Ventilation
Low-level ventilations is provided from either the passenger
and drivers door, or behind the drivers seat. High-level
ventilation is provided by sky lights located in the roof of
the vehicle.
All ventilation complies with European Standards and vents
should not be obstructed in any way as this could lead to
insufficient fresh air. If this occurs, the confined atmosphere
becomes deficient in oxygen which leads to the formation of
the highly poisonous gas carbon monoxide (CO). CO is
odourless, colourless and tasteless and will rapidly cause
unconsciousness followed by death.
If this happens there is little or no warning prior to collapse.
Note:
There is no danger providing the ventilation is not
blocked and any meshes are cleaned regularly.
Roof Mounted Flue Installations
All flue installations should be inspected for corrosion once
a year throughout their length. If any sign of perforation is
detected, the flue should be replaced. Ensure that the
replacement flue is of an correct type and that it is installed
by an approved engineer.
Combustible Materials
Care should be taken when storing any combustible
materials near any heat source (eg space heater).
Warning
Please note that internal outlet sockets should only be
used with dedicated appliances.
Please note that no appliance should be used outside the
motorhome if connected to an internal socket.
Portable Heaters
Never use portable cooking or heating equipment, other than
radiant heaters that are not of the direct radiant type, as it is a
fire and asphyxiation hazard.
Under no circumstances should a cooking appliance be
used for heating the vehicle.
