2. Raise the alarm. Call the fire brigade.
3. Turn o gas container valve if safe
to do so.
Ventilation and condensation
All caravans comply with EN 721.
The ventilation points on your caravan
are fixed points of ventilation, which are
required by the European Standards.
Low level ventilation is located at various
points. High level ventilation is through
the roof lights. It is advised that fixed
ventilation points are checked and
cleaned (if necessary) on a regular basis.
Check site regulations for any
local restrictions
Selecting a pitch
Carefully select where you wish to place
your caravan. The site should be as level
as possible, preferably not under or
near trees, well drained and away from
possible boggy areas. Consider how
you will move the caravan when it is
time to leave the site. On sloping ground
it is better to pitch facing downhill,
especially during wet weather. It should
be noted that some items of caravan
equipment are only designed for use up
to a 3 degree angle and if this angle is
exceeded the components may fail.
It is good practice to chock the wheels
of the caravan when parked on a slope
even though the caravan brakes are
applied.

Warning
Under no circumstances must these
vents be blocked or obstructed, even
partially.
Warning
Never use portable cooking or
heating equipment, other than
electrical heaters that are not of
the radiant type, as it is a fire and
asphyxiation hazard.
Warning
Petrol/Diesel Fumes
The fitting of a tail pipe to your
exhaust will reduce the possibility of
fumes entering your caravan through
the front fixed ventilation points.
Warning
Always disconnect the 13 pin plug
between the towing vehicle and the
caravan before connecting an LV
(230V) supply to the caravan and
before charging the caravan battery
