5.1 Forced and fixed ventilation

The following applies for ventilation

Proper ventilation and dehumidifying of the caravan is a prerequisite 

for ideal living comfort. Vents for draft-free forced ventilation have been 

integrated in the floor 

j

 of your caravan; for forced dehumidifying 

, they have been integrated in the roof lights. You must not interfere 
with their mode of operation

.

We recommend that you open the roof bonnets when-
ever you stay in the caravan

Cooking, wet clothing, etc., produces vapor. Every person 

loses up to 35 g of water per hour. Therefore, depending 

on the relative humidity, please ventilate and dehumidify 

through the windows and roof lights . 

Under no circumstances may the safety ventilation be 

blocked, not even slightly. 

Keep the grilles and coverings clean and dust-free.

5.2 

Opening and closing doors

Two keys that fit the entrance door are supplied together with the 

vehicle.

 

Keys

The entrance door is your escape route in an emergency. 

Never barricade the door from the inside or the outside!
The entrance door must always be kept closed and
