LIVING IN YOUR MOTORHOME
VENTILATION
• The amount of oxygen present inside your motorhome is
reduced in proportion to the number of occupants and heating
and stove use. Oxygen is replaced by carbon dioxide, a toxic
and sometimes lethal gas. The air inside the motor home must
be constantly recirculated throughout the day.
• Condensation may form inside the double glass windows
during winter. This phenomenon is perfectly normal and the
condensation will be eliminated as the outside temperature
increases.
• Ensure continuous air circulation inside your motorhome in
all seasons, especially when the outside temperature is very
low so that you avoid the formation of condensation wherever
possible. With regular air circulation during cold periods in
proportion to the amount of heating used, you can achieve
a comfortable environment inside your motorhome. During
hot periods, especially with extremely high temperatures, hot
air tends to remain inside the motorhome. Ventilate often by
opening doors, windows and the skylight.
• Your motorhome is fitted with fixed air vents which should not
be obstructed. These vents are located in some skylights on
the roof and on the inside of the entrance step (Fig. 1 and 2)

ATTENTION
Do not obstruct or cover the air vents.
CAUTION
Providing additional ventilation is essential whilst
cooking, e.g. by opening the windows near the grill, the
stove and the oven. Do not use cooking appliances as
space heaters.
