Reporting Safety Defects - SkyLine TRAVEL TRAILER FIFTH WHEEL Owner's Manual

• If your clothing ignites, roll over and over on the ground or the fl oor. Running will
just fan the fl ames. Teach the proper procedure to your children.
• Before opening a door if you suspect fi re in another part of the trailer, feel the inside
of the door with the palm of your hand. If it's hot, don't open it. If smoke is pouring
into the room under the door, stuff bedding or clothing into the crack; and get out
of the trailer quickly. Identify egress windows and familiarize yourself with how to
open all windows in your trailer. You may need to exit from a window if a fi re or
other emergency occurs.
• In smoke, keep low. Gases, smoke, and air heated by fi re rise, and the safest area is
at the fl oor. Cover mouth and nose with a damp cloth, if possible. Don't assume that
clean air in a fi re situation is safe. It could contain carbon monoxide, which, before it
kills you, affects judgment, hampering escape.
FIRE SAFETY REMINDERS
Fire is an unexpected event even with the best of housekeeping, safety features, and fi re
prevention procedures. Remember these helpful hints when faced with a fi re:
• When reporting a fi re, speak calmly, don't panic, and give all the needed information.
• Remember to feel the door before you exit. If it is hot, don't open it. The smoke and
heat may knock you out. Look for another route of escape.
• If the door seems to be cool enough, open the door cautiously, ready to slam it shut if
fl ames should burst in. If the path is clear, then escape.
• Remember to close the door after you — this will slow down the spread of the fi re.
• Never reenter a burning trailer.
• Above all, don't panic.
If you have small children, you should also consider the following
• Make sure children are never left unattended.
• Teach your children how to dial the emergency number "
• Instruct the baby-sitter to follow the evacuation plan and rendezvous point which you
have established for your family if a fi re should occur.
