Default Wood stove in a trailer

Friend of mine might put a wood stove in his trailer. He's considering
safety factors, and what to do in case of fire.

Years ago, I considered it. Check with my insurance agent. The increased
insurance cost would have wiped out any heat savings.

As to fire protection. I've heard of folks put a wye on the laundry cold
faucet, and hang a garden hose in the laundry room. I figure with a
trailer fire, the steps are
1) get everyone out,
2) call fire dept, and
3) you have about thirty seconds to put out the fire before you're dead
in there.

Anyone else have experience to share?


Explosive bolts to eject the whole back wall of the trailer allowing you
to roll out of the trailer no matter where you are. Of course, I'm
thinking outside the box. ^_^
