MAINTENANCE
119
• The battery should not be adversely affected
by winter temperatures but the level of
charge should be maintained to maximise
the life span of the battery. This can be
achieved using an automotive type battery
charger as and when required.
Gas system
• Ensure the gas supply is isolated at the gas
bottle, and ensure that the gas manifold taps
are off.
• Check the age and condition of the high
pressure gas hose and regulator, and replace
if required.
Appliances
• Check the battery expiry date on the smoke
alarm and replace or remove as required.
• Ensure the fridge is turned off.
• Clean the inside of the fridge.
• Prop the fridge door open, and if possible,
the internal freezer compartment door for
ventilation.
• Fit fridge vent winter covers (if available).
• Ensure all hob / oven / microwave surfaces
are clean.
• If the caravan is going to be left connected
to 230v supply while not in use, ensure the
microwave is unplugged.
• Empty the toilet cassette.
• Drain the toilet reservoir.
Empty the fresh water tank using the drain
tube / fresh water tank level indicator (level
indicator on electronic models only).
Pull the lever indicator / drain tube down
from top plug position and outward through
door opening to drain water from the tank.
Empty the water fill funnel by pulling the
bottle away from tank.
Remove the small water cap on the filler
bottom, allowing water to drain from the
water funnel. (Not C-200 toilet).
Do not tighten caps, this helps in keeping
unit dry. The pour out spout and vent plug
can be removed. Seals should be lubricated
if necessary with acid-free Vaseline.
Exterior (Body / Chassis)
• Ensure that all windows, skylights and
access doors are closed and secured.
• Ensure all fixed ventilation points (high and
low) are clear from debris and obstructions.
It is advised that fixed ventilation points
are checked and cleaned (if necessary) on
a regular basis using a small brush and a
domestic vacuum cleaner
• Ensure the vehicle is not parked where falling
debris (i.e. leaves, tree sap) could cause
damage.
• Avoid leaving the vehicle parked in soft
ground, long grass or a potential area where
standing water may form.
• Lubricate relevant points on the chassis.
• Remove road wheels, using the correct
jacking points and suitable axle stands, or
if being left on road wheels rotate wheels
(every two weeks) and ensure the correct
tyre pressures are maintained.
• A purpose made cover maybe used, but
please ensure the cover is a good fit,
breathable and securely fitted.
Note: A poorly fitted cover can rub and
damage the bodywork. Non-breathable
covers will encourage mould to grow and
if fitted prevent the operation of a roof
mounted solar panel (model specific)
Interior (Furniture / furnishings)
• Open all lockers and internal doors, to
ensure good circulation.
• Remove cushions and store them in a dry
location or ensure all cushions are placed in
a well ventilated area.
• Close all blinds and curtains. Customers are
reminded to check the tension on blinds after
storage if left closed for long periods.
• Thoroughly ventilate the caravan by opening
doors or windows periodically.
• Placing water absorbent crystals in the van
during the winter months, will help reduce
moisture levels and mould growth.
• We do not recommend leaving portable
heaters in the van unattended.
