4.1 Safety checks before departure
Before taking to the road, systematically check the proper functioning of any signalling devices (indicators, main-beam,
dipped, warning headlights, horn, etc.).
Your motorhome is always ready to take the road. There are no other specific road preparations to be made. However, some
precautions are necessary to avoid incidents.
• Check that all taps and valves are closed
• Lock the refrigerator door
• Close the doors to the wardrobe and bathroom
• Close the side windows
• Close the sun roof and the rooflights
• Lock the cupboards
• Close all drawers
• Do not leave items on the tables and kitchen work-surface
• Check that all the functions on the control panel are off
• Pull up the entrance step (electric or manual locking depending on the model)
• Close the living area door
• Disconnect the exterior 230 V power cable
• Put the refrigerator to the 12 V position (only functions when the engine is running)
Close the gas bottles and gas-powered appliances before leaving, except for vehicles
equipped with the gas system allowing the heater to be used while driving.
