3.2.3 Fresh water
You can find water supplies in service stations when filling up with fuel. An increasing number of service points are being set
up by local authorities; use them for both filling up with fresh water and emptying your wastewater. Filling up is done using an
external nozzle fitted with a lockable cap, identified by a pictogram.
3.2.4 Gas
Starting and stopping the system
Refer to the manufacturer’s manual to start and stop the gas system.
Changing the empty bottle
Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for how to change an empty bottle. Bottles must be securely strapped in place before closing the
compartment. Gas bottle connectors differ from one country to another. Make sure that the bottle is compatible with your rubber gas
pipe before replacing the bottle when abroad.
Residual gas: no smoking or naked flames.
3.2.5 Battery
Before setting out on a trip, particularly after a long period of inactivity, check the charge on the
two batteries. To recharge the battery, connect the vehicle to the 230V mains supply for 24 hours,
having previously checked that the F1 house battery protection fuse is installed. Completely flat
batteries are less efficient (they discharge more quickly).
The battery must not be in contact with any metal object.
The battery housing must be kept closed at all times and must only contain the battery.
3.3 Practical and emergency equipment
You must have reflective vests as well as an emergency warning triangle (warning, the legislation differs from country to country;
check before you travel). Pack minimum items, such as a map, first-aid kit, toolbox, spare bulbs and fuses, water-tank filling pipe, 230V
extension lead.
