Introduction
Owners Handbook :
Your motorhome is designed to give many years
of use as a leisure purpose vehicle and not as
a permanent residence. Regular maintenance
however will not only ensure trouble free service, but
will also enhance your vehicles value.
Your supplying dealer is responsible for all aspects
of your customer care. We would suggest that
you make a note of the dealers name and contact
information in the dedicated space in the front of
this handbook as this would speed up the process
of answering any queries you may have. Should
you require assistance, your supplying dealer is fully
conversant with the correct procedures that should
be followed to get any issues resolved in a timely
manner.
For total piece of mind all Auto-Trail vehicles are
supplied with a comprehensive warranty for vehicles
registered in the UK. Please ensure that your
supplying dealer has fully explained all aspects of
the terms and conditions of your vehicle warranty
and the necessary servicing requirements.
Please refer to the base vehicle handbook for
matters relating to the motorhome as a road going
vehicle (e.g. lubricant levels, service intervals etc…).
Notes on private exporting of vehicles
Auto Trail Motorhomes are designed and
manufactured to operate in a specific country or
region and therefore it is imperative that when
purchasing a new vehicle, the buyer should be
completely aware of the design and operating
parameters of the product. Vehicles purchased in
the UK are not only built to the necessary European
Directives and Standards (e.g. ECWVTA – Type
approval), but also are equipped with components
that are designed to operate in a typical European
temperate climate.
Should a customer choose to export a registered
vehicle from the UK, or purchase a vehicle from
a nonaligned dealership outside the UK, it is
their responsibility to ensure that any required
modifications have been completed to the correct
standard, and that the vehicle complies with all
legislation of the country in which the vehicle is
to be registered. Any equipment that is operated
in a country that it is not designed for will either
not perform correctly and could possibly fail. This
equipment may also not be covered by the appliance
manufacturer’s warranty.
Similarly, Auto-trail vehicles are designed to be used
on normal tarmacadam roads, with occasional off
road campsite use. Should a vehicle be used outside
of these conditions, the vehicle could suffer undue
load, stress and ingress of debris and therefore
Auto-trail will not be held liable for any such failure
and as a result any applicable warranty will be void.
Modifications To Your Vehicle
Please check with your supplying dealer before
carrying out any modifications to your vehicle.
Any unauthorised modifications carried out by
a third party could effect the terms of your
warranty agreement.
We would always advise that you consult your
dealer before any additional equipment is fitted
to your vehicle to ensure the appropriate fixing
support is available.
Never allow modifications of electrical or LPG
systems and appliances except by qualified persons.
Care should be taken to ensure that any additional
equipment or appliances are installed with the
appliance / equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Appliance Maintenance
In the interest of safety, replacement parts for
an appliance shall conform to the appliance
manufacturers specifications, and should
be fitted by him or his authorised agent.
