Awning Space LPG Appliance Exhaust
No danger is caused if the LPG exhaust from
the refrigerator vents into an enclosed awning.
If totally enclosed, space heaters may produce
enough exhaust fumes to pollute an enclosed
awning to levels of discomfort.
In extreme cases carbon monoxide could build
up to reach dangerous levels. You are advised
to allow some additional ventilation when such
appliances are in use.
Ventilation
Low level ventilation is provided via cut out in the
furniture. High level ventilation is provided by sky
lights located in the roof of your vehicle.
All ventilation complies with European Standards
and vents should not be obstructed in any way as
this could lead to insufficient fresh air.
If this occurs then the confined atmosphere can
become deficient in oxygen which can lead to
a build up of the highly dangerous gas carbon
monoxide (Co). Carbon monoxide is colourless,
odourless and tasteless and if allowed to build up
will rapidly cause unconsciousness, and even death.
There is no danger providing all ventilation is not
blocked in any way and all meshes are regularly
cleaned using a vacuum cleaner.
Pop Top Models:
Please ensure that when the vehicle is used for
habitation purposes the pop top roof is elevated
and the ventilation slot is open.
Roof Mounted Flue Installations
All flue installations should be inspected for corrosion
once a year throughout their length. If any sign of
perforation is detected, the flue should be replaced.
Ensure the replacement flue is of the correct type
and that it is installed by an
approved engineer.
Combustible Materials
Care should be taken when storing any combustible
materials near any source of heat (e.g. space
heater) as these surfaces can become very hot
during use and any guards or grills may not give
full protection, particularly to the young or elderly.
Portable Heaters
Never use portable cooking or heating appliances
other than electric heaters that are not of the direct
radiant type, to heat your vehicle as it can be a fire
and asphyxiation hazard.
Under no circumstances should a cooking appliance
be used for heating the vehicle.
Warning Notice: Portable or open flame heating
equipment should not be used. If you have such
equipment on board, consider very carefully
whether the risks are worth it.
Please note that internal socket outlets should
only be used with dedicated appliances.
No appliance should be used outside the
Motorhome whilst connected to an
internal socket.
Fire And Safety Precautions
In Case Of Fire
Please read all warning notices inside your
Motorhome advising you on fire prevention,
ventilation and what to do in the event of a fire.
If a fire should develop in your vehicle please
observe the following;
• Get everybody out of the Motorhome as
quickly as possible.
• Call the fire brigade.
• Turn off the gas bottle isolation valve if safe
to do so.
• If possible and safe to do so, remove the gas
cylinders and place some distance away from
the vehicle.
• If it is an electrical fire, always turn off the supply
as quickly as possible.
• Only tackle the fire only if you deem it safe
to do so.
Fire Extinguisher
Your vehicle is fitted with a fire extinguisher for
use in the event of an emergency.
The location of the fire extinguisher will vary
from model to model so it is important that you
familiarise yourself with its location before using
your vehicle for the first time.
Please refer to the instructions printed on the
actual extinguisher for guidance as to the correct
use of the unit, and the maintenance schedule
that should be adhered to.
Please ensure that you are confident as to the
location and operation of the fire extinguisher
before using the vehicle for the first time.
