Our caravan does not have any horizontal surfaces capable of mounting a fire alarm on.
Then again, as we do not have one, that is not a problem for us!
The ceiling of the van by the door is usually fairly flat,and as most new vans boast of 6'+ ceiling heights front to rear surely the whole ceiling must be pretty flat?
All the vans we have owned including the current Lunar have had the mute facility you just press the button in the middle and the fire alarm mutes, the length of time has varied from 15 to 30 minutes depending on the make of the alarm.

I don't know why caravan manufacturers install smoke alarms on vertical surfaces when they should be mounted horizontally,unless they have a different type of detector inside them?
You can install them horizontal or vertical - just follow the instructions.
