You will want to prioritize safety when traveling with your RV and, most of all, pay attention to fire safety. An unintentional action or faulty equipment can trigger a fire incident and put you and your fellow campers at risk.

Invest in Safety Equipment
The first thing to do is to get the essential safety equipment for your recreational vehicle. You will want to invest in good-quality smoke alarms and fire extinguishers and install them strategically throughout the camper. Placing them in the kitchen, bedroom, and near the exits can help you reach one in seconds in case of a fire breakout.
Cook With Care
When cooking inside your RV, take all possible measures to ensure your safety and the safety of your passengers.
Keep your kitchen clean and clutter-free, and keep flammable items like paper towels and curtains far from any heat sources. You will also want to turn off your burners and overhead exhaust fan before leaving the kitchen.
Have a Fire Plan in Place
Most importantly, you will want to have a fire safety plan in place before hitting the road. It helps to have two escape routes in the camper, and you will also want to familiarize your passengers with the strategies to follow in case of a fire and the ways to use fire safety equipment.
