
Before commencing the journey, close and lock all windows, doors and
skylights.

During high season do not spend the night at highway rest stops or parking
areas located along typical vacation routes.

Several vehicles on one site at the same time do not necessarily decrease
the chances of thievery occurring. Consult your own feelings about the
parking site.

Even if it is just for one night, go to a camping site.

Only take with you those valuables which are absolutely necessary for the
journey. If possible, store valuables in a small safe and not in the immediate
vicinity of windows or doors.

Always lock up the vehicle.
17.9 Tips for winter campers
The following tips will help make your winter camping experience as agreeable
as possible.

Reserve your parking place in good time. Good winter camping sites are
often booked up early.

Do not start your trip without winter tyres.

Choose your parking place with care. Observe the ground beneath you.
Snow and ice may melt.

Place boards of a sufficient size under the jockey wheel and the corner
steadies to prevent then from sinking when the snow thaws.

When the vehicle has been positioned, release the handbrake to prevent
freezing.

Protect the handbrake lever and the accumulator against frost with protec-
tive covers.

No snow walls should be allowed to cover the built-in forced ventilation.

Protect the gas bottle compartment against freezing with a protective
cover.

Do not leave waste water in the tank but drain it into a bucket.

Keep the built-in forced ventilation free from snow and ice.

Make sure the air circulation is good. Good air circulation prevents mois-
ture from collecting and makes it easier to heat the living area.

Follow the instructions in the section "Gas supply in European countries".

Use a two-bottle system with automatic controller for the gas system, so
that the supply does not run out during the night.

Only operate the gas system using propane gas.

Do not use the space behind the heater as a storage compartment.

Never operate catalytic ovens or infra-red gas radiators in the interior of the
vehicle, since they consume oxygen for burning.

Lay the 230 V power cable in such a way that the cable cannot be frozen
or be damaged (e.g. during snow removal).

Use a winter awning.

When it is snowing heavily, clear the roof of the vehicle of snow regularly.
A few centimetres of powdery snow serves as insulation, but wet snow
quickly becomes a heavy burden.

Before embarking on the return journey, remove all the snow from the roof
to avoid impeding vehicles behind you with a "snow flag".
