Because preparation is an important part of safety, Van’s Aircraft is recommending all RVs carry an Emergency Egress Hammer. (One is available on the Van’s webstore.) It’s 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.
Please read the entire Service Bulletin 00079 for more detail.
