GENERAL SAFETY
VENTILATION
All motorhomes manufactured by Elddis are
ventilated at both high and low level in
accordance with BS EN 721 Safety
Ventilation. The fixed ventilation points fitted
in your motorhome must not be blocked
under any circumstances as your safety may
depend upon them. It is advisable that the
fixed ventilation points are checked and
cleaned (where necessary) on a regular
basis.
High-Level Ventilation
This is always provided by fixed ventilation
within the fitted roof skylight. All roof skylights
fitted by Elddis provide fixed free area
ventilation. These roof skylights should be
cleaned annually by use of a small brush to
remove any dust that may have accumulated
around the mesh fitted. On some roof
skylights the mesh can be easily removed to
aid cleaning. On fan-assisted roof skylights it
is essential that the fan is switched off prior to
cleaning
Low-Level Ventilation
The vents built into the step by the main
entrance door provide lowlevel ventilation.
These vents should be kept clear and
cleaned regularly using soapy water.
Ventilation in Separate Bedrooms
In motorhomes with separated sleeping
areas, separate ventilation is required and is
provided via a roof skylight at high level and
a ventilator at low level within a bed box.
Gas Dispersal Holes
All appliances and gas unions have a gas
dispersal hole nearby. It is essential that
these are not blocked or made ineffective.
FIRE SAFETY
Fire Extinguishers
It is recommended that a 1 kg (21b) minimum
capacity dry powder fire extinguisher be
carried inside your motorhome at all times. A
pan fire must not have an extinguisher aimed
at it, but must be smothered with a fire
blanket.
In Case Of Fire
(i) Get everyone out of the motorhome as
quickly as possible using whichever exit
is quickest including windows. Do not
stop to collect any personal items.
(ii) Raise the alarm. Call the fire brigade.
(iii) Turn off the gas container valve if safe to
do so.
Fire Retardant Foams
All motorhomes are equipped with either
Combustion Modified High Resilient (CMHR)
foam cushions or sprung mattresses and fire
retardent fabric. All furnishings and fabrics
used by Elddis comply with the Furniture and
Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations. In
addition all upholstery is made of fire
retardant fabric.
