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.
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 grill, cooker or oven.
Roof-mounted 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.
Connection
Ensure that the gas regulator is correctly
connected to the gas cylinder in gas bottle
compartment and that the hose is tight.
Before turning on the gas supply, ensure that
all gas operated equipment in the motorhome
is turned off.
All gas equipment is supplied through a
central Gas Manifold System which has
individual isolation taps for each appliance
denoted by a symbol (see below).
WARNINGS:
1 Interior outlet sockets must only be
used with original appliances supplied
by manufacturer.
2 No appliance must be used outside
when connected to an internal socket.
3 No additional appliance must be used
inside the motorhome.
