Not sure is this has popped up before.

Bunnings have a 12v hardwired LPG alarm on their inventory available for order $42

Tip for a young fellow. Apparently gas alarms eat themselves alive, ie deteriorate by function. I put a switch on mine so i can turn it on only when its needed to extend its life

Interesting mine is shut down until we hit the road along with my O2 sensor or whatever it is.... Not for that reason though just because no need for it to run.

Did a Googly on the subject and they seem to reckon 5-7 years in some, less in others, I just test mine every so often like the smoke and CO jobs......mine is now 6 years old... If it keeps the green light it will stay.....well no need to test smoke alarm, its friends with the toast rack.

toaster and smoke detectors going off are like birds chirping in the mornings at caravan parks
