z
During the cold time of the year observe filling with propane gas component
(butane does not gas below 0 °C).
z
Use blue bottles from the firm Campingaz (distributed world-wide). Only
use gas bottles with safety valves.
z
When bottles from other countries are used, check the gas bottle compart-
ments to see if the gas bottles fit into them. Gas bottles from other countries
do not always display the same size as your own gas bottles.
17.6 Toll regulations in European countries
Many European countries have introduced a mandatory toll system. The toll
regulations and how they are collected vary greatly from country to country.
Nevertheless, ignorance is no excuse. Penalties can be quite severe.
As is the case with traffic regulations, the vehicle driver is required to be
familiar with the toll formalities before starting out on a trip. For example, in
Austria the vignette does not meet the toll requirements for vehicles that weigh
more than 3.5 t. There, a so-called "Go-Box" must be obtained and charged.
Contact your automobile club or the Internet for further information.
17.7 Tips on staying overnight safely during travel
Prudent behaviour is the most important protective measure for insuring a safe
night in the motorhome.
The risk of thievery is reduced to a minimum when the following basic rules
are observed:
z
Before commencing the journey, close and lock all windows, doors and
skylights.
z
During high season do not spend the night at highway rest stops or parking
areas located along typical vacation routes.
z
Several vehicles on one site at the same time do not necessarily decrease
the chances of thievery occurring. Consult your own feelings about the
parking site.
z
Even if it is just for one night, go to a camping site.
z
When parking on open space keep emergency routes clear. The way to the
driver's seat should be clear. The ignition key should always be within
reach.
z
Only take with you those valuables which are absolutely necessary for the
journey. If possible, store valuables in a small safe and not in the immediate
vicinity of windows or doors.
z
Always lock up the vehicle.
17.8 Tips for winter campers
The following tips will help make your winter camping experience as agreeable
as possible.
z
Reserve your parking place in good time. Good winter camping sites are
often booked up early.
z
Do not start your trip without winter tyres.

Bring snow chains.

Windscreens with solar filters can affect the functioning of automatic toll

acquiring the appropriate device (e.g. Split-Go-Box).
