SAFETY AND SECURITY
5.6 Ventilation
All motorhomes comply with BS EN 721. The
ventilation points on your motorhome are fixed
points of ventilation which are required by the
European Standards.
All motorhomes have ventilation at high level
and low level which have been calculated to suit
the individual needs of your motorhome.
High level ventilation is achieved by means of
the roof lights and washroom roof ventilators
(where applicable). The low level ventilators
are positioned under furniture units.
Under no circumstances must these vents be
blocked or obstructed in any manner as this
could lead to insufficient fresh air. In this case
the confined atmosphere becomes depleted of
oxygen which could lead to dangerous levels of
carbon dioxide (CO2) build up leading to the risk
of asphyxiation.
The risks of carbon monoxide (CO) build up,
which is a colourless, odourless and tasteless
gas, will also be reduced with ventilation.
Carbon monoxide is produced from incomplete
combustion and should the CO detector
be activated the cause of the incomplete
combustion must be investigated prior to
reusing the appliance in question.
It is advised that fixed ventilation points are
checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a regular
basis using a small brush and a domestic
vacuum cleaner.
Additional night time ventilation is obtained by
releasing the window catches and placing them
in the second groove. Note the windows are not
sealed from rain in this position.
As the ventilation levels are calculated to suit
each model requirements no modifications
should be made which may result in reduced
ventilation levels.
WARNING: Do not obstruct ventilation.
