INTRODUCTION
SAFETY
This handbook contains the information that
you will require for your safe enjoyment of
your motorhome. All the information
contained herein is important. However, to
draw your attention to specific items we have
prefixed them with the following symbols to
indicate a warning, caution or note
respectively.
WARNINGS are items that if ignored
can cause the user(s) physical harm
Cautions are items that if ignored can
result in damage to the motorhome
Notes are reminders that should be
heeded.
To ensure all the occupants of your
motorhome enjoy a safe and relaxed
environment please observe the
following:
• Ensure all occupants are aware of their
escape routes in an emergency
• Always keep escape routes and exit
points clear from obstruction and debris
• Provide one dry powder fire extinguisher
of an approved type or complying with
ISO 7165 of at least 1Kg capacity by the
main door, and a fire blanket within easy
reach of the cooker. Familiarise yourself
with your fire extinguisher and the local
fire precaution arrangements.
• Ensure the motorhome is serviced and
maintained in accordance with this
handbook as well as the base vehicle
handbook. The recommendation of
manufacturers regarding their appliances
must also be followed. Also, ensure that
any replacement parts for an appliance
conform to the appliance manufacturer’s
specifications and should be fitted by
them or an authorised agent.
• Your motorhome is a compact living
environment and appliances should be
treated in the same way as those in the
home to prevent accidental burning and
scalding. Keep young children away from
hot surfaces.
• Never allow anyone without a valid
driving licence to drive your motorhome.
