6 SAFETY EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Triple E has made every effort to design the vehicle to promote safe driving, use and occupancy. In addi-
tion, it has several pieces of safety equipment that the drivers and users should be aware of and trained
in 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, fl ammable material on hot surfaces, etc. Fires are best prevent-
ed 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 fl ammable liq-
uids in approved containers in a well-ventilated
space.
2. Make sure you have charged fi re extinguishers
readily accessible.
3. Avoid using fl ammable products in the mo-
torhome.
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 fi re, get everyone out of the mo-
torhome. If possible, use your fi re extinguisher.
Close all LP gas valves if possible. Call the fi re
department and stay a safe distance away from
your unit. Do not re-enter your motorhome until
the fi re offi cials 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
