Living With Your Motor Home
• If your RV is damaged by fire, do not move
or live in it until you have had it thoroughly
examined and repaired.
Just as in your home, included below are some
common sense tips to help prevent a fire inci-
dent from occurring.
• Never leave unattended food cooking on
the stove or in the oven.
• Never smoke in bed or leave cigars/ciga-
rettes unattended.
• Keep candles or any open flames away
from curt(lins/fabrics/walls and ceiling.
• Keep matches and igniter devices safely'
stored and away from small children.
• Do not store combustibles inside your RV
(gasoline, charcoal lighter, etc.).
A
WARNING
Do not store or carry Propane containers, or other
flammable liquids inside your recreational vehicle.
A
WARNING
Explosive fuel clouds may be present at fuel filling
stations. Before refueling (either gasoline, diesel
fuel or Propane) be sure to turn off al/ pilot flames
and appliances in your motor home. Turning off
the Propane at the tank
Is
insufficient. Pilotless
appliances may still spark or pilot flames may not
extinguish immediately.

Smoke Detector/Alarm
A battery-powered smoke detector/alarm is
mounted on the ceiling in the living/cooking area
of your motor home. Please read the smoke detec-
tor/alarm operating instructions for details on test-
ing and caring for this important safety device.
Test the smoke detector/alarm after the motor
home has been in storage, before each trip, and
at least once a week during use.
The smoke detector/alarm should never be dis-
abled due to nuisance or false alarm from cook-
ing smoke, a dusty furnace, etc.
Ventilate your motor home with fresh air and
the detector/alarm will shut off. Do not discon-
nect the battery.
Replace the battery once a year or immediately
when the low battery BEEP signal sounds.
If the smoke detector/alarm fails to operate
with new batteries, replace it with a new unit,
available through an authorized Fleetwood
Dealer.
