Safety
Passenger Transportation
Since ANKA300 does not have a seat belt, it should not be traveled
in ANKA300 while driving in order to balance the weight distribution.
Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve handling and stopping.
Tools and Equipment
Appliances (stove, refrigerator, etc.) and equipment (hot water
heater, oven, etc.) typically run on LPG. LPG is flammable and is
under high pressure. Misuse may cause fire and/or explosion. Be
sure to follow all instructions and warnings in the manual, as well as
in the device and equipment specific user manuals.
Mold
Mold and mildew spores are present in indoor and outdoor
environments. Check humidity to keep all mold and mildew spores
indoors under control. Ventilate your caravan regularly. A healthy
ventilation should be provided to control humidity.
Chemical Sensitivity
Immediately after the ANKA300 is purchased, and sometimes after
a long period of inactivity, a strong odor and/or chemical sensitivity
may be experienced. As in houses, These products can outgas
different chemicals, including formaldehyde, when new or when
exposed to high temperatures and/or humidity. This outgassing,
along with minimal air exchange, can cause irritation of the eyes,
nose, and throat, and sometimes headaches, nausea, and various
asthma-like symptoms. The elderly and young children, as well as
anyone with a history of asthma, allergies or lung problems, may be
more sensitive to the effects of gassing.
Ventilation
It is very important to ventilate the ANKA300 to reduce exposure to
chemicals from outgassing. Ventilation should be done frequently
after purchase and when temperatures and humidity rise. Note that
gas output is accelerated by heat and humidity. Open windows,
vents and doors. Use natural ventilation or a fan to expel stale air
and bring in fresh air. Reducing airflow by sealing the ANKA300
increases the formaldehyde level in the vehicle's interior air.
Do not smoke
It is recommended that you do not smoke inside the ANKA300. It
will damage ANKA300 and also release formaldehyde and other toxic
chemicals.

Tips for Checking Condensation
Uses where it is important to let excess moisture out:
- Bathroom
- Washing dishes
- Hair drying
- Cooking
Avoid dead air spaces as shown!
- Use of a fan to ensure air circulation.
- Leaving cabinets and cabinet doors partially open.
- Keep the temperature as reasonably cool as possible to help
alleviate condensation in cold weather.
- ANKA300 needs to breathe, it will smell when airtight.
- Let some warm air out and outside air in.
- Do not allow humid indoor air to be recycled from use and
provide reasonable ventilation.
Factors Contributing to Mold Growth
For mold growth to occur, indoor or outdoor temperatures must be
between 4° and 33°C, and it must also have a source of moisture
such as humidity, stagnant water, moist materials. The fastest
growth inside ANKA300 is due to its hot and humid condition.
Medical Advice
Questions about the effects of formaldehyde on your health should
be addressed to your doctor or local health department.
Long-Term Use Effects
- In long-term use of ANKA300, it is necessary to be prepared for
condensation and humid conditions that may be encountered.
- In cold weather, when the relative humidity of the indoor air is
high, moisture may condense on the inner surfaces of ANKA300.
This is exacerbated by the fact that ANKA300's insulated walls
are much thinner than house walls.
The relatively small volume and tight, compact nature of the
ANKA300 mean that even a few passengers' normal living
activities will lead to rapid moisture saturation.
-Water vapor will condense as moisture inside windows and
walls, or as frost or ice in cold weather, unless it is carried
outside by ventilation or condensed with a dehumidifier.
- Inside the walls or ceiling, warped or stained panels can also
condense out of sight.
- The appearance of these conditions can indicate a serious
problem. When signs of excessive humidity and condensation
appear on the ANKA300, it is important to take action to
minimize their effects.

Inhibition of Mold Growth
- Checking relative humidity can prevent mold and mildew growth.
- The use of air conditioners in hot climates will reduce the relative
humidity.
- Ventilation is available in the kitchen area.
- To prevent mold growth, using vents when preparing food is an
important factor, even in cold weather.
- Also, opening windows during these activities will help with
(natural) ventilation.
- In extremely humid conditions, using a dehumidifier may help.
- Regular cleaning of mold, which is caused by frequent use of
ANKA300 and/or growing, is an important preventive measure.
- Any spills should be wiped up quickly and dried as soon as
possible.
- Avoid leaving damp items lying around.
- On safe surfaces, use mold or mildew-killing cleaning products.
- Check the sealing wicks regularly and reseal as necessary to
prevent water leaks.
- Proper preventive maintenance of the ANKA300 and its
accessories, as described in both this manual and accompanying
literature, will provide the best protection for the ANKA300.
Winter Travel
Traveling in sub-freezing temperatures will require certain
precautions to protect the plumbing system and personal
belongings from damage by freezing.
It is necessary to clear the snow accumulations on the pop-up.
Whenever possible, the heat should be kept at a constant
temperature.
It is easier for the heater to keep the room temperature constant
than to let the ANKA300 temperature drop to 10°C and then try to
raise it to room temperature.
When parking in temperatures below freezing, be sure to have a
full supply of LPG or Diesel and plug into a 220V power source
whenever possible.
In order to allow hot air to circulate around plumbing lines and
fixtures; leave cabinet doors, wardrobes and bedroom doors
partially open.
