• The maximum permissible load for the rear external
storage locker is 150 kg.
• On no account should the permissible rear axle load be
exceeded.
• Due to load removal on the front axle, it is considerably
more difficult to handle the vehicle when the rear garage
is fully loaded.
Roof load (50 kg maximum)
The height of the motor home may vary from one journey to the
next due to different roof loads.
The following applies for roof loads:
• Add the measurement of the roof load to the height of the
motor home.
• Place a not visibly in the driver's cab giving the overall height.
This saves having to calculate the height when driving under
bridges and through tunnels.
Rear garage
(model-specific)
When loading the rear garage adhere to the permissible axle
loads and the technically permissible total mass. Distribute pay-
load evenly. Excess point loads will damage the floor covering.
• Fully charge the batteries before each journey. Please refer
to the section on "Ancillary battery".
