ALWAYS keep your back to an open exit in case you need to escape quickly when using a fire extinguisher. If the fire
cannot be contained, evacuate immediately before the room is contaminated by smoke.
Most all fire extinguishers operate similarly to each other, but they are produced in various sizes and types.
Disposal
BEFORE dispensing your used fire extinguisher, check the local laws. To locate the law on dispensing, call the local
sanitation, fire or environmental protection department.

During an emergency, if the door suddenly becomes blocked, then you should use the secondary exit called Emer-
gency Egress Window. Every person in the coach should be aware of how to correctly conduct the egress window in
case of an emergency. The egress window might take up more space in the window. Each egress window has a notice-
able sticker with a red handle.
• For safety reasons, when you arrive at the campsite be mindful that the egress window should never be blocked.
• When finding a place to park, monitor your surroundings around the egress window and make sure that the
ground is safe to escape in case of an emergency.
• Make sure that every person on the RV is aware of the operations of the egress window and aware of the informa-
tion given on the label.
• An escape plan should be set using the front and the back.
• Everyone in the coach should be aware of who will exit the egress window first and how they will exit.
• When using the exit window, you should use something to cushion the frame for safety.
• In case of a fire, those who exit the coach last should be able to aid those who have already exited.
• Always have a safe meeting place away from the RV.
Maintenance
During transportation, the emergency window should always be locked in place. To avoid the seal in the window from
sticking, the windows will to be opened frequently.

Smoke alarms are wired to go off once the smoke makes contact with the alarm. The alarms are created for your safe-
ty and everyone involved when used correctly. In your RV, the smoke alarm is placed in the living area on the ceiling.
• It is highly important that all smoke alarms are maintained, located, and installed for correct use.
• Those with loss of hearing or minimal hearing are advised to research equipment to install that will provide visu-
al warnings.
