When is the last time you checked your smoke detector? A friend's coach had a fire and his smoke dector didn't activate. Some smoke detectors installed by converters may only be battery powered. They will only give you a low battery warning for so long which may have happened when your coach was stored.

On a related note, do you know how to open your fire escape windows? You should know how to in a dark smoke filled environment.

The life of a smoke detector is 10 years. The lifespan of a carbon monoxide detector is 5-7 years.

I installed the first alert micro's in the bus. They have a 10 year battery, are highly annoying when they go off, and are very small!
