Check seat bases for signs of damage and ensure
fixings are secure. Make up the beds according
to the manufacturer’s instructions and check for
rigidity and safety.
Curtains, Blinds and Nets
Check that the tracks are secure and without
movement. Check that the curtains draw freely
without snagging. Check the operation of the
blinds and/or nets. Check the fly screens in
the skylights and air vents.
Cab Seats
Where cab seats form part of the living area
and/or bed layout, check that they are attached
securely. Make sure that the seat slides, swivels
and seat backs operate smoothly and easily.
Fire Extinguisher
Check the condition and the expiry date.
If the date has expired or the extinguisher
is partly exhausted, replace.
8. Gas Systems
Cylinders and Regulators
Check the compatibility of cylinders and regulators.
Ensure that your regulator controls the gas to the
correct pressure for the type of cylinder in use.
Check that the air vents and gas drain hole in the
floor of the cylinder compartment are free from
obstruction. Check that the seals on all the internal
doors are in good condition and fit properly.
Hosing and Piping
Check flexible hoses for cracking and condition.
Check the date stamped on them has not passed.
If the expiry date is close or passed, have the
hoses replaced. Check all rigid piping for adequate
support and any damage.
Appliances
As a guide checking the gas appliances can be
summarised as follows:
• Cleaning: Where appropriate, remove cover(s)
to gain access to exchanger. Remove any build
up of fluff or other foreign matter. Re-assemble
and test operation. Clean flame-viewing window.
• Operation of controls: Check all knobs etc
are secure on their spindles and that they
work smoothly. Check that the appliance
works properly by using normal controls
without forcing. If the gas taps are stiff to
operate, ease them open with an approved
LPG grease.
