safe T Alert dual LP / CO monitors. I am trying to find a good location to install it but my creative juices ran out. I looked for photos but can't see anyone with pics.

So...where have they been installed?

I haven;t installed mine yet. a little different than yours.
I was thinking bout mounting mine in the door for the compressor. !2v right there so easy for that.
I have to make a hole to mount mine and have been holding off on that.

Travis,
What do the instructions say on the package? Remember that propane (LP) is heavier than Air and sensor should be located close to the floor or a compromise between the 2 alarm items.

Ya it needs to be low. At least 4" from floor but not more than 20". And it says not within 12" of opening windows/doors.

An ideal spot would be at the bottom of the side cupboard/vacuum door...technically it is 12" from the door...but it is still right by it. I was thinking to cheat and put it under the couch..but it might push that 4"...
