"The carbon monoxide came from the fridge and that was the only thing we 
had on at the time. The fridge was running on propane. This trailer is only 
3 years old."

This is the information I received from the RV dealer that is working on 
the fridge.
This was not from another exhaust supply beside the trailer.
The problem was the fridge was not sealed right and it was able to vent out 
into the living quarters.
A large company built the living quarters and took some very serious short 
cuts.  The cabinet was not sealed 100% and the carbon dioxide was reburned 
to make carbon monoxide.
I have had problems with the exhaust coming back into the trailer before 
and they figured it was rust falling into the system that caused it and we 
never had the fridge out to check it.
The levels when they checked it this morning was 65 which is fine for a 
short time to be in but we had been in the trailer from about 8 pm to 7:30 
am and that is a long time.
If you are building a trailer maybe spend the money and have it checked or 
get somebody else to do that part.
I'm beginning to think we are not cats with nine lives.
I posted my story so others won't have the same or worse happen to 
them.  Life is to short.
