Emergency Exits
Every trailer is designed to the Standard for Recreational Vehicles —NFPA 1192, with a minimum of two
exits which are remote from one another. They are a door and a window, which is marked as an exit. Be
sure that these exits are accessible and left free for exit. Be certain that you and your family know the
location of the “exit” window and understand its operation as described on the window label. “Exit”
windows are specially designed to make escape faster and easier in an emergency. Do not place
furniture in front of this window so that it might become blocked. Egress or “Emergency Exit” Windows
are labeled from the factory with the word EXIT. All Egress windows can be distinguished by red
operational handles or levers.
Fire Extinguisher
Each recreational vehicle includes a fire extinguisher, which is located near the main entry door. The fire
extinguishers are rated for Class B (gasoline, grease, and flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical)
fires. Test and operate according to manufacturer instructions.
Propane, Carbon Monoxide Detectors, and Smoke Alarms
Your travel trailer was designed and built to meet all applicable standards in effect on the date of
manufacture for normal recreational use. For your safety a propane detector, carbon monoxide detector
and a smoke detector have been installed in the kitchen/living area.
Since propane is heavier than air, the propane detector has been mounted near the floor. Test the
detector after the trailer has been in storage, before each trip, and once a week during use. Follow the
test procedure recommended in the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
The Propane detector is wired to the 12 volt system of your trailer. It will function properly whenever 12
volt power is available from the tow vehicle through the 7-way power cord, the RV battery, or when the
converter is energized through the 120 volt shoreline. For protection in all circumstances (i.e. dry
camping) a fully charged RV battery must be properly installed.
