When operating the fire if any surface that is combustible i.e. wood, lining or furniture gets to 
the temperature where it is hot to touch then you should be looking at improving the heat 
reflectors for greater margin of safety. 

 
 
 

Installation Instructions 

 

The correct installation of your new fire is important to ensure both safety and performance.  
 
We recommend installing your fire on the driver’s side of your vehicle to reduce the risk of 
the chimney cowl fouling overhanging trees etc. Tarlan can manufacture cowl protectors on 
request which is a frame that is affixed to the roof of the bus and allows any branches etc to 
ride up and over the flue cap. 
 
However fit where you want it! 

 

For other areas please consult us for tech support- for dwellings a plumber is the best man for 

this but we can supply the flue kit if given drawing of roof detail. 

 

Our Motor Home installation method is

 

 

 

1.

 

We use a modified expandable awning pole- place it in centre of fire outlet and extend to 
roof, align the pole by eye with a vertical cabinet or door way on your interior, you can 
use a spirit level but check a near surface to compare bus vertical level. 

hint: remove anything that may allow you to check what is in the roof cavity, we 

removed a speaker to check for wires or roof beams.
