The following applies when getting petrol:

•  Turn off all gas devices (heating, refrigerator, etc.)!
•  Turn off all cell phones!
•  Never get anything other than diesel fuel.
•  Never mistakenly fill the fresh water tank with fuel.

Saving energy in winter

It is very easy to save energy inside your mobile home. This
applies especially to heating in winter.

The following applies for saving energy:

• Meter the exact use of ventilation in the vehicle and the

heating valve.

• Install winter mats on the inner sides of the driver‘s cabin

and the windscreen (not included in scope of delivery).

• Install an insulation mat between the driver‘s cabin and the

caravan (not included in scope of delivery).

• Use aluminium-coated window mats and window blinds.

These offer protection against both the cold and the heat.

• Open the door as little and as briefly as possible.
• When camping in winter, it is possible to put up a small tent

in front of the vehicle as protection against the cold.
