Emergency Egress Window
The Emergency Egress Window ( or exit window) is your
secondary 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
• To prevent the seals from sticking, OPEN and CLOSE
your Emergency Egress Window ( s ) each trip.
• During transit the Egress Window ( s ) must be locked.
An emergency
egress window
is identified with
an “EXIT” label.
DO NOT remove this label
from the window:
