Ventilation
Low-level ventilation is provided via the entrance step well. High-level
ventilation is provided by sky lights located in the roof of the 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, the confined atmosphere becomes deficient in oxygen which leads
to the formation of the highly poisonous gas carbon monoxide (CO). CO is
odourless, colourless and tasteless and will rapidly cause unconsciousness
followed by death.
If this happens there is little or no warning prior to collapse.
Note:
There is no danger providing the ventilation is not blocked and any
meshes are cleaned regularly.
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 that the replacement flue is of a correct type and that it
is installed by an approved engineer.
Combustible Materials
Care should be taken when storing any combustible materials near any heat
source (eg. space heater).
Portable Heaters
Never use portable cooking or heating equipment, other than
radiant heaters that are not of the direct radiant type, as it is a fire
and asphyxiation hazard.
Under no circumstances should a cooking appliance be used for
heating the vehicle.
Warning
Please note that internal outlet sockets should only be used with
dedicated appliances.
Please note that no appliance should be used outside the motorhome
if connected to an internal socket.
