RV FEATURE
CARRY A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND BLANKET
Of all the minor situations that can quickly escalate into a catastrophe , fire is probably at the top of the list . Even a small electrical fault in a caravan can result in a fire that can get out of control very quickly .
Fortunately , most caravans will have a small fire extinguisher fitted in a convenient spot . It is important you know where it is , ensure it is charged and that you know how to use it effectively . In addition , having a fire blanket in the kitchen area of your RV or outside near the barbecue means you can deal with grease fires as soon as they happen . Ensuring your RV is fitted with working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms will add another layer of safety .
