Carbon Monoxide poisoning


After a days work(dirty work for some people) staying at Lamaroo caravan Park, I picked up this New Zealand Motor Caravanner Mag

I have just finished reading about 13 people have died since 1975 from this while in their caravan at night (they were older vans) and no Carbon monoxide detectors which most vans have in NZ

3 people were near victims but thank god one of the guys managed to get their door and windows open in time

Cause:

The fridges had inadequate venting to the outside and lacked proper sealing inside. The gas cookers had what was known as lightback.I am sure all our vans in Aust are okay but you need to be aware.

 

Okay, I am off for my bike ride as sitting still is not my middle name. Life is great, plenty of work at Pirelli Spud farm if anyone is interested.

Fork lift licence is a must on the road as their are plenty of jobs.
