ON THE ROAD
Pulling Off
Engage the clutch smoothly.
Avoid wear and tear on clutch and
transmission by taking extra care.
Change gears smoothly.
Try not to jerk the clutch.
MOTORWAY DRIVING
Speed Limits (UK)
If a speed limit is not in force, your
motorhome can be driven up to 70mph on
motorways and dual carriageways.
1. Reduce Speed:
i) In high or cross winds.
ii) Downhill.
iii) In poor visibility.
2. High sided vehicles cause air buffeting,
so extra care must be taken when
passing or being passed. As much space
as possible should be given.
Motorway Handling
Do not bump the kerb with the wheels.
When passing other vehicles allow more than
the normal clearance.
Allow longer to get up speed to pass.
Do not swing out suddenly.
Carry out all manoeuvres as smoothly as
possible.
Use nearside wing mirror to check
motorhome has cleared when overtaking.
Changing a Wheel
Refer to the vehicle handbook
WARNING: Ensure the wheel is of the same
construction and size as the one that has
been removed.
Jacking
Front and Rear - use the standard jacking
points as per the base vehicle handbook.
When changing a rear wheel raise the
vehicle to the maximum extent of the jack. In
order to clear the skirt when removing the
wheel, tilt the bottom of the wheel under the
vehicle and allow the top of the wheel to fall
outwards and clear of the hub.
Reverse the procedure to fit the new wheel.
Removing the Spare Wheel
CAUTION: Exercise care when lowering
the wheel frame due to its weight.
Removal
a. The spare is located beneath the floor at
the rear of the vehicle.
b. Toolkit is stored in bed locker.
c. Lower the spare wheel using the base
vehicle winding mechanism accessed
through a bung located in the offside
skirt. (remove threaded bung, locate jack
winder into winding mechanism and
turn).
Always use the jacking block provided
underneath jack to give enough height for
wheel removal. Place jack underneath
the chassis and follow the instructions as
shown in the base vehicle handbook.
Replacement of Spare Wheel
a. Replace retention wire.
b. Turn winder to pull cable and tyre back
into stored position.
c. Replace tools in toolkit.
Rear Step
Your motorhome has an electrically operated
rear step. In the event of the rear step being
left extended, a buzzer, positioned behind the
dashboard, will sound (when the ignition is
switched on) - and will continue to do so until
the rear step has been fully retracted.
Changing a Light Bulb
The front and rear marker lights, and the high
level brake light, are LED type and should not
normally require any attention.
To change other rear light bulbs, ease the
lamp from the back panel by pushing up the
metal tag at the bottom of the lamp with a
screwdriver. Withdraw the lamp and undo the
over-centre clip to release the bulbholder.
Change the bulb and re-assemble, ensuring
that the over-centre clip snaps into its
retaining slot. Replace the lamp in the back
panel, ensuring that it is the correct way up,
