warnInG: provide one dry powder fire
extinguisher of an approved type or
complying with ISo 7165, of at least 1kg
capacity, by the main exterior door and a
fire blanket next to the cooker.
familiarise yourself with the instructions
on your fire extinguisher and the local fire
precaution arrangements.
ventILatIon
All motorhomes comply with BS EN 721. The
ventilation points on your motorhome are fixed
points of ventilation which are required by the
European Standards.
All motorhomes have ventilation at high level
and low level which have been calculated to
suit the individual needs of your motorhome.
High level ventilation is achieved by means of
the roof lights and washroom roof ventilators.
The low level ventilators are positioned
underneath the fridge housing or within the rear
travelling seat.
Under no circumstances must these vents be
blocked or obstructed, even partially.
It is advised that fixed ventilation points are
checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a regular
basis using a small brush and a domestic
vacuum cleaner.
Additional night time ventilation is obtained by
releasing the window catches and placing them
in the second groove. Note the windows are
not sealed from rain in this position.
As the ventilation levels are calculated to suit
each model’s requirements there should be
no modifications made which may result in
reduced ventilation levels.
warnInG: do not obstruct ventilation.
warnInG: never use portable cooking
or heating equipment other than electric
heaters that are not of the direct radiant
type, as it is a fire and asphyxiation hazard.
warnInG: appliances such as cookers
must not be used for heating.
eScape patHS
It is important that you do not block escape
paths to emergency exits with obstructions
or hazards.
cHILdren
Do not leave children alone in the motorhome in
any event. Keep potentially dangerous items out
of reach, as at home eg matches, drugs etc.
SecurIty
motorhome theft
The theft of a motorhome can occur in the
most unlikely circumstances; from a motor-way
service area or even an owner’s driveway.
Secure all windows and doors when your
motorhome is unoccupied even if only for a
short length of time.
vIn (vehicle identification number)
Record your motorhome VIN which can be
found on the lower edge of the base vehicle
front windscreen and the plate located on the
front cross member under the bonnet.
Make a note of these numbers in the space
provided at the front of this handbook and
make a separate note of the numbers to keep
safe at home.
additional security
Consider fitting any device which might deter
or prevent intrusion by thieves. Customers are
advised to identify their motorhome with a method
for subsequent identification if other forms of
identification have been altered or removed.
Free crime prevention advice about securing
your motorhome, 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.
