INFO
?
This is the period during which you no longer use your
camping car.
Like any other vehicle, it tends to age much more quickly when
it is not being used. Therefore, take appropriate precautions :
1) Drain all water circuits (clean water, waste water, WC toilet
cassette), and your distributor / vendor will help you the
first time since you need to be thoroughly familiar with your
vehicle.
Refer to the paragraph on the pump operation (page 48) to
bleed the water pump.
2) The gas cylinder must be closed and, ideally, removed;
in this case, block the gas line. Do not forget to close all
ventilation orifices so that insects cannot enter(blanking
pieces available as an option).
3) Take the batteries out and charge them, and then store
them in a dry, frost free location, unless you can leave your
camping car plugged in to a 220 V mains power supply while
you are not using it, to keep the batteries charged and frost
free.
4) We suggest you install appropriate screens or plugs over
the air gratings.
5) If the motorhome will not be used for an extended period
of time, remember to ventilate it regularly.
