8 SAFETY EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Triple E has made every effort to design the trailer to promote safe travel, use and occupancy. In addition,
it has several pieces of safety equipment that the users should be aware of and trained it their use. Review
these instructions with all new people prior to using the trailer.
8.1 FIRE PREVENTION
Fires can be started in a variety of ways including but not limited to careless smoking, malfunction of
appliances or equipment, flammable 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.
8.1.1 FIRE SAFETY TIPS
1. Establish and maintain good housekeeping
practices. Never allow combustible materials to
accumulate. Make sure you store flammable
liquids in approved containers in a well-venti-
lated space.
2. 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
using the trailer.
3. Make sure you have charged fire extinguishers
readily accessible.
4. Avoid using flammable products in the trailer.
5. Never smoke in bed or when relaxing on the
couch.
6. Do not overload electrical outlets.
7. Do not leave cooking food unattended.
8. Keep children away from electrical outlets and
LP gas controls.
9. Never use matches to check for LP gas leaks.
10. If there is a fire, get everyone out of the trailer.
If possible, use your fire extinguisher. Close all
LP gas valves if possible. Call the fire depart-
ment and stay a safe distance away from your
unit. Do not re-enter your trailer until the fire
officials declare that its safe to do so.
