Smoke alarms compulsory for caravans

Smoke alarms compulsory for caravans


CARAVAN owners will now have to install smoke alarms in their homes on wheels.
The new regulation came into force yesterday, requiring residents and holiday-makers “in all moveable dwellings where people sleep” to fit the alarms.

Site vans and backyard caravans are covered by the new regulation, which also requires a “hush” button, to reduce the nuisance of false alarms from cooking.
The move will affect caravans in holiday parks around the state – though many park managers are ahead of the game.
