Motorhome and carbon monoxide.?

Q. We have 2 motorhomes. One is outside and one is inside right now. They are both on I'm pretty sure. The huge garage door is open. Is my dad going to die of carbon monoxide poisoning? I'm spool scared. But the door is open do I don't think it can be that bad.


Answer
If the door is open he should be ok. Most motorhomes have carbon monoxide detectors.

Can I get carbon monoxide poisoning from this?

Q. Every time I warm up my car, a lot of smoke builds up inside my garage, it's fairly small =/. Most people have garages that are separated from their actual house, but mine is connected. When I first moved into this house, I noticed there was a hose for your muffler, so the smoke can escape. My roommates removed it because they said it was useless. I keep telling them that it`s dangerous to run a car inside the garage without it, but they never believe me. If I am right what should I do? Should I air out my entire house? Or, should I call poison control?

I really need some reassurance on this, and I'd really appreciate your answers.

Thanks.


Answer
Your garage door should be open when a car is running. Very simple solution.
The hose was there because it served a vital purpose~ it was to be connected to the tailpipe so that all exhaust fumes exited the garage to eliminate the chance of carbon monoxide poisoning. You cannot see or smell carbon monoxide; it is a silent killer. If you do not have carbon monoxide detectors in the garage or house, they can be purchased at a hardware store such as Lowe's or Home Depot or at places like Target and WalMart. If you feel you may be at risk, see a doctor. The earliest symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning is a dull headache.
