Warning Lights & Alerts
15 habitation and cab warnings, explained. If it's a red-severity alert, act on it now — don't drive on with it.
Habitation Panel
10 alertsLeisure Battery Low
Your habitation power is running low — lights and pump will be next.
Gas / LPG Alarm Sounding
The alarm has detected LPG gas in the cabin air.
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Sounding
Potentially dangerous carbon monoxide has been detected - treat this as a genuine emergency.

The fresh tank is reading empty - the pump may run dry if you keep using taps.
Grey Waste Tank Full
The waste tank is nearly at capacity - sinks and shower will start draining slowly, or not at all.
Fridge Not Cooling / Wrong Mode
The fridge's power-source indicator suggests it isn't running on the mode you'd expect.
Mains Hook-Up / RCD Tripped
Your mains supply has cut out - the safety trip has done its job.
Water Heater Frost / Fault Warning
The water heater has flagged a fault, often frost-related if it wasn't drained down for winter.
Smoke Alarm Low-Battery Chirp
A single, regular chirp usually just means the smoke alarm's battery needs replacing.
High Damp Meter Reading (at service)
A habitation service has picked up a higher-than-normal moisture reading somewhere in the body.
Cab Dashboard
5 alertsEngine Management Light (Cab)
The base vehicle's engine isn't running quite right - same as on any car or van.
Oil Pressure Warning (Cab)
Low oil pressure can destroy a heavily-loaded engine within minutes.
Coolant Temperature Warning (Cab)
The engine is overheating - worth taking especially seriously fully loaded.
Brake System Warning (Cab)
Could be the handbrake - or something serious. A loaded motorhome needs its brakes working properly.
Tyre Pressure Warning / TPMS (Cab)
Correct tyre pressures matter more on a motorhome than almost any other vehicle on the road.
