(165 lbs) with a maximum loading of 8 kg (17

Before Moving Off
Whenever making a journey with your
motorhome, either setting off on holiday or
returning home, it is good practice to run
through this simple checklist.
1.
Close and secure all cupboards and
drawers and check any loose articles. Do
not store tins, bottles, etc. in overhead
lockers.
2.
Close and secure all windows and roof
lights.
3.
Leave all curtains and blinds open to aid
visibility.
4.
Check that gas cylinders are securely
fastened and turn off all gas appliances,
except those heating appliances
designed to function while the vehicle is
in motion. Also, ensure that the gas
locker door is securely fastened.
5.
Ensure that there is sufficient gas to meet
your needs.
6.
Switch off 230 volt supply at source,
disconnect mains cable from site supply
before disconnecting from vehicle.
Beware of potential electric shock from
wet cable. Coil cable and store in a safe
place.
7.
Check your RCD’s/MCB’s for operation.
8.
Check and if necessary, charge the
conversion battery.
9.
Check battery selection switch is in the
OFF position.
10. Check that the battery is secure and that
the battery box lid is fastened.
11. Ensure the fridge is on 12V operation
and door lock is set. (
Note:
the electrical
relays will allow the fridge to be run on
the vehicle battery when the engine is
running.)
12. Remove any external fresh water
connections etc.
13. Make sure any heavy articles are stored
in accordance with the loading
procedure. Tables should also be made
secure.
14. Lock the motorhome exterior door
(remember to take out your keys).
15. Check your external rear view mirrors
and adjust if necessary.
16. Check that all corner steadies are wound
up and that, if a step is used, it is put
away before moving off.
17. Check wheel nuts are secure and tyre
pressures are correct.
18. Ensure, if required, that your fresh water
tank is full and your waste tank is empty.
19. Referring to your base vehicle manual,
check all fluid levels including automotive
fuel and tyre pressures. Remember to
check that your spare tyre is of the
recommended pressure.
20. Ensure that, on models fitted with an
elevating roof, the roof is securely locked
down with the exterior catches applied.
21. The fridge vent covers should be fitted
when the vehicle is to be driven in order
to comply with European Type Approval
regulations for vehicle external
projections.
22. Ensure that the toilet flush tank only
contains a small amount of water (1-2
litres) in order to minimise the risk of
leaks or spillage whilst the vehicle is in
motion.
23. Check underneath the vehicle for stray
items.
24. Safely store levelling blocks away in an
appropriate place.
