your interest, there is a lot to learn, but please observe
the following code.

get the best out of the countryside, travel around as
quiet as possible.
The Coastal Code
As our coastlines are increasingly used for recreation
and education, the following suggestions are made to
enable us to enjoy our inheritance and preserve it for
posterity.
Do not trample about, or move rocks unnecessarily.
Do not frighten seals or sea birds.
Do not spear sh
Do not spill detergents, solvents or fuel from boats as
these can kill marine life.
When using a boat, moderate your speed- the wash from
a fast boat can destroy both banks and nests.
Live molluscs and crustaceans need not be collected as
souvenirs – dead shells can usually be found.
Shellsh can take years to grow and nes can be imposed
for not observing national regulations.
Do not pull up seaweed unnecessarily.
Make your visit instructive not destructive.
Look at material, don’t remove it. Take notes and
photographs, not specimens.
Observe bye-laws and be considerate to others.
National Trust property or Country Parks have
regulations to protect the wildlife. Follow these.
Roof Loading:
Do not allow children to climb on the roof of
your caravan.
Special care when on the roof particularly in wet or
frosty weather conditions, as the surface could be
slippery. Always wear practical footwear when climbing
onto your vehicle.
Safety and Security
Your attention is drawn to the notice xed
in your Caravan advising on re protection,
ventilation and what to do in case of re.
Children,
Never leave children alone in the Caravan and keep
potentially dangerous items out of reach as at home e.g.
matches drugs etc.
When upper bunks are used by children,
especially those under the age of six, care
should be taken to ensure against the risk of
them falling out. These bunks are not suitable
for the use of infants without adult supervision.
Fire Extinguishers
It is recommended that a 1 Kg (2.2lb) minimum capacity
dry powder re extinguisher be located near to the main
habitation entrance door.
A pan re ‘should’ not have a re extinguisher aimed at
it but be smothered with a re blanket. This should be
within easy reach of the hob but away from the source
of ames.
In Case of Fire
• Get everyone out of the caravan as quickly as
possible using whichever exit is quickest including
windows.
• Raise the alarm – Call the re brigade (In the UK dial
999)
• Turn off the gas container valve if safe to do so.
Your caravan is tted 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.
Ventilation and Condensation
The ventilation points on your Caravan are xed
points of ventilation which are specied by
European Standards. Under no circumstances
must these be blocked or obstructed. It is
advised that xed ventilation points and any
protective screens are checked and cleaned (if
necessary) on a regular basis.
Fresh air circulation should be allowed below the Caravan
when appliances are in use and when ues terminate
below the oor to allow free evacuation of the products
of combustion. At least three sides of the under-oor
space should be kept clear and unobstructed including
by snow. Do not make any additional openings in the
oor.
Additional night time ventilation is obtained by releasing
the window catches and placing them in the second
groove on the frame catch.
