IRE XTINGUISHERS
It is recommended that a 1kg (2.2lb) minimum
capacity dry powder fire extinguisher be
located near to the main habitation entrance
door.
A pan fire should not have a fire extinguisher
aimed at it but be smothered with a fire
blanket. This should be within easy reach of the
hob but away from the source of flames.

N ASE OF IRE
• Get everyone out of the caravan as quickly
as possible using whichever exit is quickest,
including windows.
• Raise the alarm – call the fire brigade (in the
UK dial 999).
• Turn off the gas container valve if it is safe
to do so.
Your caravan is fitted with a smoke
alarm. The operation of the alarm
should be tested after the vehicle has
been in storage, before each trip and
at least once per week during use.
V
ENTILATION AND
The ventilation points on your caravan
are fixed points specified by European
standards. Under no circumstances
must these be blocked or obstructed.
It is advised that fixed ventilation
points and any protective screens
are checked and cleaned on a regular
basis.
Fresh air circulation should be allowed below
the caravan when appliances are in use and
when flues terminate below the floor to allow
free evacuation of the products of combustion.
At least three sides of the under-floor space
should be kept clear and unobstructed,
including by snow. Do not make any additional
openings in the floor.
Additional night-time ventilation is obtained by
releasing the window catches and placing them
in the second groove on the frame catch.
C
ONDENSATION
Under no circumstances should
the caravan ventilation be covered,
blocked or tampered with in any way.
P D F
ETROL AND IESEL UMES
The fitting of a tail pipe deflector to your
exhaust will reduce the possibility of fumes
entering your caravan through the front
fixed ventilation points. However fitting an
extension to an exhaust tail pipe will render the
exhaust illegal if it projects beyond the vehicle
body or bumper.
