Fire extinguisher

I got two of mine pretty quickly. The other 3 took a couple of months to arrive. Be patient.

I had both of my Kidde fire extinguishers replaced under recall.

I keep one by the entry door where is was originally installed by Itasca.

I mounted the second one beside my bed, where I can reach it on my way to the exit window in the bedroom. There are propane appliances between me and the entry door so I didn't want to depend on that.

We got a recall notice through. in the USPS mail, it didn't make a whole lot of since, and the pictures did'n look like ours. So my wife called Kidde. Ours was not one being recalled, is the reason it didn't look right. Thanks, To Kiddy and Winnabago..

I received my replacement fire extinguisher yesterday.

called on 1/31/18, received replacement on 2/8/18

Kidde replaced an E10 (Canadian unit) with an FC10

The E10 had a red plastic trigger lock that has tabs that kept it from falling out. The FC10 has a metal trigger lock - only held in by the yellow strap for shipping (which I snipped off immediately).

With the extinguisher mounted with the pressure gauge and trigger lock against the wall the trigger lock won't come off or fall out, but it will rattle (metal trigger lock against metal trigger) like the dickens in the MH while going down the road. Leaving on the yellow strap would not make a difference. I'm now kind of liking the plastic trigger lock.

I've been waiting since November for my replacement. Called several times. Always get the "in another two weeks" answer. Finally got a hold of someone actually in the company service dept. so maybe this time.

I heard a story once about a salesman showing a rv to a couple, one of the two asked about the fire extinguisher and the salesman replied " that's the souvenir, in case of a fire grab it on your way out the door, cause that is all its good for in the case of a RV fire "
