areas, such as a closed garage, any longer than needed to move your RV in or out of

 Windows should be closed while driving or running the generator (if so equipped) to
avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into the RV.
 If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the RV have the cause determined and

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the RV is a properly maintained
ventilation system and an active carbon monoxide detector. To allow for proper operation
of the RV ventilation system, keep the ventilation inlet grill(s) clear of snow, leaves or other
obstructions at all times.
See the Occupant Safety section of this manual for additional information on carbon
