Safety
As always, safety should be a top priority� Ensure that
you, and everyone traveling with you, can operate the
main and rear door rapidly, without light� Contemplate
other means of escape in case the designated exit is
blocked�
The side windows can be vented to allow fresh air in
and stale air to escape, however, the windows were
not designed as escape windows� Be sure to keep both
doors unblocked for means of escape if necessary�
WARNING
The window operation should be checked before
each trip and the latches lubricated with WD-40® or
an equivalent lubricant every six months.
WARNING
Read the directions on the fire extinguisher
carefully. If you have any doubts as to its
operation, you and your family should practice,
then replace or recharge the extinguisher. Your
local fire department will be able to assist you and
answer any questions.
WARNING
Don’t smoke inside the trailer. Keep matches out of
reach of small children. Don’t clean with flammable
material. Keep flammable material away from open
flame. Always shut off the LPG gas at the tanks
when fueling a tow vehicle.
We have all heard the above warnings many times,
yet the situation or occurrences they discuss are still
among the leading causes of fires.
Safety information concerning the LPG system of your
trailer is located in Section 6 - Exterior of this manual�
