Care
11
11.4.3 At the end of the winter season
Thoroughly clean the underbody of the vehicle and the engine. When this
is done, corrosion-inducing anti-freeze agents (salts, alkaline residues) are
removed.
Clean the exterior and use regular car wax to protect metal surfaces.
11.5 Lay-up
11.5.1 Temporary lay-up
Before laying up the vehicle, go through the following checklist:
If the vehicle has been stationary for a long period (approx. 10 months)
have the braking and gas systems checked by an authorised specialist
workshop.
Take into consideration that water is undrinkable after only a short time.
Activities Done
Base vehicle
Completely fill fuel tank. This prevents corrosion damage within the
fuel tank system
Jack up vehicle so that the wheels do not bear any load, or move ve-
hicle every 4 weeks. This prevents any pressure points from occur-
ring on tyres and wheel bearings
Protect the tyres from direct exposure to the sun. Danger of forma-
tion of cracks!
Inflate tyres up to the recommended maximum pressure
Always provide for sufficient ventilation in the underbody area
Humidity or lack of oxygen e.g. by covering with plastic film
may cause optical irregularities to the underbody.
Body All vents should be sealed with the appropriate caps and all other
openings (apart from forced ventilations) should also be sealed. This
prevents animals (e.g. mice) from gaining entry
Interior Place upholstery in an upright position for ventilation, and cover
Clean refrigerator
Allow refrigerator and freezer compartment doors to remain slightly
open
Disconnect the flat screen from the mains and, if necessary, remove
from the motorhome
Gas system Close regulator tap on the gas bottle
Close all gas isolator taps
Always remove gas bottles from the gas bottle compartment, even if
they are empty
Electrical system Fully charge living area and starter battery
Charge the battery for at least 20 hours before laying up.
Set battery cut-off switch to off
