FIRE SAFETY
In case of fire
Please read all warning notices inside
your motorhome advising you on
fire prevention, ventilation and what
to do in the event of a fire. If a fire
should develop in your vehicle,
please observe the following:
• Get everybody out of the
motorhome as quickly as
possible.
• Call the fire brigade.
• Turn o the gas bottle isolation
valve if safe to do so.
• If possible and safe to do so,
remove the gas cylinders and
place some distance away
from the vehicle.
• If it is an electrical fire, turn
o the supply as quickly as
possible.
• Only tackle the fire if you
deem it safe to do so.
Fire extinguisher
Your vehicle is fitted with a fire
extinguisher for use in the event of
an emergency. The location of the
fire extinguisher will vary from model
to model, so it is important that you
familiarise yourself with this before
using your vehicle for the first time.
Please refer to the instructions
printed on the extinguisher for
guidance as to the correct use
of the unit, and the maintenance
schedule that should be adhered
to.
Please ensure that you are
confident as to the location and
operation of the fire extinguisher
before using the vehicle for the
first time.
Combustible materials
Care should be taken when storing
combustible materials near any
source of heat (e.g. space heater),
as these surfaces can become
very hot during use. Any guards or
grills may not give full protection,
particularly to the young or elderly.
Portable heaters
Never use portable cooking or
heating appliances, other than
electric heaters, that are not of
the direct radiant type to heat
your vehicle as it can be a fire and
asphyxiation hazard.
Under no circumstances should
a cooking appliance be used for
heating the vehicle.
Please note: Portable or open
flame heating equipment should
not be used. If you have such
equipment on board, consider very
carefully whether the risks are
worth it. Internal socket outlets
should only be used with dedicated
appliances. No appliance should
be used outside the vehicle whilst
connected to an internal socket.
Escape paths
It is important that you do
not block any escape paths
or emergency exits with any
obstructions that could hinder
your escape in an emergency.
Please familiarise yourself with
the designated emergency exits in
your vehicle before using it for the
first time.
Children and pets
Do not leave children or pets in an
unattended motorhome, as they
could be exposed to hazards that
could cause an accident.
