I have recently bought a used motorhome from a reputable dealer and looking forward to many happy hours of use. The extended family will be using it as well the wife and I. To ensure the safety of us all with regards to the propane LPG and electrical systems, I am seeking advice on what certification I should seeking regarding the safety of these systems. I have the usual habitation report, MOT and AA inspection. The vehicle is a 2006 Ravenna Autosleeper.

Many Thanks.

Jack Wilfred

Im sorry 001 but this is a pointless and incorrect method of testing the electrical safety of a leisure vehicle. The vehicle is equipped with all the required safety equipment to protect him and his family, and the required safety checks have been carried out and documented. `

I was asked why the engineer tested the current pull and I did not mention it was for safety reasons just to make sure things were working properly and the results DO appear on the work sheet he gives us

First thanks for explaining it in the previous e mail.I see someone else has comments,All I was going to suggest an earth leakage test to me would have been more beneficial.

Any caravan or motorhome produced in recent years has a consumer unit with some very simple control switches and buttons intended for those using the vehicle - very similar to the one we have at home in a modrn building. These include an earth leakage test button. Minature Circuit Breakers are are Double Pole and protect the user from danger. Clear user instructions and warnings are displayed on various decals and in user instruction manuals. 

Behond this, the user should not meddle.
