Fire Extinguisher Alert!
Upgrade your fire extinguishers today...that small 10BC extinguisher that came in your RV, is too Small & will NOT PUT OUT a Class A fire!
If you had a cooking fire on the stove involving grease (Class B), your OEM small extinguisher might put the fire out if you get to it very quickly...however, if delayed and the fire spread to your walls, furniture, curtains, etc. (Class A), your OEM extinguisher WILL NOT put out the fire!
You need at least a large A:B:C class extinguisher...available at Home Depot and Lowes building stores as well as Wal-Mart.
Home Depot

[Note - I do not work for, or have any financial interest in Home Depot or any fire extinguisher company]

911 Emergency Information
If you had a medical emergency and called 911 on your cell phone...do you know where you are?
In a panic, could you tell the 911 operator your exact location, address and site number?
You need an emergency info form posted in a prominent, easy-to-find location, like on your refrigerator door, etc.
Here is a MS Word.doc with a form you can print out or use as an example to make your own.

Emergency Contact Information
In addition, you should consider carrying a slip of Emergency Contact info in your wallet or purse while you are traveling in your rig or locally in your car. In case of an accident your drivers license will probably be out of state, but your Emergency Contact info will have family names and phone numbers authorities can contact if needed.
