Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.

Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, switch off all devices 
and lights, disconnect the batteries and disconnect the 240 V power 
cable from the mains. 

Only use original fuses with the stipulated values.

Only replace defective fuses when the cause of the defect is known and 
has been remedied.

Never bridge or repair fuses.

If the vehicle is not heated when there is risk of frost, empty the entire water 
system. Leave the water taps on in central position. Leave all drain cocks 
open. This will avoid frost damage to appliances and to the vehicle. 

Water left standing in the water tank or in the water pipes becomes undrink-
able after a short period. For this reason, rinse the water pipes and the 
water tank thoroughly with several litres of fresh water before each use of 
the vehicle. To do this, open all water taps. After each use of the vehicle 
completely empty the water tank and the water pipes.
