There isn’t anything cozier than sitting around a campfire with family and friends. The crackling of the wood, the smell and the colorful flames offer a relaxing atmosphere matched by no other. However like everything it comes with responsibility. Here are a few fire safety tips to keep you and your RV free of any misfortunes. 

1. Dig a small pit away from overhanging branches. (Most parks have campfire pits ready and waiting for you.)
2. Circle the pit with rocks or be sure it already has a metal fire ring.
3. Clear a five-foot area around the pit down to the soil.
4. Keep a bucket of water and a shovel nearby.
5. Stack extra wood upwind and away from the fire.
6. After lighting, do not discard the match until it is cold.
7. Never leave a campfire unattended, not even for a minute.

And don’t forget to protect your RV so its ready for your next campfire. We offer quality US made RV covers for a variety of unit sizes. Visit www.coverquest.com/RV.
