Molecular weight of CO is 28.01; molecular weight
of air is 28.975... so it looks like the article I read was incorrect in stating
that CO would sink to the bottom of the trailer.
Dynamically, it makes sense that the heated air
(and CO) would rise to the ceiling.
Wait, are we talking about carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide? But I
like the idea of filling your living space with greenhouse gasses and let
global warming do its thing.

I
thought surely somebody would jump on this. The original story I read about
the family of 4 that died at the horse show last week said they *did* have a
roof vent open, but stated that the CO2 doesn't necessarily rise or
something. Moral was, opening a vent is not a guarantee you'll wake up in
the morning. An elderly couple who went to lots of trail rides in the
Chattanooga area died a few years ago in their camper. I'll bet they knew
enough to have a window cracked
too.
