Flamingo Brand Smoke Alarms

[Stewart J]

Those with newer Hymers that have the Flamingo branded smoke alarms fitted, this Status branded one is a exact copy and fits into the baseplate perfectly. At £9.99 it’s a bargain even comes with a cheapo battery very fast courier delivery as well.

Never seen a Hymer with a smoke alarm fitted, is it something UK dealers do?

I don't like those big ugly ones I have a Fire Angle Atom in my van, its very small and it's optical less than 50mm dia. I don't think Fire Angle market it anymore but is available from other suppliers.

It’s a legal requirement, along with a CO alarm, for all UK registered Motorhomes and caravans.

Adria supply them but I think they arrive via the UK office and are not fitted. In 2012 it was just smoke alarm but I think by 2013 it was both, or shortly thereafter

I've never bought one in the UK.

That's interesting, i have a uk reg 2018 rapido with niether alarm fitted at purchase. I fitted a co alarm.
I noticed a mention of no smoke alarm in one habitation report.

 

[Lenny HB]

I don't think it's a legal requirement just the NCC that require it. A lot of foreign converters don't bother with NCC approval.

 

[royandsharont]

Possibly right there Lenny HB. I thought it was a legal requirement and have also seen it on the NCC habitation inspection forms

Actually Lenny, it's Fire Angel. To help you remember the word, just think of moi
You know I'm a little Angel.

So should the dealer have fitted them?

Hymers sold in the UK come with a smoke alarm. I suspect it is fitted by Hymer, not the dealer, because they all seem to be the same type. Mine did not come with a CO alarm but I installed one.

Not sure that either is a legal requirement. I think they are a requirement of the UK caravan trade body, the NCC.

I think of you every day Phil, when I look at the sheep in the field next to our house.

Can anyone recommend a dual sensor alarm which doen't go off every time you turn a gas ring on? I bought one and fitted it then has a voice saying fire evertime we cooked. Got so fed up I removed the batteries

I’ve been retired now for over 10 years, when I was at work I did all the local council call-outs, so many faulty smoke alarms, £25.00 a call-out, I was making a fortune, the smoke alarms “Firex”
