SAFETY DETECTORS
Fire Extinguisher—1
A fire extinguisher is installed in each coach and is located near the
entrance door of the RV. Be familiar with its location and operating
instructions as printed on the extinguisher. Inspect your extinguisher
at least two times per year or more often, as instructed on the
extinguisher. Extinguisher is rated at 5 or 10 B.C.
Propane/Carbon Monoxide Detector —2
Any recreational vehicle which contains a propane fuel system with
propane consuming appliances requires a propane leak detection
device for safety protection. Currently this detector also serves as a
carbon monoxide protection device. A converter or auxiliary battery
is required to supply 12-volt DC energy to operate the device. There
is no master cut-off switch to disengage the detector.
WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE?
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas which is released
when fuels are burnt. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore
very difficult to detect with the human senses. Under normal
conditions, in a room where fuel burning appliances are well
maintained and correctly ventilated, the amount of carbon monoxide
released into the room by appliances is not dangerous. These fuels
include: wood, coal, charcoal, oil. natural gas, gasoline, kerosene,
and propane. Such gases can build up in the blood, interfering with
the body’s ability to supply oxygen to itself.
Because CO is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and highly
poisonous gas that prevents the blood from carrying oxygen to vital
organs, CO is 200 times more likely to replace oxygen in the blood.
It can endanger lives even at low levels of concentration.
