Living With Your RV
Smoke Detector
A smoke detector is included in your RV. It is typically located on the ceiling in the living room area.
Read the smoke detector literature provided in your owner information packet and follow all
maintenance recommendations suggested. Your smoke detector is powered by a 9-volt battery. Purchase
an extra battery as a spare to keep in your RV.
Fire Safety Precautions
In addition to instructing occupants on what to do in case of fire, also consider these safety suggestions:
 Hold fire drills periodically. Practice operating the emergency exit windows.
 If you experience a fire while traveling, maintain control of the vehicle until you can safely stop.
Evacuate the tow vehicle as quickly and safely as possible.
 Consider the cause and severity of the fire and risk involved before trying to put it out. If the fire
is major or it is fuel-fed, stand clear of the vehicle and wait for the fire department or other
emergency assistance.
 If your RV is damaged by fire, do not move, or use it until it has been thoroughly inspected and
repaired by your dealership or Outdoors RV service facility. This may also include your
insurance adjuster.
 Never leave unattended food cooking on the stove or in the oven.
 Never smoke in bed or leave cigars/cigarettes unattended.
 Keep candles or any open flames away from curtains, fabrics, walls, and ceiling.
 Do not store combustibles inside your RV (gasoline, charcoal lighter fluid, etc.)
 If your RV has a fabric room divider curtain near cooking appliances, ensure that the curtain is
secured with its retaining strap so that it cannot become accidentally placed near any open flame
such as the kitchen cook top.
 Portable fuel burning equipment, including wood and charcoal grills and stoves must not be
used inside your RV. The use of this equipment inside the RV could cause fire and/or
asphyxiation.
 DO NOT BLOCK or cover emergency egress exit windows. Exit
windows must remain accessible at all times. Be sure all occupants
know which windows are emergency exit and understand how to use
them.
 Test smoke alarm operation after vehicle has been in storage, before
each trip, and at least once per week during use. Failure to do so can
result in death or serious injury.
 SMOKE ALARMS HAVE A LIMITED LIFE. The unit should be
replaced immediately if it is not operating properly. You should
always replace a smoke alarm after 10 years from the date of
purchase. Write the purchase date on the space provided on back of
unit.
