An excellent point! One outside, one in the kitchen and one in the back bedroom area. As a son of a fire Engineer/Inspector with 33 years of service, trailers, mobile homes and I would assume RV's burn about the same .. VERY QUICKLY. The gasses this type of fire gives off is poisonous.
Let's not forget about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and when was the last time they were checked.
It's also a good idea to allow everybody who rides in the RV to practice, at least once, with a fire extinguisher so they can familiarize themselves with how to pull the pin and deploy it correctly (aim at base of the flames).
Extinguishers should be rated ABC .. meaning it can be used on all types of fires ...
Stay safe everyone.
