    hello buddymoon,
    Precaution;
    The kitchen fire extinguisher should be within 30 feet of the stove so it can be accessed quickly in an emergency. But it shouldn't be installed in the immediate vicinity of the stove, where smoke and flames could block access.
    You have beautiful home🚐

  • @flamefox8989

    Leanne & Dan. An amazing job done on the van. You guys have really thought everything through. Such good utilisation of space. Also good to see the sustainability elements. Perhaps you now need some Elon Musk satellite Internet connectivity to have net on the go! 😊 Maybe you can think of adding a very loud hooter alarm system to go up in case of any threat and also auto dial emergency services with your location. Enjoy your new home and keep sharing your travel blogs. Tons of love & best wishes 🥂💕👍

    Carbon monoxide is a heavy gas, heavier then air so you might want to keep the detector at a lower height so you won’t suffocate in your sleep. And I love your van! Have a great time van-liveing!

  • @violettehicks9363

    for your safety please check out the proper location for your detector, i believe the carbon monoxide is heavier than air therefore it should be near the floor.
