CO Detector
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is manufactured during the
burning of fossil fuels. The CO detector is located on the ceiling of your unit.
It is operated with a 9 volt DC battery, and alarms any time carbon monoxide
levels beyond the normal range are detected. It should be tested before every
trip, and any time the coach has been in storage. If the alarms sounds, open
windows and vents to allow any carbon monoxide that has built up to
dissipate, and evacuate the vehicle until the alarm has stopped. The CO
detector can be cleaned by vacuuming the openings in the side of the case.
Smoke Detector
The battery powered smoke detector is mounted on the ceiling in the living
area of the unit. Read the operating instructions for details on the testing and
care for this important safety device. Test the smoke detector after the unit has
been in storage, before each trip, and at least once a week during use. The
detector should never be disabled because of nuisance or false alarm from
cooking smoke or a dusty furnace. Ventilate the unit with fresh air and the
alarm will shut off. Never disconnect or remove the battery from the smoke
alarm. The battery should be replaced once a year or when the low battery
signal sounds.
Emergency Exit Window
In the bedroom of you unit, there is an emergency exit (egress) window.
This window is designed to be used as an additional exit in emergency
situations. It can be easily identified by the red color of the handle and the
red “EXIT” label. To open the egress window, lift the handle and push
outward on the window. The window can be closed by pulling the window
closed and lowering the handle to the down or locked position.
