Fire safety is an important part of owning a motorhome. Make sure that everyone traveling
in the motorhome is familiar with the location of exits, including emergency exit egress
windows, should an emergency arise. The following basic rules of fire prevention can help
eliminate the possibility of a fire:
•
Never store flammable liquids within the motorhome
•
Keep cooking surfaces clean
•
Never clean with a flammable liquid
•
Never leave cooking food unattended
•
Never smoke in bed, and always use an ashtray
•
Never allow children to play with propane gas or electrical equipment
•
Never use an open flame as a flashlight
•
Always repair faulty or damaged wiring and electrical components
•
Never overload electrical circuits
•
Locate and repair propane gas leaks immediately
•
Don't allow rubbish to accumulate
•
Spray fabrics annually with a flame retardant
If a fire does start, make sure to follow these basic rules of safety
1. Evacuate everyone (including pets) from the motorhome immediately!
2. After everyone is clear, check the fire to see if you can attempt to put it out. If it is too
large, or the fire is fuel fed, get clear of the motorhome and have the fire department
handle the emergency.
a. Switch the 120 volts AC main circuit breaker to the OFF position
b. Disconnect the negative battery cable(s) at the auxiliary battery and chassis battery
