VENTILATION
General
Fixed ventilation is a statutory requirement in
all campervans. These ventilation apertures
are positioned at both high and low level and
for your safety should not be obstructed, even
partially.
Low Level Ventilation
Under each appliance, each gas tap and each
gas connection is a fixed ventilation aperture,
of a size commensurate with the rating of the
appliance itself. It is either gauze covered or
incorporates a fixed plastic vent. This should
be checked regularly to see that it has not
become blocked.
Additional vents are provided in the
campervan door step well. The vents are
intended to allow air flow through the vehicle
while cooking and they must not be blocked.
High Level Ventilation
High level ventilation is provided by the roof
vents. The ventilation provided has been
carefully calculated and relates to the rating of
the appliances in the vehicle. Roof vents must
not be covered with anything that may limit or
affect the ventilation they provide.
Maintenance
Under no circumstances should any fixed
ventilation aperture be blocked, covered,
either partially or fully, or be modified in any
manner whatsoever. They should be checked
at least annually for damage or blockage.
Screens and/or grilles should be kept clean
and free from dust. See diagram of upper/
lower ventilation.
All ventilation complies with BS EN 721 and
vents should not be obstructed in any manner
as this could lead to insufficient fresh air. In
this case the confined atmosphere becomes
depleted of oxygen which leads to the
formation of the highly poisonous gas ‘carbon
monoxide’. Carbon monoxide is odourless,
colourless and tasteless and will rapidly cause
unconsciousness and death with little or no
warning prior to collapse.
SECTION
THERE IS NO DANGER WHEN ADEQUATE
VENTILATION IS PROVIDED.
When you are cooking, it is essential to
provide additional ventilation such as opening
windows near the grill and hob.
Flue Installations
All flue installations should be inspected once
a year throughout their length for corrosion.
Flues should be replaced if any sign
of perforation is found. Ensure that the
replacement is of an approved type.
WARNING: Never allow modification
of LPG systems and appliances
except by qualified persons.
