2.5 Furniture
All visible parts of furniture are plastic coated. Maintain furniture and
fittings with the same furniture preservative products that you use in your
home.
2.6 Upholstery, Curtains and Carpet
The cushions are composed of polyether foam. The upholstery and
curtains should be chemically cleaned, if necessary. The carpet is fully
synthetic and should be cleaned using commercially made shampoos.
2.7 Shower Room
The shower cell is made from fibreglass with a gel coat finish. The good
surface gloss will only last if the surface is properly treated. To clean use
only soap or mild detergent solution.
The washbasin and shelves are made from plastic which should not
come into contact with solvents such as nail polish remover as the
will damage the surface.
2.8 Outer Decals
The application is car wash safe and should be treated the same way as
the exterior paintwork of the vehicle. The decals must not be cleaned with
high pressure jet wash systems.
The decals should not be treated with tar remover, if necessary, use
purified gasoline.
2.9 Joints and Hinges
The guide rails of the sliding seat should be lightly oiled periodically at the
joints or even better, sprayed with a non-greasy spray.
The telescopic strut of the roof vent should also from time to time, be oiled
so that it moves easily.

2.10 Second Battery (Leisure Battery)
The second batteries are located inside the rear seat bank.
Proper function of the electrical system, especially the additional heating
depends very much on the charge level of the second batteries.
If the acid level is too low pull out the plug of the gas venting stopper,
disconnect battery, remove cell plug and top up with distilled water to the
max level.
How often you should check the battery acid level will depend on the
operating conditions of the vehicle and the season.
When detached the second battery terminals should be insulated. They
must not come into contact with vehicle earth.
Well before the start of a journey the battery should be sufficiently charged
using the built in battery charger.
2.11 Gas tank
We recommend to treat the gas tank with under body protection. The red
marking strip must however remain recognizable, or it must later be
renewed. In addition, clean the valve regularly. The hinges and lock on the
gas tank cover must be cleaned and oiled occasionally so that it continues
to function properly.
3. Troubleshooting
Tools
The tool kit is placed at the factory in the passenger seat. The jack is
inside the rear seat bench above the freshwater tank.
3.1 Water pump does not work
a) Check the second battery is charged by pressing the button on the
display unit, where appropriate, recharge battery.
b) Check 10 amp fuse for the water pump in the display unit.
c) If temp is below 0°C check if ice has formed in the water supply system.
