Funny, I had just ordered one from my friendly neighborhood RV supplier,
but none of the 9V battery ones were ANYWHERE to be found (he called 3
different distributors). I hadn't wanted to hard-wire one to my coach
battery system, but since I have a terminal block installed under the back
bench seat, it shouldn't be too long a wire run.

I'm going to mount it next to the thermostat for my furnace on the inside
wall between the linen closet and the rear bed/cargo area.
