In our house we cook on a (natural gas) oven & Hobbs - there isn't an externat outlet for fumes & seem to do us no harm . . . Whereas caravan/motorhome ovens are externally vented . . . Why ? What is the different byproducts released ? I always thought they both gave off carbon monoxide ?

It's alright, Gnomey, don't panic, I'll step up and be the knowall.
The cooker in my van doesn't have an external flue. It has an extractor above, but the cooker has open burners just like a domestic one.
The heating system, however, does have an external flue, again just like a domestic system. The heating works via a heat exchanger, passing heat from one chamber (burner) through a steel barrier to another chamber (water and/or air) which are connected to the interior of the van. A heating system could run for hours, and to have all that carbon monoxide enterring the breathing space would be harmful. A cooker is on for limited periods. If the weather is nice my door is open. If inclement weather, the extractor is running. A house has much greater internal volume to dilute gas buildup than a MH has.
No, don't thank me. This has been a public service contribution from Tugboat Towers.
Any queeries questions about nuclear fusion, let me know.
Fark, I need a lie-down.

Bloody hell Vic there's a name from the past. We don't see you on fucts (mhf) anymore. Welcome to the nut house. Where's your benky warlock avatar? I can't answer your question sadly and no one will be along in a minute with an answer, least not one that makes any sense.

Feck me! I was wrong. Captain Bogwash has provided a sensible answer. Dislicks all round for him. He's just making it up Vic.

If you are worried regarding Tugger's in-depth explanation don't panic as Fruitcakes to offer an exclusive oxygen filtering system that has been developed to protect its members from harmful gas fumes that are used by Johnnie Foreigner to incapacitate the unwary traveler on Le Continent. this personal protection equipment can be also used to filter harmful fumes whilst cooking or emptying the Thetford (if you are foolish enough to de-valuate your van by using it). Entry model £99.99 (plus Vat , postage, commission) Deluxe model £999.99 (plus Vat, postage and commission).

That's excellent, thank you Terry. I've been really, really worried about all the reports of people being gassed while they're sleeping in the motorhomes in France... But your superb-value "Fruitcake Products Inc" items have put my mind at rest...

But your superb-value "Fruitcake Products Inc" items have put my mind at rest... Don't mention this outside of the forum but I would go for the deluxe version as Tuggers normally provides the filters for the basic model from his old underpants. Whilst this does stop any ingress of the the fumes it does provide it's own health hazards...

Why is Vicdicdoc so called?
I assume his name is Victor and he's a urologist.
Any of you chaps got problems with your willies? Apart from them being too small?

My opinion. Home gas pipes are not subject to road viberation and are made of more solidder stuff.and is not in as confinderered space. Wereas motorhomey pipes are in a confided space and Are made of crap stuff. Plus if it all does goes boom in a home you are probably a greater distance away than you would be in a camper thing. So therefor wouldn't be toasted.
No need to than me .

I'll heed your advice an' won't tell anybody else 'cos I wanna see all the people wearing Tuggsie's old underpants half an inch from their hooters... an' taking bets on which way they keel over!
