I have a question. With many owners installing carriers on the backs of a Class B's can the rear doors be opened from the inside in case of a fire, or do you have an emergency exit window in the rear?
I believe Federal law mandates a marked rear exit from a bedroom, if the kitchen is between the bedroom and the other fire exit. If your traveling solo, your choice, but if you carry passengers not having a working rear fire exit might be something to think about.
Even if the rear doors are not blocked make sure the door is unlocked on the inside, so it can be opened in an emergency.
For people buying older units, make sure you have at least one fire extinguisher, and it has been recently certified.
