FIRE & SAFETY
30
Bunks
Where fitted, the foldaway bunk has been
tested to 70kg (11 stones) and has a
recommended limit of 57kgs (9 stones).
Safety features are included but care should
always be taken, particularly if the child is
under 3 years of age. Bunks are not suitable
for children under 6 years old without
supervision.
Solid (fixed) bunks have a recommended
limit of 75kg (12 stones).
Ventilation
All caravans comply with British
Standards EN1645. The ventilation points on
your caravan are fixed points of ventilation
which are stated by the British Standards.
Ventilation is provided at floor and ceiling
level and care should be taken to ensure
these remain clear of debris by regular
cleaning.
Under no circumstances must these
vents be blocked or obstructed.
It is advised that fixed ventilation points
are checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a
regular basis.
Additional night time ventilation is
obtained by releasing the window catches
and placing them in the second groove on
the frame catch.
You must maintain adequate spacing of
combustible materials from sources of heat
(eg heater)
Do not use independent gas appliances
inside the caravan.
We advise that the user instructions for the
fitted appliances are studied in addition to
the information in this handbook.
Petrol/Diesel Fumes
The fitting of a tail pipe to your car exhaust
will reduce the possibility of fumes entering
your caravan through the front fixed
ventilation points.
SECURITY
Caravan theft
The theft of a caravan can occur in the
most unlikely circumstances; from a
motorway service area, even from an
owner’s driveway.
Secure all windows and doors when your
caravan is unoccupied even if only for a short
length of time.
Vehicle Identification Number (V.I.N.)
Record your caravan V.I.N. which can be
found on any of the eye level windows.
