STORAGE/LOADING
LARGE STORAGE AREAS
The large storage areas provided in some
motorhome layouts are designed solely for
the purpose of carrying personal possessions,
these areas must not be used;
• as a habitation area (eg living, sleeping
or cooking).
• to carry passengers, animals or livestock.
• for the installation (or use) of any LPG gas
operated appliances, (unless supplied
fitted by the manufacturer).
• for carrying LPG gas bottle cylinders.
• to carry any flammable liquids, unless
properly stored, sealed and secured.
• for the operation of an electrical generator.
• in such a way that the load exceeds the
MTPLM and maximum axle loads.
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
Some motorhome roofs can be fitted with a
roof rack (optional).
A maximum load of 50kgs can be evenly
distributed on the roof rack system.
This figure MUST NOT be exceeded.
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.
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.
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.
WARNING:
the roof may become slippery
in adverse conditions, wipe dry before
attempting to walk on roof section. Extreme
care should be taken to avoid falling from
the vehicle.
WARNING: When walking on the roof,
deck type shoes should be worn – not
leather sole
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 or
passenger's door aperture.
Motorhome Tyre Specifications
Customers should note that your Motorhome
is fitted with “Camper Tyres”. Camper tyres
meet a specific “CP” (Camping Pneu) standard
for tyres on Motorhomes. The Camper tyres
on a Motorhome (unlike a commercial van) are
designed to carry a significantly higher load
for the majority of their life and even when
stationery for greater periods of time unlike a
van which typically loads and unloads. As a
result Camper tyres have stiffened side walls
to withstand the increased payloads and
pressure on them, this extra reinforcement
also gives better vehicle stability on the rear
with the heavier rear axle loads typical on a
Motorhome. The tyres are also designed to
improve mileage (wear) and offer better grip
off road.
When replacing your tyres we only recommend
the fitment of CP or Camper Tyres.
