Maintenance and Care 12-9
The following applies for the interior fittings:
• Clean the interior of your van. Hoover carpets, cushions and
mattresses. If possible, store them outside the van. Other-
wise, place them in such a way inside the vehicle that they
do not come into contact with condensation.
• Use soapy water to clean linoleum and smooth surfaces.
• Empty and clean the refrigerator. Leave the refrigerator
door in the ventilation position (see 10.6 ).
• After cleaning them, leave stowage spaces, cupboards,
drawers and furniture flaps open to facilitate air circulation.
• Leave vents for forced ventilation open. If the van is kept in
a closed space, you can leave the skylight open.
• Air the van thoroughly every four to six weeks when the
weather is dry.
• Set up a dehumidifier (such as salt) inside the van and dry
the granulate or change it regularly.
• Open the battery's circuit breaker.
• If necessary, heat the camper to prevent the build-up of
mould from condensation.
• Switch off the 12 V main switch.
The following applies for your preparations:
• Check the vehicle for damage to the paintwork or from
rust and, if necessary, repair it.
• Ensure that water cannot run into the ventilation and de-
aerating and heating systems.
• Use a wax-based protective agent to protect the metal
parts of the undercarriage against rust.
• Preserve varnished external surfaces with suitable agents.
• Fill the petrol tank with winter diesel; check the antifreezer
in the windshield cleaning unit and the coolant.
The following applies for ventilation:
During operation in winter, condensation is caused when
using the camper in low temperatures. Sufficient ventilation is
extremely important to ensure that the quality of the air inside
the camper is good and to avoid damages to the vehicle
caused by condensation.
12.6 Winter Operation
Preparations
Your van has been designed to allow you to use it to a certain
extent in winter. If you really wish to camp in winter, we
recommend that you optimize your van to meet your personal
requirements. Your dealer will be pleased to advise you.
