So you're off for an early or late season break in your caravan and it's a bit nippy, so you switch the heating system on , to get you nice and toasty warm.
You've never bothered with a gas safety check or a full service since you bought the van and you feel quite happy that all the systems are safe..........
Yest, lurking in the bottom of this wardrobe, we found an instance of when you're faith would be very misplaced.
Both the air intake and exhaust gas flues had failed completely. When the heater was switched on it was drawing its combusiton air from inside the caravan, and spilling all of its exhaust gas back into it too.
The result?
Potentially fatal carbon monoxide levels .
You may think it's safe but, unless you've had the gas system inspected, you don't know what's lurking in the bottom of your wardrobe .
