BEFORE MOVING OFF

Whenever you plan to use your motorhome
it is good practice to run through this simple
checklist before you set off:
• Ensure that there is sufficient gas to meet
your needs.
• Check that gas cylinders are securely
fastened.
• Turn off the gas supply, and all gas
appliances - only leave gas on if your
motorhome has a Truma MonoControl CS
safety gas pressure regulator.
• Turn OFF all gas manifold taps (located
under the sink).
• Ensure that the gas cylinder and locker door
are securely fastened.
• Switch off the 230V supply at the site's
hook-up supply pillar and disconnect the
mains cable from the vehicle (beware of
potential electric shock from a wet cable).
Coil up cable and store in a safe place.
• Check both the control panel and the PDU
box for operation.
• Check and, if necessary, charge your leisure
battery. This can be viewed on your control
panel.
• Check that the battery is secure and that
the battery box door is securely fastened.
• Ensure that the fridge is set to 12V
operation and the door lock is set. (Please
note that the electrical relays will allow the
fridge to run on the vehicle battery when
the engine is running.)
• Ensure, if required, that your fresh water
and waste water tanks are empty.
• Remove any external fresh water
connections, coil and store in a secure place.
• Ensure that the toilet flush tank is empty
in order to minimise the risk of leaks or
spillage while the vehicle is in motion.
• Move the toilet blade handle to the closed
position.
• Close and secure all cupboards and drawers
and check for any loose articles.
• Do not store tins, jars, cylinders etc. in
overhead lockers.
• Close and secure all windows and roof lights.
• Leave all curtains and blinds open.
• Make sure any heavy articles are stored in
accordance with the loading procedure.
• Ensure tables are in their specified storage
compartments.
• Lock the habitation door (remember to
remove the keys).
• Check your wing mirrors and adjust if
necessary.
• Check that the wheel bolts are secure and
that the tyre pressures are correct.
• Check underneath the vehicle for any stray
items.
• Safely store your levelling blocks away in an
appropriate place.
