RV Accessories for Safety

Embarking on a road trip in your RV is an exciting adventure filled with endless possibilities. However, ensuring your safety should always be a top priority. Fortunately, there are several accessories available to enhance the safety of your RV, providing peace of mind on your camping trips. Let's explore some essential safety accessories that every RVer should consider.

Fire Safety

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.

You’ll also need smoke alarms. After all, you may not be right there when the first starts. You could be sleeping in the other room or outside sitting at a campfire. Each room needs a smoke detector ready to alert you to danger.

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.

Trailer Brake Controller

As you transport your RV, you use your tow vehicle’s brakes to stop both your truck and your trailer. RVs put a large amount of strain on your tow vehicle’s brakes. One great way to reduce this stress is with a trailer brake control. This upgrade lets you also use your camper’s brakes to stop. This reduces the wear on your truck’s brakes while making your RV easier to control.
