You don't have to believe me, again I don't care what you do. RIVA has nothing to do with the Federal Fire Regulations for RV's.
I will repeat this for other new RV Class B owners.
NFPA requires a fire extinguisher in every Class B RV (not camper van) they also require two exits from each room.
I doubt conscientious owners want to put their family, or friends in danger by blocking these exits, and I would expect they would be libel for their actions.
From the RIVA web site.
Fire & Life Safety Requirements as specified in NFPA 1192 Standard for RVs.
Interior finish flame spread limitations are required.
Minimum exit facilities providing unobstructed travel to the outside of the vehicle must be available.
Smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, CO detectors and LP-Gas detectors are mandate based on applicable criteria.
Here is an example, Rt built the 200 with no rear doors, so they had to install an emergency escape window out the back.
Davydd has it right, he always makes sure he can open the rear doors by keeping his
carrier swung open.
