Motorhome Care
CHASSIS AND REAR AXLE
Some models are built on Fiat Ducato base
vehicles, the chassis of which has been
converted by AL-KO. This conversion
provides a hot dipped galvanised steel
chassis coupled with a wide track rear axle
utilising steel torsion bar suspension,
imparting vastly improved stability and road
holding.
AL-KO EXHAUST SYSTEM
A standard Fiat exhaust system is fitted
utilising an AL-KO modified tail pipe,
available through your approved dealer.
A standard Fiat exhaust system is fitted to all
other models, with the addition of a Swift
Group tail pipe.
WINTERISATION/STORAGE
This is probably an opportune moment to
arrange for the motorhome to have its
annual service at your appointed dealer.
The following applies wherever your
motorhome is stored particularly during the
winter months.
Do not park near trees or larch type fences,
due to possible wind damage.
Keep any grass around the floor of the
motorhome short, to maintain air flow and
stop any possible damp getting into the
motorhome.
It is advised that the motorhome is ventilated
regularly throughout the winterisation/
storage period, opening windows, doors and
rooflight when possible.
General
All moving parts should be checked for free
operation.
Clean all cooking appliances and refrigerator.
Lubrication should be carried out at the
points illustrated in the general notes on
chassis maintenance.
Charge the on-board battery every
2 months.
Leave the refrigerator door open.
Leave furniture doors and lockers open to
allow air to circulate fully.
Soft Furnishings
Clean and dust the upholstery and if
possible remove before placing the
motorhome into winter storage. Alternatively,
stand the cushions on their edges to allow
circulation of air. This will reduce the
possibility of dampness from condensation.
Keep curtains or blinds closed, to minimise
fading of furniture.
Wheels and Tyres
Do not store in one position with partially
deflated tyres. The tyre walls will suffer and
present a real danger of blow outs,
especially when travelling at faster speeds
than are allowed in the UK.
The wheels should be turned every couple of
weeks.
If you are removing the wheels, follow the
jacking procedure for changing a wheel.
Water System
Ensure water pump is turned off.
Lift kitchen sink unit lid and clip in open
position.
All single lever mixer taps, including the
shower control, should have the lever moved
to the central position and lifted to the open
position for hot and cold.
All conventional taps should be opened.
Remove shower head and place in the
kitchen drawer. Let the shower hose drain
into the shower tray and then return to
holder.
Drain water tanks:
Fresh tank: remove the water dump plug
inside the tank
Waste tank: open inline valve adjacent to the
tank. Valve is open when handle is in line
with valve.
Drain water heater:
Truma Store and Combi boilers - open
yellow handle on inline valve adjacent to
heater. Valve is open when yellow handle is
vertical.
