VENTILATION
AllmotorhomescomplywithBSEN721.The
ventilation points on your motorhome are fixed
points of ventilation which are required by the
European Standards.
All motorhomes have ventilation at high level
and low level which have been calculated to
suit the individual needs of your motorhome.
High level ventilation is achieved by means of
the roof lights and washroom roof ventilators.
The low level ventilators are positioned
underneath the fridge housing or within the rear
travelling seat.
Under no circumstances must these vents be
blocked or obstructed, even partially.
It is advised that fixed ventilation points are
checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a regular
basis using a small brush and a domestic
vacuum cleaner.
Additional night time ventilation is obtained by
releasing the window catches and placing them
inthesecondgroove.Notethewindowsare
not sealed from rain in this position.
As the ventilation levels are calculated to suit
each model’s requirements there should be
no modifications made which may result in
reduced ventilation levels.
WARNING: Do not obstruct ventilation.
WARNING: Never use portable cooking
or heating equipment other than electric
heaters that are not of the direct radiant
type, as it is a fire and asphyxiation hazard.
WARNING: Appliances such as cookers
must not be used for heating.
ESCAPE PATHS
It is important that you do not block escape
paths to emergency exits with obstructions
or hazards.
CHILDREN
Do not leave children alone in the motorhome in
any event. Keep potentially dangerous items out
of reach, as at home eg matches, drugs etc.
