Or buy one with a 10 year battery life....
Best for RVs to get a combination smoke and CO detector too....

Cheers,

Someone on this forum, a few years ago, mentioned the type of alarm which Peter (above) has just mentioned

I purchased one from Bunnings for about $79, but they must have come down in price, below is a link to one at $59

They have a sticker on the side and you can write the date of purchase, plus the date you have to replace them

Also there is no harm in carrying spare Alkaline batteries, from memory (9 volt for fire alarm), as they have several years shelf life

 And if you have a NSW registered van the smoke detector must be a model that is fitted with a hush button.
