GAS SERVICES
Portable heaters
Never use portable cooking or heating
appliances, other than electrical heaters,
that are not of the direct radiant type.
Using these to heat your vehicle can be
a fire and asphyxiation hazard. Under no
circumstances should a cooking appliance
be used for heating the vehicle.
Awning space LPG exhaust
No danger is caused if the LPG exhaust
from the fridge, vents into an enclosed
awning. If totally enclosed, space heaters
may produce enough exhaust fumes to
pollute an enclosed awning to levels of
discomfort.
In extreme cases, carbon monoxide could
build up to reach dangerous levels. You are
advised to allow some additional ventilation
when such appliances are in use.

Warning: Internal socket outlets should only be used be dedicated appliances. No appliance should be used
outside the motorhome whilst connected to an internal socket. Please ensure that the gas system is only
modified and maintained by competent persons.
SUSPECTED GAS LEAK?
• Use the isolation valve on top of the gas bottle to turn o the gas supply
at the cylinder.
• Do not use any source of ignition near the vehicle (e.g. match, lighter).
• Open all doors and windows to allow any gas to escape.
• LPG has been given a smell by manufacturers to help with detecting
leaks. Check that this smell is not escaping from an unlit appliance.
• Do not operate any electrical apparatus, especially light switches.
• If the leak is not obvious, please evacuate the vehicle and contact
qualified personnel.
Please remember that gas is heavier than air and will therefore sink to the
lowest point. If the leak is from the gas cylinder and this cannot be stopped,
remove the cylinder to a safe place in the open air in an upright position away
from drains and any source of ignition. Where bottled gas containers are
stored outside, ensure they are protected against frost. If storing inside, keep
away from heat sources.
