All - Back a few weeks, there was a lot of discussion on seeing the locks on the emergency exit in the bathroom. OK, I searched this forum for that thread, and I got several hundred hits, but not the article I wanted, this Forum has changed the search parameters. But I was looking for something else and ran across this item, glow in the dark tape. I believe putting this around the locking area of the door in question might help at night or when dark. Here is the link. I am going to get one roll not sure which color yet.

And found this also, I'm getting this one, now use cardboard box, and it's not good. This would be perfect, one for RV, and one for home.

I bought one of these last week and am very happy with the purchase. Having the battery tester as part of the kit is terrific. Like you, we had a cardboard box with a mixture of batteries...not always sure which ones were good or not so good.

Is this the "emergency exit" thread you were looking for?

Yes, how far back was it, I went 10 pages back and could not find it, then did search and got over 500 pages with some reference in it. I wonder if putting my search string in quotes would exclude everything not connected all the words but the whole string? If you know I would appreciate the information. I suspect I should post the link there too, since it would be a good thing for that place in MH.
Thank you for finding it.

I guess I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish. Is this for something in your coach? If concerned about seeing a door lock at night why not just have a small flashlight available?

Renipladlo · 05-26-2019, 12:06 PM

If I have fire in coach, don't want to try to find/fumble for flashlight, want to get the heck out of it fast. The reflective tape highlights the locking mechanism and then I can get out of that door if necessary quick. If you have not read thread on inverter fire, please do,. that is what led up to this thread sort of, but really it's the Emergency Door that peaked everyone's interest. I don't want to leave door unlocked, but want to know which way to turn locks, so I don't have to think because of being stressed out over fire.

Okay, gottcha. I had read that other thread but I guess I just didn't think that any type of reflective tape would help much if you woke up to a smoke filled motorhome. But to each their own, if it makes you feel more secure then go for it.
