Driving arround corners
Due to its height, a motor home begins to sway more quickly
than an automobile.
The following applies for driving arround corners:
• Never drive too quickly into a corner!
Driving economically
The engine of your motor home has not been designed to drive
constantly under a full load.
The following applies when driving:
• Do not keep your foot down on the accelerator!
• The final 20 km/h before reaching top speed require up to
50 % more fuel!
Getting petrol
A number of devices that use an open flame have been built
into your motor home.
The following applies when getting petrol:
• Turn off all accelerator devices (heating, refrigerator, etc.)!
• Turn off all mobile phones!
• Never get anything other than diesel fuel.
• Never mistakenly fill the fresh water tank with fuel.
Driving
Take a trial drive before leaving on your first large journey in
order to familiarize yourself with the motor home. Remember
to practise reversing. The base vehicle is a commercial vehicle;
adjust your driving style accordingly.
The following applies for driving:
• Do not underestimate the length of the engine home. Due
to the relatively long rear overhang larger vehicles can
veer to one side and, in unfavourable conditions, the rear
can hit the ground.
• Be careful when driving into inner courtyards and through
entrance gates.
• The motor home may start to swing from side to side in
cross-winds, on wet or icy roads.
• Adjust your speed to road and traffic conditions.
• Long descents with a slight gradient can become dangerous.
Adjust your speed from the very beginning to allow you to
speed up if necessary without endangering other automobiles.
• As a general rule, never drive faster downhill than uphill.
• The motor home may be caught up in a slipstream when
overtaking or being overtaken by lorries with trailers or buses.
This effect is counteracted by lightly counter-steering.
• Use foresight while driving; take regular breaks on longer
drives.
