Emergency preparedness is an important aspect of safe RV traveling. By equipping your camper with the right safety accessories, you can feel prepared for the unexpected! Keep reading for top RV safety accessories.
First Aid Kit
Medical services might be hours away when you’re camping, so it’s important to have a fully stocked first aid kit. Many first aid kits cover some of the basics, meaning they have a few bandages, ibuprofen, and maybe some antibiotic ointment and burn cream.
Additional Health and Medical Supplies
For camping, you’ll probably want to bring along more than the first aid kit supplies. An epinephrine pen is crucial for fighting severe allergic reactions, and some antihistamine will help with less severe reactions. It’s also a good idea to bring along several different types of over-the-counter medication, including anti-nausea and antidiuretics. Cold compresses are a good addition to any first aid kit, too.
Fire Extinguishers
Fires are always a danger around any heat sources and campfires can sometimes overstep their bounds unexpectedly. You should outfit your RV with a few fire extinguishers, one in the kitchen for cooking fires and one in an outer storage compartment that you can grab quickly if your campfire suddenly tries to spread. Depending on how large your camper is, you may want to include a third one in another convenient location, like the main sleeping berth or somewhere it can be quickly accessed in an emergency.
Staying safe when camping in your RV requires a little bit of preparation and planning, but if you invest in the right gear, you’ll increase your odds of staying safe. For more tips or to shop for RVs for sale, visit Collier RV in Rockford and Lake County, Illinois.
