Interior
Some preparations must also be carried out inside the van.
Preparing the interior
• Sort loose objects and stow them in the compartments.
• Store heavy and / or voluminous objects (e.g. TV, beverage
cases) safely before you start your journey, securing them to
prevent them from shifting (
see also Chapter 3.3 “Loading” ).
• Ensure that no liquids, including those in the refrigerator,
will leak.
• Secure accelerator cylinders.
• Close all of the gas stop valves on the gas devices, with
the exception of the stop valve for the heating if the vehicle
has been equipped with a gas pressure regulator for use
while driving. (e.g. Control CS)
• Turn off interior lights.
• Secure the table and, if possible, lower it.
• Close all doors (including refrigerator door (absorber refri
-
gerator
*
), refrigerator compartment doors), drawers and
flaps tightly.
• If necessary, secure the TV mount
*
and, if possible, dis-
mantle the TV
*
and store it securely.
• Fully open the Remis Blinds
*
for the driver's cab and lock
it into place.
• Should there be a thermal curtain
*
, remove it from the
driver's cab.
Place a note with all important measures and weights in a
visible place in both the van and the driver‘s cabin.
Do not overload the vehicle! It is imperative that you not
the permissible axle loads, the technically permissible
overall mass as well as the permissible height, width and
length of the van.
Gas bottles may only be transported when they are secu -
rely fastened in the gas bottle container provided.
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation. Never cover up
built-in forced ventilation (skylights with forced ventilation
or mushroom vents). Ensure that forced ventilation is not
covered by snow or leaves as this increases the danger
of suffocation.
