For your safety, it’s crucial to have at least one functioning photoelectric smoke alarm in the sleeping areas of your van, including the annex if you sleep there.
Traditional smoke alarms are designed for fixed, controlled environments like bedrooms or living spaces. However, the conditions inside a caravan or motorhome are constantly changing, often exposed to dust, insects, and temperature fluctuations, all of which can cause conventional smoke alarms to fail prematurely.
The Quell QC1500 caravan photoelectric sealed battery smoke alarm is specifically designed for caravans, offering superior durability to withstand the dynamic conditions you’ll encounter while traveling in your caravan or motorhome across Australia.
A smoke alarm alerts you to a fire in your van, while a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm detects the early presence of this dangerous gas, which is released from fuel-burning sources. Appliances like wood and gas heaters or cooking equipment can pose a CO risk if they malfunction or are used improperly.
Carbon monoxide, often referred to as the “silent killer,” is a colourless, tasteless, and odourless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of fuels. Inhalation of high concentrations of carbon monoxide prevents your red blood cells from carrying oxygen, which can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning—and in severe cases, even death.
Fire blankets work by cutting off the oxygen supply to a fire. Having a fire blanket in your van is a quick and effective way to smother cooking fires, protect individuals from burns, and prevent the fire from spreading throughout the van.
Never remove a fire blanket from a fire until emergency services have been contacted and the fire’s fuel source has cooled.
Accidents can occur around the campfire, so it’s recommended to keep a Quell 1.2m x 1.8m fire blanket on hand in case of clothing fires.
Fire extinguishers are designed to put out fires in their early stages, helping to prevent the fire from spreading and potentially saving lives and property.
Quell’s range of fire extinguishers come in a variety of sizes suitable for your caravan, motorhome, 4×4 or boat. Rated ABE they are suitable for use on combustible materials (A), flammable liquids (B), and electrically energised equipment (E).
When dealing with a fat (cooking oil) fire, using a fire extinguisher can cause the fat to spread, worsening the fire. In such cases, it’s recommended to use a fire blanket, which works by cutting off the fire’s oxygen supply.
Compact and versatile, the Quell Emergency Multi-Tool Flashlight is designed to fit easily in your car, caravan, truck, or boat. It’s the ideal companion for camping, hiking, fishing, and travel.
