Tips on commissioning
BEFORE STARTING OFF
2-2
Find out about the following before starting
your journey:
necessary documents
legal regulations concerning maximum
speeds and prohibitions on overtaking
electrical supply standard
where to make overnight stops
The ADAC can also supply information with
regard to the relevant regulations concerning
overnight stops outside camping sites, speed
limits etc. in the country you plan to visit.
Correct loading of your mobile home
As a basic principle, the heaviest items
should be as near the floor as possible.
Therefore store heavy objects in this area.
Make sure the load is balanced between the
left and right sides.
Objects in the top cupboards should also be
protected against slipping.
Do not exceed the maximum load for the
cycle rack (special accessory) and the
permissible roof load of 150 kg.
Please make sure that cycles are well
secured and tied. After driving for a short
distance, stop and check that nothing has
moved.
In the interests of safety you should have the
vehicle and passengers weighed before the
start of the journey.
Wing mirrors
You will find large wing mirrors on both sides
of your vehicle. Before starting out on your
first journey you should adjust these and if
necessary correct them after a short distance.
Travelling and overnight stops
In general it is allowed to make overnight
stops in car parks in Germany - at least for
one night. However, camping tables, chairs
etc. or other items should not be placed
outside to give the impression of "camping
out". Specialist magazines and camping
guides contain useful information, or you can
contact the CIVD club to find out about
districts which welcome caravans and
mobile homes, rules for waste water disposal
etc. Different rules apply abroad with regard
to mobile homes and overnight stops.
