General Detector Information
As you are confined in a RV, which is much smaller than a standard
house, you must realize safety detectors will be activated much sooner
than in a residential house, due to there being much less air volume.
Each of these 3 detectors have their own manual and instructions,
providing additional information for its use and operation.
Lifetime of each detector is up to 10 years and needs to be replaced as
per manufacturer
’s instructions. Record purchase date on smoke alarm.
Safety Detectors
Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher is installed in each vehicle and is located near the
entrance door of the recreational vehicle. Be familiar with its location and
operating instructions as printed on the extinguisher. Inspect your
extinguisher at least two times per year or more as instructed on the
extinguisher.
Propane/Carbon Monoxide Detector
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 power to operate the device. There is no master cutoff
switch to disengage 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.
When preparing to depart or move, don’t forget to reverse the
“SETTING UP” procedure. Remember, open roofs vents,
windows, or TV antennas left in the UP position are subject to
wind damage in transit.
