No Smoking
There is no smoking inside the van
. If you smoke just outside the van, or under any
awning that is fitted, be careful that the wind does not take your smoke inside. Smoke is
retained by the soft furnishings and leaves a very unpleasant odour for the next non-
smoking user.
Fire Prevention
A red fire extinguisher is stored behind the driver’s seat.
Frying pan or grill fires are probably the greatest fire risk in a
motorhome.
Don’t try to carry a burning pan outside, as the flames may blow
back onto your arms.
Use a wet tea towel or a fire blanket to cover flames entirely.
Switch off heat, and leave covered until cool.
Children – Accompanied at all times
It is not safe to leave children unaccompanied in a motorhome.
Levelling
.
If the van is not level, it causes problems with the fridge operation, drainage from the
shower tray, and sleeping becomes uncomfortable.
If you don’t have a level place to park, you can use
levelling ramps to lift one end (or one side) of the van.
You should drive forward onto the ramps, and make sure
that you firmly apply the handbrake and engage 1
st
gear.
It is helpful for the driver if another person watches as they
drive up the ramps.
If by accident, you drive right off the end of the ramps,
don’t try to go back. The ramps may flip over and become jammed under the bodywork.
Move the ramps and try again in the proper direction.
