12.4 Lay-up
12.4.1 Temporary lay-up
Before laying up the vehicle, go through the following checklist:

After the vehicle has been standing for a longer period (approx. 10
months) have the braking and gas systems checked by an authorised
specialist workshop.

Take into consideration that water is undrinkable after only a short time.
Activities done
Base vehicle Completely fill fuel tank. This can prevent corrosion to the tank sys-
tem
Jack up the vehicle so that the wheels do not bear any load, or move
the vehicle every 4 weeks. This prevents any pressure points from
occurring on tyres and wheel bearings
Protect the tyres from direct exposure to the sun. Danger of formati-
on of cracks!
Inflate tyres up to the recommended maximum pressure
Always provide for sufficient ventilation in the underbody area

Humidity or lack of oxygen e.g. by covering with plastic film
may cause optical irregularities to the underbody.
Also observe the specifications in the operating instructions of the
base vehicle
Interior
Place upholstery in an upright position for ventilation, and cover
Clean refrigerator
Allow refrigerator and freezer compartment doors to remain slightly
open
Gas system
Close regulator tap on the gas bottle
Close all gas isolator taps
Always remove gas bottles from the gas bottle compartment, even if
they are empty
Electrical system
Fully charge living area and starter battery

Charge the battery for at least 20 hours before laying up.
Disconnect the living area battery from the 12 V power supply
Water system Empty the entire water system. Blow out the residual water from the
water pipes (0.5 bar max.). Leave the water taps on in central positi-
on. Leave the safety/drainage valve (if available) and all drain cocks
open. Observe the notes in Chapter 8
If the transformer/rectifier is switched off using the battery cut-off
switch, the safety/drainage valve opens and the water drains.
 If the safety/drainage valve is switched off, the water
system is no longer protected sufficiently against frost.
Check all the water tapping points as well as kitchen, bath, shower,
and toilet for leakage.
