6 SAFETY EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Triple E has made every effort to design the vehicle to promote safe driving, use and occupancy. In
addition, it has several pieces of safety equipment that the drivers and users should be aware of and
trained it their use. Review these instructions with all new people prior to using the motorhome.
6.1 FIRE PREVENTION
Fires can be started in a variety of ways with your vehicle including but not limited to careless smoking,
malfunction of appliances or equipment, flammable material on hot surfaces, etc. Fires are best pre-
vented rather than put out. Prevent but anticipate what to do if they occur. Review the following sections
with everyone on a regular basis.
6.1.1
FIRE SAFETY TIPS
1.
Establish and maintain good housekeeping
practices. Never allow combustible materials
to accumulate. Make sure you store flamma-
ble liquids in approved containers in a well-
ventilated space.
2.
Make sure you have charged fire extinguishers
readily accessible.
3.
Avoid using flammable products in the
motorhome.
4.
Never smoke in bed or when relaxing on the
couch.
5.
Do not overload electrical outlets.
6.
Do not leave cooking food unattended.
7.
Keep children away from electrical outlets and
LP gas controls.
8.
Never use matches to check for LP gas leaks.
If there is a fire, get everyone out of the
motorhome. If possible, use your fire extin-
guisher. Close all LP gas valves if possible.
Call the fire department and stay a safe
distance away from your unit. Do not re-enter
your motorhome until the fire officials declare
that its safe to do so.
9.
Formulate a plan for escape from the vehicle
should an emergency arise. It is particularly
important that the escape plan be rehearsed
with everyone, especially children, who will be
travelling in or using the motorhome.
