positioning the motorhome
note: Check and observe site regulations.
Keep to roadways unless otherwise directed.
Adhere to speed limits. Note that these are
generally 10mph.
Remember that the stopping distance
on grass is considerably greater than
on tarmac
Only a person in possession of a current driving
licence may drive on the site.
Selecting a pitch
Do not pitch in such a position that your
motorhome will obstruct others coming in.
Try to choose an area which is dry, reasonably
level and preferably with a hard base.
If you have no alternative but to pitch on a
slope try to ensure that you are facing down
the slope, for when you leave.
Levelling the motorhome
Levelling must be carried out in both directions
for the refrigerator and other equipment to
function correctly. Stepped levelling boards or
proprietary ramps are ideal for
this purpose.
Drop down corner steadies
To lower corner steadies, disengage steady by
sliding it towards centre of van, lower steady
then release lower section of the steady to
reach the ground, insert the bar provided to
crank the steady down.
DO NOT use the steadies as a jack, they are
only a means of stabilising the rear of the
motorhome. Levelling pads or boards should
be used under the steadies where the ground
is soft or uneven.
Awnings and Tents
Awnings and tents should only be used when
permission has been obtained. When on grass
and staying for more than a few days the
ground sheet and/or side flaps of awnings
should be periodically raised in order to avoid
damage to the ground.
