Avoiding Asphyxiation

1.
Do not use portable fuel-burning equipment, such as wood and charcoal grills, heater or stoves in the Motorhome.
The use of this equipment can generate deadly carbon monoxide gas or cause fires.
Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline, or other flammable liquids inside the vehicle because a fire or
explosion may result.
Do not use materials that contain AMMONIA or CHLORINE to check for leakage.
2.
Provide proper ventilation when using the gas range to prevent asphyxiation. Do not use the range to heat the vehicle.
Long term use of these appliances for space heating increases the chance of asphyxiation. Before using the range:
Open overhead vent
Open window
3.
Avoid breathing the exhaust fumes from a gas or diesel engine and LP gas burner. Such exhaust fumes may be
generated from operating the Motorhome or generator engine or stove, oven, refrigerator, furnace or water heater.
Position the Motorhome so the wind blows exhaust fumes away. Provide ventilation to the inside of the Motorhome
for adequate air exchange when appliances or furnaces are being used to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide. Be
sure all alarms are in proper working condition.
4.
Do not run Motorhome or generator engine in a confined area such as a garage unless you are just moving it out of
such a confined area.
5.
Use vent or air conditioning fan to force fresh air into the interior when vehicle is in an open area with the engine
running for more than just a short time.
6.
Maintain engine and generator exhaust system components in top condition to prevent fumes from entering the
Motorhome. Check when changing oil, when exhaust sound changes or when the underbody of the Motorhome
comes in contact with an object or is damaged.
7.
Close rear windows when driving to prevent drawing exhaust fumes into vehicle.
When the Motorhome is new, some of the appliances will burn off paint or residue which has accumulated during
production. You may also note some odors from cleaners which will dissipate with ventilation.
