If you’re an avid camper, you know how important preparation is. While maintenance and repairs are high on the priority list, there are other factors to keep in mind as well. Getting the following accessories before your next road trip can help you promote a safer RV adventure!
Fire Extinguishers
In a matter of moments, a stray spark can ignite dangerous flames. A fire could get started from a campfire, electrical issues, or even cooking. You’ll want to be armed and ready to prevent the fire from spreading and destroying your RV. Place one fire extinguisher in the kitchen, one near the door, and one in a storage compartment outside.
Emergency Communications
In the rare case that the power goes out during an emergency, you’ll need a way to stay updated. Cell phones, televisions, and other forms of technology may not function. An emergency radio lets you get important safety information. You can use a battery-powered radio or a hand crank radio.
A First-Aid Kit
You should always have a fully stocked first aid kit readily available in your RV. In fact, it’s a good idea to have a few kits throughout the rig. It should be stocked with supplies for treating minor cuts, burns, bruises, aches, allergies, and so on.
Remember that if someone suffers a major injury, your first aid kit will simply be a means to an end until you can reach a medical professional. On that note, you should make sure you know where the closest hospital is located.
A bit of time may pass without a need for your first aid kit. You might think this means you can skip this step when preparing your RV safety gear, but that’s not the case. Your first-aid kit should be regularly inspected and, as needed, replacing expired supplies with new supplies.
