If the RV is on fire you have SECONDS to get out (more in a bit as to why) the succestion is go out the escape window. there should be one over the bed and likely on on the other side. First person goes out feet first. Lay bedspread over edge of window and drop 2nd person dives into first person's arms GET OUT FAST.
Why Fast.. Much of what goes into making an RV burns TOXIC..
TOXIC means you don't have to inhale much before you are no more.

TV show: Crossing Jordan.. Plane crashed (Everybody dead BEFORE crash)
A battle between a criminal and Law Enforcment (Air Marshall) caused a gun shot to the lead acid battery on a wheelchair.. Acid mixed with carpet. all dead passengers and crew. The plane eventually crashed.
I might add. that type of battery is no longer allowed on flights.. That is also why.
Well that was a bit of Fiction (A TV show) but it illustrates the point.. IN real life burning RV carpet. Upholstery and seats.. NOT GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH.
The idea is that the smoke alarm goes off before there is a raging fire in the camper and you walk out. Everything that burns is basicly toxic.
