Emergency Exit
Windows
NOTE: Our model does not have any, since we have two exit doors.
The red handles and exit label identify emergency Exit Windows.
Read and understand these
instructions before you need to use them.
The emergency exit windows provide an escape route
in case the travel trailer must be evacuated under emergency conditions.
¾
Pull the red handle and remove the screen, or;
¾
Lift the red latch to release the window and slide it completely open
When parked be sure the exit window is not blocked by trees or other obstacles.
NOTE: When we park for the night, we always have the handrails out at both doors, so that we
would not be blocked from a quick exit in an emergency.
Carbon Monoxide Detector
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, which can be fatal if a high
concentration builds up in a sealed area over a period of time. Carbon monoxide is a by-product
of burning fuel, and is found in high concentrations in exhaust from gas burning engines. A
water heater or a furnace operating improperly can also produce carbon monoxide. Under
normal conditions your coach should be free of CO at any given time. Due to the safety hazards
of CO, each Bigfoot Travel trailer is equipped with a CO detector.
Carefully read the instructions included with your CO detector to ensure proper use and
maintenance. Most CO detectors require only occasional dusting and weekly testing. DO NOT
use any type of cleaner when dusting your CO detector. Doing so may render the unit useless
without warning.
Carbon monoxide is often confused with illness such as “flu like symptoms”; tight feeling across
the forehead, headache, chest tightness, nausea, vertigo, and general malaise. Such symptoms
should be discussed with all vehicle occupants. RV certified CO detectors will sound an alarm if
100 PPM (parts per million) of CO is present within 90 minutes. 50 PPM is allowed in a work
place for up to 8 hours. Cigarette smoke contains about 5 PPM CO.
If your CO alarms sounds, exit the vehicle immediately. After exiting the vehicle, take a head
count and make sure everyone is accounted for. Air out the vehicle and check again to ensure
that the alarm came from the CO detector, as your vehicle is also equipped with a smoke detector
and LP gas detector. Following the instructions included with your CO detector is
recommended.
