Speaking of fire extinguishers, some of the newer members may have never considered their fire extinguishers.  I know of a couple that lost a Mobile Suites fifth wheel when a fire began from a bad brake or bearing (can't remember which for sure).  He almost had the fire under control when his "standard" fire extinguisher ran out.  Since he only had the one extinguisher, they lost the trailer to the fire.

After hearing of that, some have considered having as many as five extinguishers with their fifth wheel rigs; at least one inside, one on each side of the basement in the RV, and one on each side of the tow vehicle in the bed.

I don't know if Mac is still doing shows, as his website seems to be out of date, but here is a link to an article about fire extinguishers for RV's.

Thanks Howard...I checked mine and have First Alert. I will say since I work for a national Fire Alarm and Sprinkler company that the plastic heads are generally considered unsafe by our techs. We won't sell customers anything that doesn't have a metal head because there have been so many issues. Granted that is for commercial use, but in general if you have a choice a metal head is much better.
