Your Beacon Fifth Wheel is constructed with safety as the top priority. This fifth wheel
meets or exceeds the safety requirements and suitable codes in effect at the time it is built.
All mandatory safety items are attentively installed to protect you and the tenants of your
RV.

FAMILY SAFETY PLAN

In case of emergency or severe weather conditions, we advise that you develop a Family
Safety Plan. Practice to perfect the safety plan with your entire family, especially young
children.
• Please read and become familiar with the locations of all doors, emergency exits, and all
safety equipment before camping.
• Explain to everyone on the RV what the safety alarm signals represent, and how to evac-
uate the coach in case of an emergency.
• There should be a minimum of one way to exit the coach without having to open a door.
Provide everyone involved with a drawn-out floor plan to find two emergency exits.
• In case of emergency, teach every person to stay low if there is presence of smoke, gases,
or fumes to prevent injury. Also, show everyone how to check for a fire by feeling the
door without opening it.
• You should decide on one meeting place to gather and wait until all family members are
present. The specified meeting place should be a safe distance from your fifth wheel.
• During an emergency, make sure every person knows where to go to call 911 or the fire
department while outside of the RV.
• Every six months, make sure that you are conducting safety drills and examples of evac-
uation to everyone including guests.
• Practice a real fire emergency exit by blindfolding yourself while exiting the RV. During a
fire, the black smoke that is produced makes it impossible to see.
• Make sure an out-of-state relative or friend has updated information for the contact per-
son such as name, address, phone number, and email.
