Question Marking the basement door that contains the Fire Extinguisher?

[Joe Hogan]

Thinking about putting a label on the basement door where the fire extinguisher is located. Is this just inviting trouble or is it useful information....? BTW I leave that door unlocked when stopped or camping...

Wow! @Joe Goodxrvn This is a good point. Maybe the idea should be brought up to Newmar, a door for the fire extinguisher that has no lock.

Keeping the basement door unlocked makes the fire extinguisher readily accessible, if needed, and saves the door and lock from damage of a determined thief ...

Maybe you don’t need a door, maybe just a good clamp that won’t drop the extinguisher on the road, but would still allow you to access it quickly. Then you could easily mount one under the bottom of the coach behind the fiberglass, at the front and rear.

i don’t see much room for additional doors on my coach

Here is the install on my RV

What I am thinking to do is place the label here

Something like this "photoshop"

when traveling I also keep a med kit in this bay but typically move it to my car when in storage.

How will you prevent it from locking? Or will you?

What happened to the fire extinguisher that Newmar mounted just inside your entry door?

I assumed 90% of all RVs were sold with these, or at least everyone I have owned came with them. I carry two additional ones (one in the lower storage and one in toad or tow vehicle) in addition with the ones that came with every RV we have owned.

Still there. For me to gain access to the fire extinguisher in the door way takes time, open the lift, get on , get inside, etc... This one is ready to deploy almost immediately.

I am considering one for the tow and one for the bedroom. Both good ideas.

The basement doors on this RV are manual, turn a key to lock and unlock. No fancy buttons...
