Fire Safety
The fire extinguisher is mounted near the main door to the travel trailer in a quick release
bracket. The extinguisher should be visually inspected (extinguisher gauge) and tested at least
monthly. Read the label on the fire extinguisher carefully for detailed instructions regarding
operating and testing procedures. Make sure everyone knows where it is, how to operate it and
what type of fires it is designed to handle.
Prevention is the best form of fire safety. Carefully follow the instructions for the care and
operation of the various appliances in your vehicle (see appropriate sections).
Follow the same basic rules of fire prevention that you use at home:
¾
Avoid the use of flammable solvents inside your travel trailer.
¾
Do not overload the electrical system.
¾
Do not permit children near the LP gas controls or container.
¾
Do not smoke in bed.
¾
Establish good housekeeping practices. Do not allow combustible materials to accumulate.
Be sure that flammable liquids are stored in approved containers in a well-ventilated space.
¾
Have a pre-planned escape route. Be sure everyone knows where the emergency exits are
located and how they operate
Keep fire extinguishers readily available.
Suggestion: have another fire extinguisher in the
bedroom.
¾
Keep smoke detectors serviced according to the Manufacturer’s instructions. These detectors
can provide early warning in the event of fire.
Smoke Detector
All units are equipped with a smoke detector and its operation should be checked on a regular
basis. If it does not check properly, ensure the detector gets serviced or replaced prior to using
the trailer again.
WARNING!
Test smoke alarm operation after trailer has been in storage, before each trip, and at least once
per week during use.
FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
NOTE: IF A FIRE DOES START WITHIN THE UNIT, GET ALL OCCUPANTS OUT
IMMEDIATELY. IF POSSIBLE, CLOSE THE LP GAS SERVICE VALVE. IF
IT IS A SMALL FIRE, USE THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND IF THE FIRE IS
NOT PUT OUT QUICKLY, GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. CONTACT THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT AND MOVE A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE
VEHICLE.
