Safety and Security
I S n
mportant afety oteS
To ensure all the occupants of your motorhome
enjoy a safe and relaxed environment please
observe the following:
• Ensure all the occupants are aware of
escape routes in the case of an emergency.
• Always keep escape routes and exit points
clear from obstruction and debris.
• Provide one dry powder fire extinguisher
of an approved type or complying with
ISO 7465 of at least 1kg capacity by the
main door, and a fire blanket next to the
cooker. Familiarise yourself with your fire
extinguisher and the local fire precaution
arrangements.
• Your motorhome is a compact living
environment, and appliances should be
treated in the same way as those in the
home to prevent any accidental burning or
scalding – keep young children away from
hot surfaces.
• Ensure the motorhome is serviced and
maintained in accordance with this
handbook as well as the base vehicle
handbook. The recommendation of
manufacturers regarding their appliances
must also be followed. Also, ensure that
any replacement parts for an appliance
conform to the appliance manufacturer's
specifications and should be fitted by them
or an authorised agent.
Before the vehicle is driven, please ensure that:
• Both the driver and passengers wear seat
belts. This is a legal requirement.
• Heavy loads are not stored in top cupboards
or in areas from which they may become
detached. Please ensure that heavy items
are stored low down and take care not to
overload individual wheels, the axles or the
MTPLM.
• Tables must be secured in their storage
compartments.
• Cupboards and flaps are in the closed
position and secured.
• The refrigerator door is closed and secured.
• Roof ventilators are closed and locked in the
down position.
• The bathroom is not used while the vehicle
is in motion.
• Top hinged windows are closed and securely
fastened.
• All passengers are secure and wear the
appropriate restraint for their height and
age.
• Turn off all gas appliances, except those
heating appliances designed to function
while the vehicle is in motion

The theft of a motorhome can occur
in the most unlikely circumstance;
from a motorway area, even from an
owner's driveway.
Always remember to secure all windows and
doors when your motorhome is unoccupied,
even if only for a short while.
Do not leave this handbook in the motorhome
for extended periods of storage.
Consider fitting any device that may deter or
prevent intrusion by thieves. A wheel lock
prevents removal of the wheel.
Advice about securing your motorhome,
protecting your valuables and property
marking, either at home or while on site, can
be obtained from your local Crime Prevention
Officer through your local Police Station.
