Default Smoke Alarm Location

In our 24T, the smoke alarm is located on the ceiling just before entering the bathroom area. It is very close to the stove/ oven combo, which is to the left as you enter the bathroom, and tends to go off any time cooking is being done. I want to relocate it further away and am interested in hearing where yours is located.

Thanks,

Greg, mine's in the same place. And, like yours, it went off virtually any time we cooked in the "kitchen".

But, rather than moving it, I decided to replace it with a "smoke detector" type of alarm rather than the slightly cheaper "ionization type" alarm that was OEM. Ionization detectors are good for fast flare up fires, but they are bad at giving false alarms under all kinds of conditions. The "smoke detection" kind are supposedly better at detecting smoldering, slow growing fires and they are much more suited to being located close to where cooking is performed.

Since I've replaced it, I've only had a false alarm once in a while. I honestly don't know were, in the trailer, it would be better to locate one, so that was my approach. I also replaced all the ionization detectors in our house with the smoke detection kind, due to false alarms from the originals.

- Jack

Thanks,
Greg, in our unit the alarm is near the bathroom, but is not near the stove as yours is, but it still goes off just about every time we cook a meal. When we brew coffee in the morning, it does not go off.
