For winter driving, and particularly for driving on snow, you
should use the same rules for a camping car as for a private
car, in other words drive very smoothly without sudden
acceleration or braking.
In any case, your camping car will tend to hold the road better
than a car, simply because it is heavier, and therefore grips
the road better. It will lose its grip later than a car, but when it
does skid, it will be much more difficult to control, therefore
TAKE CARE.
You must put chains before driving on thick snow, but before
driving on snow for the first time it is good idea to install the
chains at home in peace. It can only be easier than when you
really need them, often when it is snowing.
The most difficult problem to solve in the living compartment
during winter use is condensation.
The keyword to prevent the condensation phenomenon is
AERATION. Particularly in the winter, do not close the bottom
or top aeration systems in your camping car.
Another important point for the comfort during winter use
is the waste water tank which must not freeze. Add either
antifreeze, or salt, or alcohol to lower the freezing point.
n.B.:
An optional heating element can be installed by your dealer.
