Safety Gear For Your RV

If you own an RV, you know that you have to be responsible with it, especially while you’re out on the road. While no one wants to think about experiencing an emergency during their fun camping trip, you still need to consider the potential for emergency situations and plan for them accordingly. This planning can even give you peace of mind so that you can relax on your trip, knowing that you can handle anything the world throws at you. Here are the best pieces of safety gear to keep on hand.

Fire Safety

Keep at least two fire extinguishers in your RV and make sure they’re always up to date. One should be near the kitchen, where most fires start due to cooking, and one should be in the bedroom. If your RV has an outside storage compartment, it’s not a bad idea to stash a third extinguisher here, to help address a campfire that jumps out of its bounds.

Surge Protector

RV campground power supplies are notoriously unreliable and blackouts or brownouts can happen often. To avoid these sudden outages doing damage to your electronics, install a surge protector on your RV that can help modulate the power to keep you safe.

First Aid

Medical issues can arise at any time, so it’s important to have the items to address them, especially since you may be quite far from a doctor or hospital when you’re traveling. Stock a first-aid kit with bandages, ointments, wraps, tourniquets, tweezers, nail clippers, painkillers, aloe vera, calamine lotion, sunscreen, bug spray, splints, and anything else you think you might need.
