SAFETY
IMPORTANT: Your attention is drawn to the
notice affixed in the caravan advising on fire
prevention, ventilation and what to do in case of
fire.
CHILDREN
Do not leave children alone in the caravan.
Keep potentially dangerous items, e.g.
matches, drugs, etc, out of reach, as at home.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
It is recommended that a 1 kg (2lb) minimum
capacity dry powder fire extinguisher be carried
inside your caravan at all times. A fat pan fire
must not have an extinguisher aimed at it, but
must be smothered with a fire blanket.
IN CASE OF FIRE
1. Get everyone out of the caravan as quickly
as possible using whichever exit is quickest
including windows. Do not stop to collect
any personal items.
2. Raise the alarm. Call the fire brigade.
3. Turn off gas container valve if safe to
do so.
Petrol/Diesel Fumes
The fitting of a tail pipe to your exhaust
will reduce the possibility of fumes
entering your caravan through the front
fixed ventilation points.
SECURITY
VIN
Record your caravan V.I.N. which can be found
stamped on the ‘A’ frame or on one of the eye-
level windows. Make a note of this number in
the space provided at the front of this guide and
make a separate note of the number to keep
safe at home.
CARAVAN THEFT
The theft of a caravan can occur in the most
unlikely circumstances; from a motorway
service area, even from an owner’s driveway.
Secure all windows and doors when your
caravan is unoccupied, even if only for a short
length of time.
ADDITIONAL SECURITY
Consider fitting any device which might deter or
prevent intrusion by thieves. A hitch lock cover
prevents towing of the caravan.
A wheel lock prevents towing of the caravan
and removal of the wheel.
NOTE: Corner steady locking devices are
fitted to some models and owners are advised
to purchase good quality, extended loop
padlocks in order to secure them.
FREE CRIME PREVENTION advice about
securing your caravan, protecting your
valuables, property marking, either at home or
whilst on site, can be obtained from the Crime
Prevention Officer through your local Police
Station.
