Occupant Safety
Disposal
Please check the local laws BEFORE disposing of your used
(non-refillable) dry chemical fire extinguisher. Contact your
local fire, sanitation or environmental protection department
for rules on disposal.
Emergency Egress Window
The Emergency Egress Window ( or exit window) is your sec-
ondary exit, if the RV's entrance door becomes blocked or
unavailable. All egress windows are marked with an
EXIT
label
( right ) and have red handles or levers. Depending upon the
window type, an egress window may be a large section or an
entire window. Learn and practice how to open and operate
the egress window before an emergency occurs:
• When pulling into your campsite, make sure the egress
windows are not blocked by trees or other obstacles.
• Also check that below each egress window the ground
is solid and the escape path is clear.
• Review the egress window locations and how to operate
them with all people staying in the RV.
• Plan escape routes from the front and rear of the RV.
• Decide who will exit through the emergency escape
windows first, and in what position.
• Place a blanket or heavy coat over the window frame
to cushion the exit.
• If there is a fire, the last person to exit the RV should
be prepared to assist those in front.
• Arrange for a meeting place safely away from the RV.
Maintenance
Open and close your egress window(s) each trip to prevent
the seals from sticking. The egress window(s) must be locked
during transit.
An emergency
egress window
is identified with
an "EXIT" label.
Do not remove this label
from the window.
