Travel Trailer Safety Gear Guide

If you love exploring the wonderful outdoors in your travel trailer, you know that preparation is key to having a safe and enjoyable trip. While you might be diligent about keeping up with regular maintenance and repairs, there's one thing you shouldn't overlook – your travel trailer safety gear. We’ve put together this brief guide to help you get started. So, let's take a look at the most important items you should have in your travel trailer safety kit.

First-Aid Kit

It's essential to have a fully stocked first-aid kit on hand, and ideally, you should have a few throughout your travel trailer. Your kit should include everything you need to treat minor injuries, from cuts and bruises to aches and allergies. Don't forget to check the expiration dates on all medications and replace them as needed.

Fire Safety Equipment

Fires are a serious hazard, especially if you plan on having a campfire outside your travel trailer. Make sure you have plenty of fire extinguishers on hand. Keep one in the kitchen, one near the door, and another in a storage compartment outside the vehicle. Each room should also have a functioning smoke detector that’s ready to alert you in case of a fire.

Radio

What if you're caught in bad weather or experience a power outage? That's where a hand-crank radio comes in handy. These handy devices can keep you informed even when the power is down. And if that's not an option, make sure you have a battery-powered radio and plenty of fully charged batteries on hand.

Signaling Devices

If you're heading out to a remote area or enjoy hiking, you’ll want to have signaling devices in case of an emergency. Signal flares, flashlights, and blankets are all excellent options to consider.

These are some of the most important items to include in your travel trailer safety gear. If you're still in search of the perfect travel trailer, feel free to check out our selection at Rte. 125 RV & Marine in Rochester, NH. We welcome all our customers in Massachusetts and Maine.
