"GO BAGS" - what's in yours?
We're FT in a MOHO & we don't have one. What type of situations do you prepare for & what's in you Go-Bag? After hearing about several friends who have had RV fires, we're working on our fire box...

I was at an RV rally where the fire department showed us why when they respond to RV fires it's usually too late.
You know that little fire extinguisher that comes with all RV's?
They settle to the bottom so when you need it in an emergency they do NOT work. I most certainly did not know that! We pulled out mine and the fire department discharged it and sure enough it did NOT work. :E
So a little fire that the owner 'could' have put out IF the extinguisher had worked turns into a full blown blaze.
After that little demonstration by the fire department and recommendation to ditch those extinguishers that come with our RV's.
I immediately went out and bought 2 ADULT SIZE fire extinguishers.
One is mounted up front, and one is mounted in the back bedroom
