Preparing for the Road

Care must be taken to ensure that exterior
doors are closed, locked and that all
possessions are properly stored and secured
before setting off on any journey.
ROOF LOADING
A maximum load of 200kgs can be evenly
distributed over the roof area. This figure
MUST NOT be exceeded.
The roof areas, up to the over cab section,
are capable of withstanding an average
person’s weight (13 stone or 82.5kg).
Note: Do not walk on the over cab section.
Some motorhome roofs can be fitted with a
roof rack (optional).
It is permitted to stand inside the roof rack
fitted to the roof. The roof section beyond
the rack is not designed for walking on.
Note: When loading the roof rack, make sure
the load is spread evenly and do not allow
sharp objects to come into contact with the
roof surface.
WARNING: When walking on the roof
rack, deck type shoes should be worn -
not leather soles.
Do not apply excessive load to the rear
suspension of your motorhome or allow
the vehicle to reverse with the roof rack
access ladder in the down position,
touching the ground. This may cause
excessive strain on the ladder fixing
points.
TYRES
If a wheel or tyre fitted to a wheel is
changed any replacement must be of
the same type of construction and size.
The law requires that the tyres and pressures
must be suitable for the use to which they
are being put. The minimum tread depth
must be 1.6mm throughout a continuous
band comprising the centre three-quarters of
the breadth of the tread and around the
circumference of the tyre.
Please refer to base vehicle manufacturer's
handbook for tyre pressure information. This
may also be displayed in the driver's door
aperture.
DEDICATED TRAVELLING
PASSENGER SEATING

Travelling seats are designated by the

homologated i.e. tested to all relevant safety
requirements. NEVER travel in a non-
designated seat.
WARNING: Side facing seats are
designed for habitational use only, not
when the vehicle is in motion.
