Exterior (Body / Chassis)
• Ensure that all windows, skylights and access
doors are closed and secured.
• Ensure all fixed ventilation points (high and
low) are clear from debris and obstructions.
• Ensure the vehicle is not parked where falling
debris (i.e. leaves, tree sap) could cause
damage.
• Avoid leaving the vehicle parked in soft
ground, long grass or a potential area where
standing water may form.
Wheels and Tyres
• Do not store in one position with partially
deflated tyres. The tyre walls will suffer
and do present a real danger of blow outs,
especially when travelling at faster speeds
than are allowed in the UK. The wheels
should be turned every couple of weeks.
If you are removing the wheels, follow the
jacking procedure for changing a wheel.
Check your tyres regularly for signs of age and
deterioration, particularly wear, cracking and
blistering. If in doubt consult a reputable tyre
fitter.
• A purpose made cover maybe used, but please
ensure the cover is a good fit, breathable and
securely fitted.
CAUTION: A poorly fitted cover can rub
and damage the bodywork. Non-breathable
covers will encourage mould to grow.
Interior (Furniture / furnishings)
• Open all lockers and internal doors, to ensure
good circulation.
• Remove cushions and store them in a dry
location or ensure all cushions are placed in a
well ventilated area.
• Close all blinds and curtains. Customers are
reminded to check the tension on blinds after
storage if left closed for long periods.
• Thoroughly ventilate the campervan by
opening doors or windows periodically.
• Placing water absorbent crystals in the van
during the winter months, will help reduce
moisture levels and mould growth.
• We do not recommend leaving portable
heaters in the van unattended.
Recomissioning the Water System
It is advisable, after a period of non-use, to flush
the water system with a sterilising fluid such
as Milton 2. Fill the fresh water tank with water
and sterilising fluid (Refer to sterilising fluid
instructions for the amount to use).
Check that the quick release plumbing
connections are re-made on the pump, turn the
pump on and open all the taps, ensuring that the
water drains away safely to the waste tank.
When the waste tank is full empty the fluid into
a designated waste water area. Re-fill the tank
with fresh water and flush through the system
as described above; repeat this until all traces of
the sterilising fluid have been flushed out. (See
section 7.2 and the end of 7.4.
Prepare the toilet system by following the steps
laid out in the Dometic toilet instructions.
Appliances
Before starting using the campervan after
storage, check all gas appliances and electrical
points.
i
Note:
Preferably not less than once a year,
the electrical installation should be inspected
and tested by a qualified electrician.
After storage it is advisable to air the Campervan
and clean throughout, especially cooking
appliances and the refrigerator.
Replace the bedding if they were removed for
storage.
CAUTION
: Always follow the manufacturers
recommended procedures after use of fitted
equipment in the Campervan, before storing
for any length of time.
