Helpful notes

When the vehicle has been positioned, release the handbrake to prevent
freezing.
No snow walls should be allowed to cover the built-in forced ventilation.
Keep the built-in forced ventilation free from snow and ice.
Make sure the air circulation is good. Good air circulation prevents mois-
ture from collecting and makes it easier to heat the living area.
Cover the single-paned driver's cabin window with insulation mats to avoid
thermal bridges.
Follow the instructions in the section "Gas supply in European countries".
Use a two-bottle system with automatic controller for the gas system, so
that the supply does not run out during the night.
Only operate the gas system using propane gas.
Do not use the space behind the heater as a storage compartment.
Never operate catalytic ovens or infra-red gas radiators in the interior of the
vehicle, since they consume oxygen for burning.
Lay the 240 V power cable in such a way that the cable cannot be frozen
or be damaged (e.g. during snow removal).
When it is snowing heavily, clear the roof of the vehicle of snow regularly.
A few centimetres of powdery snow serves as insulation, but wet snow
quickly becomes a heavy burden.
Before embarking on the return journey, remove all the snow from the roof
to avoid impeding vehicles behind you with a "snow flag".
17.10 Travel checklists
The following checklists will help that nothing important is left at home
although not everything on the checklists might be necessary.
Do not leave checking of documents (e.g. vehicle papers and information)
as well as checking the condition of the vehicle until just before com-
mencing the trip. Planning and checking documents well in advance will
save unnecessary trouble.
