From the OP: Very good escape window comments but a bit off topic. I actually was (am) interested in finding out if readers of this Forum have personal knowledge of or has ever heard or read about someone actually having to use the escape window due to a fire.
There was a real good on scene by a motorist actual video of a fire in an A on the interstate where it showed a family "trying" to get out the escape window posted on the forum a few months ago.
Maybe someone can find the thread and post the link to the video.
IMHO it is the 'distance down' from the window in a Class A that is the problem not opening or using the window.
From OP: I recall that incident. I'm afraid that would be the same situation my wife and I would be in..."trying to get out the window". Due to our size and age, I don't think it would be possible. I wish more manufacturers would put a rear door on MH's as do many manufacturers of TT's. Sure, it would cost more but I, for one, would gladly pay more for a MH where I felt I could exit quickly and easily if needed.
Also if I have guests in my MH the 'first' thing I do is show them the escape window and how to open it. I find it amazing how many owners do not even know there is an escape window in their RV. :(
