16.01.2022 Caravans and campervans have limited escape options in the event of a fire. You have just a few seconds to get out of a burning caravan, as they are constructed of lightweight and and potentially highly combustible fittings. A working smoke alarm can mean the difference between life and death. Make sure your caravan or motor home has a working smoke alarm to ensure your holiday memories are good ones. If there is a fire, act fast. Get out, stay out, and call Triple Zero (000...).
