SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety instructions
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Ensure that the motorhome is correctly loaded. Loads
must be evenly distributed and secured in the motorhome.
Heavy loads must be placed low down. Only lightweight
equipment is to be kept in overhead cupboards and similar
storage facilities.
There must be no loose equipment that can harm
passengers.
Check the weight of loads and ensure that the vehicle’s
maximum permitted weight is not exceeded.
Distribute loads in the motorhome so that permitted axle
loads are not exceeded. The permitted load for each axle
is stated on a plate in the engine bay.
Motorhomes with bicycle carriers:
Ensure that the bicycle carrier is secured in the “drive”
position and that the bicycles are correctly attached and
secure.
Before travel:
• close all exterior doors.
• ensure that the motorhome’s steps are retracted.
• ensure that the support legs have been fully wound up.
• close interior cupboard doors and drawers.
• ensure that the refrigerator door is secured.
• tables must be secured in their storage compartments.
• the bathroom is not used while the vehicle is in motion.
• roof ventilators are closed and locked in the down
position.
• top hinged windows are closed and securely fastened.
• passengers should only be carried in designated
passenger seats tted with approved 3-point seat
belts. Children should be seated on a bolster cushion
on a correctly tted child seats when the vehicle is in
motion.
• turn o󰀨 all gas appliances, expect those heating
appliances designed to function while the vehicle is in
motion.
• Roof mounted aerial is retracted and locked in posi-
tion.
• all exterior lockers and aps are closed and in the
travel position.
VENTILATION
All motorhomes comply with BS EN 721. The ventilation
points on your motorhome are xed points of ventilation
which are required by the European Standards.
Under no circumstances must these vents be blocked or
obstructed in any manner as this could lead to insu󰀩cient
fresh air. In this case the conned 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 xed 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 modications should be made which may
result in reduced ventilation levels.
WARNING!
Do not obstruct ventilation.
WARNING!
Never use portable cooking or heating
equipment other than electric heaters
that are not of the direct radiant type,
as it is a re and asphyxiation hazard.
WARNING!
Appliances such as cookers must not
be used as space heaters.

INTERIOR FITTINGS
Certain models have a step.
The step’s maximum permitted load is 100 kg.
Certain models have a ceiling-mounted bed.
Use upper bunks for sleeping only, with the protection
against falling out in position.
WARNING!
Care shall be taken against the risk of
falling out, when upper bunks are used
by children, especially under 6 years
of age. these bunks are not suitable for
use by infants without supervision.
WARNING!
If you smell gas or suspect a leak or in
the event of a re and if it is safe to do
so, isolate the gas appliances and turn
o󰀨 the supply using the remote valve.
Evacuate the motorhome and ventilate.
Seek professional advice as to the
cause of the leak.
GAS SAFETY
WARNING!
In the interest of safety, replacement
parts for an appliance shall conform
to the appliance manufacturer’s
specications and should be tted
by him or his authorised agents.
Bottled gas is highly ammable. It must be treated with
respect.
LPG is not poisonous, however, it has been given a smell
by the manufacturers in order to identify leaks.
Every year, a professional must test the gas system for
leaks. Repairs to the gas system must be carried out by a
professional.
If gas taps are sti󰀨 to operate, or appear to be the source
of leakage, call a competent installer to rectify. LPG taps
require a special grease.
Turn o󰀨 all gas appliances, except those heating applian-
ces designed to function while the vehicle is in motion.
If any gas appliance is lit, driving into a petrol station is
prohibited.
Ensure that the boiler and refrigerator are turned o󰀨.
Turning o󰀨 all gas appliances before driving into a petrol
station is the driver’s responsibility.
When the motorhome is not being used, close the mas-
ter valve of each gas bottle.
When changing gas bottles, ensure that the area is free
from naked ames (including cigarettes) and glowing or
hot objects that may ignite the gas.
When changing gas bottles, use the leak tester to test
the system for leaks. If there is any suspicion of a leak,
contact a professional.
In garages, ferries or other enclosed areas, gas applian-
ces must be turned o󰀨 and the master valve of each bottle
must be closed.
Never allow modication of electrical or LPG systems and
appliances except by qualied persons.
Care should be taken that any additional equipment or
appliances are installed in accordance with the appliance/
equipment manufacturers and Coachman’s instructions
(e.g. air conditioning, satellite dish, fuel cells etc.)

EN
Aerosols and highly ammable liquids must not be stored
in the compartment behind, or adjacent to, any gas
appliance.
Always seek advise when in doubt.
All ue installations should be inspected at least once a
year, throughtout their length for integrity of attachment,
both to appliance and cowl, and for perforation due to
damage or corrosion.
Flues should be replaced if any sign of damage or perfora-
tion is found. It should be ensured that the replacement is
of an approved type conforming to the recommendations
of BS 5440-1
• Do not use appliances which have a di󰀨erent working
pressure.
• The gas system and appliances must be inspected/
maintained every 12 months (irrespective of usage) by
a qualied technician.
• The motorhome is designed to accept a maximum of
2 x 7 kg steel butane or
2 x 6 kg propane bottles or
1 x 5kg.
• Ensure there is no stress at the hose assembly when it
is connected to the cylinder.
• If using an external LPG supply the pressure must not
be less than 0.3 bar and not greater than 0.5 bar.
• Inspect exible hoses on a regular basis for deteriora-
tion, wear and damage and renew as necessary with
an approved type, in any case no later than the expiry
date marked on the hose.
• Do not site bottles outside the gas locker compartment
as this would necessitate the use of a high pressure
hose in excess of 450mm.
• Do not use any additional independent gas appliances
inside your caravan.
• When changing cylinders ensure that all appliances
are turned o󰀨 and the service valve is closed.
• Use appliances only for the purpose for which they
were designed/installed eg. Do not use cookers as a
space heater.
• Under no circumstances should xed ventilation
openings or gas appliance ues be obstructed in any
manner as this could lead to a build up of dangerous
carbon monoxide. Gas drop holes under appliances
should also be kept clear at all times.
Grilles and ues should be kept clean and free from dust.
Never use gas appliances without adequate ventilation.
All gas appliances require a plentiful supply of fresh air for
correct operation. Fixed ventilators or air inlets should not
be blocked.
Where practicable, turn o󰀨 all appliances before retiring to
bed, preferably at the cyclinder or inlet to the motorhome.
Unless the appliance incorporates automatic ignition,
when lighting an appliance always make sure you apply a
lighted match or taper to the burner before turning on the
gas.
If a gas leak is suspected, close the gas cylinder valve.
Do not operate electrical items.
Never check for gas leaks using a naked ame.
Open all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape.
If a leaking gas cylinder cannot be stopped, remove
the cylinder to a safe place in the open air in an upright
position , away from drains and any source of ignition.
Always read and follow the user and maintenance instruc-
tions proveded by the applance manufacturers. Should
any soot accumulate on pans, re radiants, etc or any
smell be produced, consult a competent installer on the
correct maintenance and adjustment of burners.
There is no danger of pollution of an enclosed awning
space from the LPG exhaust from a refrigerator venting
into it.
If totally enclosed, water heaters may produce su󰀩cient
exhaust to pollute the awning space, from a general
comfort, smell and hygiene point of view. In extreme cases
there could be a build up of carbon monoxide to a dange-
rous level.
Motorhome owners are advised to allow some fresh air
circulation in the awning space when such appliances are
in use.
Fresh air circulation should be allowed below the motor-
home when appliances are in use. At least three sides
of the underoor space should always be kept open and
unobstructed especially by snow. Do not make any ad-
ditional openings in the oor.
Fixed ventilation/gas drop holes are sited under gas appli-
ances in various locations in your motorhome.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
To connect 230 V AC, use 3 x 2.5 mm2earthed cable
approved for outdoor use and power loads of 3,600 W.
Connect the power cable only to an earthed socket.
Ensure that the power cable is placed out of the way of all
danger.
Damaged power cables must be replaced.
When replacing batteries, use the correct type of battery
for the motorhome and its equipment. Risk of injury and
overheating.
Any replacement of an auxiliary battery shall be of the
same type and specication as that originally tted or as
specied by the manufacturer.
Never allow modication of electrical or LPG systems and
appliances except by qualied persons.
Care should be taken that any additional equipment or
appliances are installed in accordance with the appliance/
equipment manufacturers and Coachman’s instructions
(e.g. air conditioning, satellite dish, fuel cells etc.)
No appliance should be used outside the vehicle, which is
connected to an internal socket.
It is good practice to test the RCD (Residual Current
Device) in the PSU before switching on. There is a test
button on the RCD to test the lever, put the lever in the up
position (on) before testing.
Never start your motorhome engine whilst hooked up
to the 230V supply. This can lead to damage to the
PDU. When the motorhome engine is running, power to
the habitation area is isolated. Therefore sockets and
connections will not function unless designed to do so, eg
Refrigerator.
Care must be taken when connecting to a supply abroad
as the supply may have reverse polarity. Reverse polarity
can lead to safety issues due to the fact that when
electrical equipment is switched o󰀨 it may not be electri-
cally isolated. The only certain way of making equipment
safe is to unplug it.
FIRE SAFETY
Powder extinguishers are recommended for res in motor-
homes.
Provide one dry powder re extinguisher of an approved
type or complying with EN3-7 or ISO 7165, of at least 1kg
capacity, by the main exterior door and a re blanket next
to the cooker.
Familiarise yourself with the instructions on your re ex-
tinguisher and the local re precaution arrangements.
Familiarise yourself with the reghting equipment at your
camping site.
If the door is obstructed/jammed, openable windows can
be used as emergency exits. Ensure that openable win-
dows do not get obstructed/jammed.
Ensure that the motorhome’s re and CO alarm are wor-
king. Change batteries as necessary. Test the re alarm
and CO alarm once a week (hold the button down until the
alarm goes o󰀨).
In the event of re:
• Get everyone out of the vehicle as quickly as possible
using whichever exit is quickest, including windows. do
not stop to collect any personal items.
• Disconnect the 230 V electricity supply.
• Close the gas bottle’s master valve in the gas bottle
locker if safe to do so.
• If possible, move gas bottles to a safe place. They are
pressure vessels that must not be exposed to overly
high temperatures. If the gas bottles cannot safely be
moved, evacuate the vicinity of the motorhome.
• Tell the reghters where the gas bottles are.

VEHICLE LOADING
Before you set o󰀨 on your journey it is important that the
vehicle is loaded and preparied correctly.
The driver is responsible for the safe loading and use of
the vehicle.
Loads must be evenly distributed and secured in the
motorhome, and arranged so that they comply with the
technical weight limits for that specic model. For vehicle
weights and dimensional data, please refer to the techni-
cal information.
Correct weight distribution is an important factor in en-
suring your vehicle is well balanced and easy to drive. It
is therefore necessary to load your motorhome carefully
making sure all heavy articles are evenly distributed and
are preferably placed in the lower lockers or bed boxes
and secure. (e.g. TV’s, awnings, chairs etc.)
Although it is essential to ensure that the total weight of
your motorhome does not exceed the stipulated Maxi-
mum Technically Permissible Laden Mass, (MTPLM), it
is important to remember that the front and rear axles
also have individual maximum weights which must not be
exceeded.
MAXIMUM USER PAYLOAD
The maximum allowable weight to be put into the motor-
home whilst it is being driven.
The maximum User Payload is the di󰀨erence between the
Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass and the
Mass in Running Order.
The User Payload is broken down into 4 sections as
follows:
• Personal E󰀨ects
Those items which a user can choose to carry in a
motorhome and which are not included as Essential
Habitation Equipment or Optional equipment.
• Conventional Load
A mass allowance for each designated passenger seat.
• Optional Equipment
Items made available by the manufacturer over and
above the standard specication of the motorhome.
• Essential Habitation
A mass allowance for liquids in systems not accounted
for within the MRO.
MAXIMUM TECHNICALLY
PERMISSIBLE LADEN MASS (MTPLM)
The maximum weight of the motorhome when it is fully
laden for use on the road. Please refer to the weights and
dimensions data.
MASS IN RUNNING ORDER (MRO)
The weight of the motorhome as it leaves the factory,
complete with all the items supplied as standard ttings. It
also includes
• Driver (75kg).
• Fuel tank at 90% capacity.
• One full LPG cylinder.
• All water tanks empty.
• Leisure battery.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances should
the MTPLM of your motorhome
be exceeded.
WARNING!
Passengers should only be carried in
designated seats tted with 3-point seat
belts. children should be seated on
bolster cushions or correctly tted child
seats when the vehcile is in motion.
WARNING!
Please take care to ensure that you
have allowed for the masses of all items
you intend to carry in your motorhome,
e.g. passengers, optional equipment,
essential habitation equipment as well
as your personal e󰀨ects.
Note:
The mass of the motorhome in running order contains
provision for the masses of liquids, gas etc. (see Mass
in Running Order in the Technical Section). Part of this
provision can also be utilised as additional payload, if for
example, you wish to travel with the LPG tank empty.
Note:
If you travel with water in the fresh water tank or waste
tank, the payload will have to be reduced accordingly
Note:
Quoted MRO is subject to tolerance, due to weight varia-
tion of materials used in Motorhome construction.
Safety instructions

2-6 C22M-1
Safety
Page EN
This vehicle has an MTPLM greater than 3500kg and
therefore a C1 licence is required to drive it and + E
entitlement if towing a trailer.
Licences issued to drivers who passed their car driving
test before 1st January 1997 include categories B+E and
C1+E which gives them entitlement to drive motor vehicles
up to 7500kg MTPLM and a gross train weight of 8250kg.
(The 107 code in column 12 of the driving licence denotes
this)
Drivers who passed their test on or after this date have
category B entitlement only, which restricts the entitlement
to motor vehicles with up to 8 passenger seats and an
MTPLM of up to 3500kg with trailers up to 750kg MTPLM
(4250kg gross train weight) or larger trailers providing
the combination of the trailer and towing vehicle does not
exceed 3500kg and the MTPLM of the trailer does not
exceed the unladen weight of the towing vehicle.
Drivers who passed their test on or after the 1st January
1997 will need to take an additional test(s) to gain the
C1+E entitlement.
Only drivers who have actually passed aC1 + E test are
entitled to utilise the gross train weight of 10,700kg.
Drivers who passed their test before 1st January 1997 are
limited to a gross train weight of 8250kg and will therefore
have to undertake a C1 + E test in order to tow with a
gross train weight of 10,700kg.
TOWING A TRAILER
The towing capability of your motorhome is 3500kg. This
takes account of the maximum front and rear axle loadings
as well as the minimum front axle loading in
two conditions, MRO and MTPLM condition. Towing in
these, and any other condition requires sensible loading
and distribution of payloads to ensure the requirements
of the towing capability table are met. When towing, the
demands on both the vehicle and driver increase. A trailer
reduces manoeuvrability, the ability to climb hills, accelera-
tion and braking capacity and makes the vehicle handle
and corner di󰀨erently. It will also increase the
fuel consumption of the vehicle. Always brake in good
time. Special care must be taken when descending
gradients. Change down before going down a steep hill
so the engine can act as a brake. Ensure that the towing
vehicle tyre pressures are correct and adjusted for full
load conditions and that the trailer tyre pressures are as
recommended by the trailer manufacturer. Regularly check
the operation of trailer brakes and lights. For maximum
stability, when loading the trailer ensure that the loads
are properly secured during transit. Position loads so that
most of the weight is placed close to the oor and, where
possible, immediately above or close to the axle(s). Where
the load can be divided between trailer and tow vehicle,
loading more weight into the vehicle will generally improve
the stability of the combination. After loading the trailer,
check that the
nose weight and axle loads are in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations, also check the rear and
front axle loads on the motorhome. When calculating the
laden weight of the trailer, remember to include the weight
of the trailer PLUS THE LOAD.
Note:
Towing regulations vary from country to country. It is very
important to ensure that national regulations governing
towing weights and speed limits are observed (refer to the
relevant national motoring organisation for information).
The stated maximum permissible towing weights refer to
the vehicle’s design limitations and NOT to any specic
territorial restrictions.
Notes:
1. Do not exceed the motorhome gross vehicle train
weight.
2. Do not exceed the maximum front & rear axle loads on
the motorhome.
3. Ensure the motorhome front axle load is never less
than 30% or more than 70% of the total weight.
4. The limit for towing an un-braked trailer is 750kg
(based on VIN plate not actual weight), this applies to
a towed car.
5. A car dolly with a car with a GVW over 750kg in place
is considered as two trailers, these are legal for use for
recovery but under the Road Tra󰀩c Regulations Act
1984 the combination is limited to 40 mph on motor-
ways and dual carriageways and 20 mph elsewhere.
A car dolly is not legal for transportation (there is a very
specic di󰀨erence between recovery and transporta-
tion. Recovery is dened as the removal of a broken
down vehicle to a place of safety).
6. The maximum permitted vehicle combination length
is 18.75m, however any combination must ensure
compliance with the turning circle requirements of Con-
struction and Use regulations 1986 & 1230/2012/ EU.
EUROPEAN TOURING
Please note there are a number of requirements placed
on a driver when driving on European roads. Carrying a
warning triangle, high visibility jacket, rst aid kit and spare
bulb is now compulsory in many EU states but some EU
countries are now introducing further regulations such as
carrying a breathalyser kit and not being able to use satel-
lite navigation systems with speed camera warnings. We
would advise customers to check on the many websites
available to ensure you are carrying the correct equipment
when touring in those EU countries.

TERMAL INSULATION
HEATING
Your motorhome has been designed to achieve a thermal
insulation and heating level for specic climatic conditions
when tested according to the procedure in EN1646-1.
See the motorhome technical book for the classication of
your motorhome.
All Coachman motorhomes achieve a Grade 2 classica-
tion.
The classications are as follows:
Grade 1
A motorhome with an average thermal transmittance (u)
that does not exceed 1.7w/(m²k).
Grade 2
A motorhome with an average thermal transmittance
(u) that does not exceed 1.7w/(m²k) and which can
achieve an average temperature di󰀨erence of at least
20°C between inside and outside temperatures when the
outside temperature is 0°C.
Grade 3
A motorhome with an average thermal transmittance
(u) that does not exceed 1.2w/(m2k) and which can
achieve an average temperature di󰀨erence of at least
35°C between inside and outside temperatures when the
outside temperature is -15°C.
SMOKE ALARM
Your motorhome is tted with a Fire Angel SB1 smoke
alarm. Please read the user instructions for the smoke
alarm, which are available at the following location:
www.reangel.co.uk/sb1-t-manual
The smoke alarm is operational once the battery is con-
nected. When by-products of combustion are sensed, the
unit sounds an alarm until the air is cleared.
BATTERY OPERATION
The operating light (red LED) ashes every 40 seconds
conrming that the unit is powered.
• Low Battery Warning: the unit will emit an audible
‘chirp’ once every 40 seconds for 7 days before the
battery needs to be replaced. Failure to replace the
battery will result in insu󰀩cient power to alert you in a
re.
• Sensitivity test button: tests the circuitry, battery and
horn.
SIMPLE MAINTENANCE
Your alarm requires one 9 volt battery. Under normal use,
the battery should last one year.
• Test the smoke alarm after the vehicle has been in
storage, before each trip and at least once a week
during use.
• Clean your smoke alarm once every three months to
help keep the unit working correctly; gently vacuum
using the soft brush attachment.
CARBON MONOXIDE
ALARM
Your motorhome is tted with a Fire Angel CO-9 series
Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm. Please read the user
instructions for the CO alarm, which are available at the
following location:
www.reangel.co.uk/co-9b-manual
BATTERY OPERATION
Your detector comes complete with an integrated power
pack that will provide power for its entire operational life.
To activate the power pack you need to pull the disabling
tab (see image). This will in turn pull out the metal disab-
ling clip, which is attached to the end of the tab, from the
disabling socket which is situated on the underside of the
detector.
Retain the disabling tab for future use. For long periods or
storage, the detector can be deactivated by re-inserting the
metal clip.
When the detector is activated the Power LED will begin to
ash green once every minute to indicate that the detector
is receiving power from the power pack and is fully opera-
tional.
Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry by pressing and
holding the centre of the Test/Reset button briey to con-
rm that the detector is operating properly. The sounder
will sound as soon as the button is pressed and the Alarm
LED will illuminate red indicating that
the sounder is working and the power pack is providing
power to the unit. This test for the sounder, power pack
and circuitry should be performed on a weekly basis. This
should be continued for the lifetime of the product.
As part of your annual service, a NCC approved workshop
will test the operation of the CO alarm with a ’sni󰀨er gas’ to
conrm satisfactory operation.
FAULT/LOW POWER SIGNAL
The unit continuously checks the settings of its sensor and
circuitry. If any of these settings are found to be incorrect
or if the power pack becomes low then the detector will
emit a single chirp once per minute and the Fault LED will
ash yellow once per minute for up to 30 days.
The battery in this unit is non-replaceable, so must be
replaced with a new unit.
IN THE EVENT OF AN ALARM
A loud alarm is a warning that unusually high and poten-
tially lethal levels of carbon monoxide are present. Never
ignore this alarm, further exposure can be fatal.
Immediately check residents for symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning, and contact the proper authorities to
resolve all CO problems.
NEVER IGNORE ANY ALARM.
