become very cold. Whenever possible, put
the heating on at a low level before use by
pre heating in cold weather.
h. Even with reasonable ventilation it is likely
if the temperature is less than 5oC and
the humidity is high that condensation will
occur. Ideally the temperature should be
kept about 20oC when occupied.
Mould Growth
Any sign of mould growth is an indication of
the presence of moisture and if caused by
condensation gives warning that heating or
ventilation may require improving.
New vehicles
New products take a long time before they are
fully ‘dried out’ because of the moisture in the
materials used during manufacture. While this
is happening extra heat and ventilation will be
required.
Changing Exterior Bulbs
ALWAYS REPLACE LIKE FOR LIKE
For individual replacement bulb specification,
refer to your base vehicle Handbook.
Generally road lighting bulbs can be easily
replaced by unscrewing and removing the lens
from the exterior of the caravan or motorhome.
REAR ROAD LIGHT CLUSTERS
Bulb access is from the rear of the cluster.
Please see the Fiat handbook for specific
details of the clusters and individual lights
contained within them.
The rear road light clusters are secured to the
rear of the motorhome via nuts located on the
rear of the cluster. To access these fixing nuts,
an internal panel must be removed.
Two angled panels can be found at the rear
of the motorhome, close to the rear door
hinges. In the upper sections of these panels,
a removable section exists (the removable
panel may also house remote thermostats, light
switches etc).
To remove the panel, first locate single screw
cover caps at the top of the panel, using a flat
bladed screwdriver or similar. Removing the
screws will then allow the panel to be pulled up
away from the corner of the vehicle, exposing
a void with access to the rear of the lamp
clusters.
Reverse the procedure and push fit the screw
cover cap back into place once complete.
Interior
Follow these guidelines to ensure your
investment is receiving the very best attention.
Side Walls, Roof Lining
A simple wipe over with a damp cloth and a very
mild detergent is all that is needed.
Soft Furnishings
Should be vacuumed occasionally to
remove grit and sand and help to keep
its smart appearance and ensure long
life. The upholstery can be cleaned with
a mild, reputable upholstery cleaner. It is
recommended that the curtains and pelmets
are specialist cleaned only. The foam used
in cushions are manufactured to meet fire
regulations. It requires time to return to its
normal position after prolonged use.
Clean and dust the upholstery and if possible
remove before placing the Motorhome into
winter storage. Alternatively, stand the cushions
on their edges to allow circulation of air. This
will reduce the possibility of dampness from
condensation. Keep curtains or blinds closed,
to minimise fading of furniture.
If the blinds and/or flyscreens remain down for
a prolonged period of time, re-tensioning of the
springs will be necessary before re-use.
Leather care
• Leather furniture, if fitted in your vehicle,
requires little maintenance. Regular care of
leather does ensure its lasting quality and
some general rules for regular cleaning and
maintenance are:
• Clean the leather with a soft damp cloth
taking care not to soak the leather
• For a more thorough clean, use the Bridge
of Weir Leather cleaning and protection kit
available directly from the distribution centre
• Do not use saddle soap, wax polishes or
spray polishes
