Because preparation is an important part of safety, Van\u2019s Aircraft is recommending all RVs carry an Emergency Egress Hammer. (One is available on the Van\u2019s webstore<\/a>.) It\u2019s important to note that egress hammers designed for automobiles may not be compatible with the aircraft use, since spring-loaded plungers designed to break glass are not effective on the plexiglass used in aircraft windows and canopies. The proper tool will have a hammer heavy enough to break through plexiglass to aid emergency egress.<\/p>\n
