6 SAFETY EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Triple E has made every eort to design the vehicle to promote safe driving, use and occupancy. In addition, it
has several pieces of safety equipment that the drivers and users should be aware of and trained in their use.
Review these instructions with all new people prior to using the motorhome.
6.1 FIRE PREVENTION
Fires can be started in a variety of ways within your vehicle including but not limited to careless smoking, mal-
function of appliances or equipment, ammable material on hot surfaces, etc. Fires are best prevented rather
than put out. Prevent but anticipate what to do if they occur. Review the following sections with everyone on a
regular basis.
6.1.1 FIRE SAFETY TIPS
1. Establish and maintain good housekeeping prac-
tices. Never allow combustible materials to ac-
cumulate. Make sure you store ammable liquids
in approved containers in a well-ventilated space.
2. Make sure you have charged re extinguishers
readily accessible.
3. Avoid using ammable products in the mo-
torhome.
4. Never smoke in bed or when relaxing on the
couch.
5. Do not overload electrical outlets.
6. Do not leave cooking food unattended.
7. Keep children away from electrical outlets and LP
gas controls.
8. Never use matches to check for LP gas leaks. If
there is a re, get everyone out of the motorhome.
If possible, use your re extinguisher. Close all
LP gas valves if possible. Call the re department
and stay a safe distance away from your unit. Do
not re-enter your motorhome until the re of-
cials declare that its safe to do so.
9. Formulate a plan for escape from the vehicle
should an emergency arise. It is particularly
important that the escape plan be rehearsed with
everyone, especially children, who will be travel-
ling in or using the motorhome.
