^^^Exactly! Ken, you hit the keynote for this thread.
1. Have an emergency plan - make sure anyone who stays in your trailer knows and understands the plan. This can be done in an informal way around a camp fire - or maybe even a more formal "training session" with the kids and grand kids.
2. Have readily available emergency equipment - smoke detectors, gas detectors, fire extinguishers, etc. Think it through ahead of time and get what you need. Place/mount the equipment where you can easily find and access it when half asleep and under stress. Include equipment orientation in your training plan.
3. Maintain your equipment in working condition. Fresh batteries where needed - regular tests of equipment, etc. Keep some written records (if for no other reason that to help remind you of needed maintenance/testing).
Thanks to everyone for the great responses!
