Furniture
All visible parts of the furniture are plastic coated and can easily be
cleaned with a damp cloth. Doors, flaps and drawers are fitted with safety
handles so they don’t open whilst driving. To open pull the handle.
Carpet
The carpet is fully synthetic and should be cleaned using commercially
made shampoo.
Upholstery, Curtain
The cushions are composed of polyether foam. The upholstery and
curtains should be chemically cleaned, if necessary.
Windows
All double glazed windows in the living area are made from acrylic
plastic. The windows should be washed with plenty of water with added
soap or detergent. A 10% addition of detergent will prevent the build up of
static electricity and hence dust.
You should only use very soft cloth or natural chamois to rub the plastic
windows. Light scratches can be polished with brass polish. A subsequent
treatment with silver polish is recommended.
One window can be opened in several fixed positions. To close the
window, open it wide and then close properly. When driving the window
must stay closed
For winter the rubber seals for the opening windows and doors, should
occasionally be rubbed with talcum powder.
Water Supply
In the kitchen cupboard there is a 70 litre (approx) freshwater tank. The
lockable fille r cap is located outside next to the right rear side window.
Before running the water for the first time the electric
pump is switched
on by briefly pulling the black switch next to the sink. When the water is
switched on, the pump that also provides the necessary pressure, switches
itself on automatically.
The water pump must be switched off when you leave the vehicle and
(pull switch) when the tank is empty. If switched on with no water in the
system the pump will run dry.
At high temperatures and low water levels residues may form in the fresh
water tank and lines. It is therefore advisable to change the water more
frequently or to add commercial chemicals for filtration and sterilisation.
When vehicle is not being used for longer periods and in winter the entire
water system should be emptied.
Switch for water pump.
