FIRE SAFETY
Familiarise yourself with the firefighting equipment at
your camping site.
Powder extinguishers are recommended for fires in
motorhomes .
If the door is obstructed/jammed, openable windows
can be used as emergency exits. Ensure that openable
windows do not get obstructed/jammed.
Ensure that the motorhome’s fire alarm is working.
Change batteries as necessary or once a year. Test the
fire alarm once a week (hold the button down until the
alarm goes off).
In the event of fire:
• Disconnect the 230 V electricity supply.
• Close the gas bottle’s master valve in the gas
bottle locker.
• If possible, move gas bottles to a safe place.
They are pressure vessels that must not be
exposed to overly high temperatures. If the gas
bottles cannot safely be moved, evacuate the
vicinity of the motorhome .
• Tell the firefighters where the gas bottles are.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When replacing batteries, use the correct type of battery
for the motorhome and its equipment. Risk of injury and
overheating.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Ensure that the motorhome is correctly loaded.
Loads must be evenly distributed and secured in the
motorhome.
Heavy loads must be placed low down. Only lightweight
equipment is to be kept in overhead cupboards and similar
storage facilities.
There must be no loose equipment that can harm
passengers .
Check the weight of loads and ensure that the vehicle’s
maximum permitted weight is not exceeded.
Distribute loads in the motorhome so that permitted axle
loads are not exceeded. The permitted load for each axle
is stated on a plate in the engine bay.
Motorhomes with bicycle carriers:
Ensure that the bicycle carrier is secured in the “drive”
position and that the bicycles are correctly attached and
secure.
Before travel:
• close all exterior doors.
• ensure that the motorhome’s steps are retracted.
• ensure that the support legs have been fully wound
up.
• close interior cupboard doors and drawers.
• ensure that the refrigerator door is secured.
BOTTLED GAS
Bottled gas is highly flammable. It must be treated with
respect.
When changing gas bottles, ensure that the area is free
from naked flames and glowing or hot objects that may
ignite the gas.
If any gas appliance is lit, driving into a petrol station is
prohibited. Ensure that the boiler and refrigerator are
turned off. Turning off all gas appliances before driving
into a petrol station is the driver’s responsibility.
In garages, ferries or other enclosed areas, gas
appliances must be turned off and the master valve of
each bottle must be closed.
When the motorhome is not being used, close the mas
-
ter valve of each gas bottle.
When changing gas bottles, use the leak tester to test
the system for leaks. If there is any suspicion of a leak,
contact a professional.
Every year, a professional must test the gas system for
leaks. Repairs to the gas system must be carried out by
a professional.
Only bottled gas of the types stated in this manual (i.e.
standard bottled gas) may be used for the motorhome’s
gas appliances.
INTERIOR FITTINGS
