GENERAL SAFETY
IMPORTANT: Your attention is drawn to
the notice affixed in the caravan’s
wardrobe advising on fire prevention,
ventilation and what to do in case of fire.
VENTILATION
All caravans manufactured by Xplore are
ventilated at both high and low level in
accordance with BSEN 721 Safety
Ventilation.
High-Level Ventilation
This is always provided by fixed ventilation
within the fitted roof skylight. All roof skylights
fitted by Xplore 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
Low-level ventilation is provided under the
front chest of drawers, except in an L shape
layout, where it can be found either in the
nearside or offside bed box. The exact
position can be identified via a cover used to
prevent the ventilation from being obstructed.
In order to clean the ventilator, remove the
cover by undoing the two screws and clean
using a small brush. It is essential that the
cover is replaced once cleaning is complete.
Ventilation in Separate Bedrooms
In caravans 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 or
under the fixed bed.
Gas Dispersal Holes
All appliances and gas taps have a gas
dispersal hole nearby. It is essential that
these are not blocked or made ineffective.
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.
FIRE SAFETY
Fire Extinguishers
It is recommended that a 1 kg (2lb) minimum
capacity dry powder fire extinguisher be
carried inside your caravan 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 caravan 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 caravans are equipped with either
Combustion Modified High Resilient
(C.M.H.R.) foam cushions or sprung
mattresses and fire retardent fabric. All
furnishings and fabrics used by Xplore
comply with the Furniture and Furnishings
(Fire Safety) Regulations. In addition all
upholstery is made of fire retardant fabric.
