Dometic has announced the potential dangers of using proprietary LPG stoves commonly found in motorhomes and caravans.

Dometic - service action

The problem concerns the potential risk of leaks on hoses and / or reducers. During the operation of defective products, an undefined amount of gas may escape, which in turn may lead to ignition in the vicinity of the reducer , and in the worst case to an explosion of the gas-air mixture. Below you will find sample photos of the affected products and a list of the manufacturer's exact references. The model designation can be found on the rating plate or (if the above proves impossible), such information should be provided by the dealer from whom we purchased the vehicle.

I have one of the products on the list - what should I do?

The manufacturer ensures that he has no confirmed information on accidents caused by this defect, but strongly advises against using the devices until the problem is resolved. Turn off the gas supply valve to the stove and leave it closed. Dometic emphasizes that decisions to replace / repair or return the product will be made efficiently and easily for the user in consultation with the seller / dealer.

Fan of large vehicles, mountain biking and traveling without weight and financial restrictions. At CampRest, I am responsible for all publications on automotive topics.

Necessary in a motorhome - chargers and power adapters

The necessary elements of the motorhome's equipment include an electrician - batteries, generators or alternative energy sources, ensuring comfort and safety of the trip. There should also be a practical charger and power adapter on board the camping vehicle. What are their tasks? About it below!. Probably every motorhome owner has found out that the battery can play a trick at the least expected moment of the trip. It is worth remembering that it can be discharged both while the engine is running and when the vehicle is stationary. Hence, the systematic charging of the battery has a key impact on the smooth operation of the vehicle, and also on its service life. In order to avoid reducing the efficiency of the cell by excessive consumption or undercharging of the battery, it is worth remembering to purchase a special charger with a trickle charge function. In stores with camping accessories , we can find a wide range of chargers for motorhomes and caravans. Particularly noteworthy are the high-quality Dometic models from the Perfect Charge series, available in several current options (including 7A / 12V, 12.5A / 24V, 15A, 12V, 25A / 12V, 35A / 12V, 40A / 24V) . Modern motorhome chargers automatically adapt to the state of charge of the battery, have multi-stage charging technology and are equipped with a special start-stop function that ensures optimal charging of acid, gel and AGM batteries. The wide range of input voltage allows the charger to be used almost anywhere in the world. Thanks to special overload protection, these chargers do not adversely affect the battery life. Their compact and lightweight design with built-in space for cables makes them quick and hassle-free to install. Intuitive one-button operation is an additional advantage. When deciding to buy a motorhome charger, it is also worth taking a look at useful accessories. The sale includes, among others, remote controls and temperature sensors for chargers.

Not only awnings!

Appetite grows with eating. It is similar with the amenities useful at the campsite. Once we have an awning that will provide basic protection against sun or rain, we can consider that it is not enough. Additional protection can be provided by the vestibule, and various accessories will make your rest even more enjoyable. We recently wrote about Dometic awnings, but the awning itself may not be enough if you dream of a shaded corner. When we already have a canopy in the form of an awning, a great temptation is the possibility of additional walls that will allow you to organize additional space around the motorhome or caravan.

Freedom to travel away from 230 V mains

Traveling in a camper or car with a trailer has many advantages, but it may also involve some inconveniences. We are accustomed to using many electrical devices on a daily basis and it is difficult for us to imagine that we would suddenly give up all of them. Fortunately, there are ways to minimize this problem. We talk about electricity in a camper with Grzegorz Michalak from Dometic Poland. Camprest: How can you run, for example, a hair dryer and a coffee machine, i.e. devices that consume a lot of electricity during operation, in a camper that is not connected to the 230 V network?.
