After helping hundreds of families plan safer RV trips, I've learned which safety gear actually matters, and which factory equipment needs upgrading immediately. Most RVs come with bare-minimum safety items that won't protect you in real emergencies. This list covers fire safety, tire monitoring, gas detection, electrical protection, and roadside essentials that give you peace of mind on the road. Whether you're renting your first RV, just bought a used trailer, or upgrading your rig after years of travel, these are the non-negotiables.
