Safety & Security
IMPORTANT: Your attention is drawn to
the notice affixed in your motorhome
advising you on fire prevention, ventilation
and what to do in case of a fire.
FIRE
In case of fire
1. 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.
2. Raise the alarm. Call the Fire Brigade.
3. Turn off gas supply valve, if safe to do so.
Fire Extinguishers
It is recommended that a 1kg (2lb) minimum
capacity dry powder fire extinguisher
complying with the requirements of ISO 7165
be carried inside your motorhome at all
times and a fire blanket be kept next to the
cooker.
A fat pan fire should not have an
extinguisher aimed at it but be smothered
with a fire blanket.
Children
Do not leave children alone in the
motorhome in any event. Keep potentially
dangerous items out of reach as at home,
e.g. matches, drugs, etc.
Escape Paths
It is important that you do not block escape
paths to emergency exits with obstructions
or hazards.
VENTILATION
All motorhomes are built to EN 721. The
ventilation points on your motorhome are
fixed points of ventilation which are stated
by this standard. Under no circumstances
must these vents be blocked or obstructed.
All ventilation levels are calculated to suit
each models requirements. There should be
no modifications made which may result in
reduced ventilation levels.
Ventilation is provided at low level by vents
fitted either to the furniture or in the entrance
step, and at high level by the roof lights.
It is advised that fixed ventilation points are
checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a
regular basis with a small brush or a vacuum
cleaner.
WARNING: NEVER use portable cooking
or heating equipment other than electric
heaters that are not of the direct radiant
type, as it is a fire and asphyxiation
hazard.
NEVER allow modification of electrical or
LPG systems and appliances except by
qualified tradesmen at a Swift Group Dealer
In the interests of safety, replacement parts
for an appliance should conform to the
appliance manufacturer's specification and
should be fitted by them or their authorised
agent.
Additional night time ventilation is obtained
on some windows by releasing the window
catches and placing them in the second
groove. Note the windows are not sealed
from rain in this position.
WARNING: Do not obstruct ventilation
SECURITY
Motorhome Theft
The theft of a motorhome can occur in the
most unlikely circumstances; from a motor-
way service area or even an owner’s
driveway.
Secure all windows and doors when your
motorhome is unoccupied even if only for a
short length of time.
Chassis number
Record your motorhome chassis number,
which can be found under the bonnet, and
the body conversion serial number.
Make a note of these numbers in the space
provided at the rear of this handbook and
make a separate note of the numbers to
keep safe at home.
Additional security
Window etching of the chassis number is a
cost effective deterrent.
Free crime prevention advice about securing

site, can be obtained from the Crime
Prevention Officer through your local Police
