Fire safety is an important part of owning a recreational vehicle. The following basic rules
of fire prevention can reduce the possibility of a fire. Make sure that everyone in your
recreational vehicle is familiar with the location of exits, including the emergency exit
window, which is located at the rear of your travel trailer.
Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations:
• Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed.
• Keep matches or lighters away from children;
• Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;
• Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended;
• Keep portable heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable materials;
• Never store flammable liquids in the recreational vehicle.
• Keep cooking surfaces clean.
• Never allow children to play with the LP gas or electrical equipment.
• Never use an open flame as a flashlight.
• Always repair faulty or damaged wiring and electrical components.
• Locate and repair LP leaks immediately.
• Do not allow rubbish to accumulate.
• Never clean with a flammable liquid.
• Spray fabrics annually with a flame retardant liquid.
If a fire does start, make sure to follow these basic rules of safety.
1. Have everyone evacuate the recreational vehicle as quickly as possible.
2. After everyone is clear, check the fire to see if you can attempt to put it out. If it is large,
(cannot get within 10 feet) or the fire is fuel-fed, get clear of the recreational vehicle
and have the fire department handle the emergency.
3. Make sure you know how to use the fire extinguisher. Read the label on the fire
extinguisher and study the information in this manual to become familiar with the
safe operation and maintenance of the extinguisher.
