11.1 Maintenance

Maintenance intervals
There are stipulated maintenance intervals for the motor home
and its equipment.
Also note the maintenance intervals for the basic Ford
vehicle.
The following applies for maintenance intervals:
• Have the first maintenance carried out by a HOBBY dealer
12 months after the vehicle was first registered.
• All further maintenance should be carried out once a year
by a HOBBY dealer.
• The maintenance of the basic vehicle as well as all built-in
equipment should be carried out at the intervals given in
each operating manual.
The gas fittings must be checked every 2 years by an
expert for LPG and confirmed on the certificate in accor-
dance with DVGW G 607 and EN 1949.
Care
The operator of the vehicle is responsible for having main-
tenance carried out on schedule.
Replace the safety regulator for gas at least every 6
years!
For safety reasons, spare parts for equipment must conform
with the manufacturer's instructions and must be installed
by him or a duly authorised representative.

11.2 Airing

For a comfortable climate inside the caravan, there must be
sufficient ventilation. This also avoids corrosive damage due
to condensation.
Condensation is caused by
- insufficient volume inside the caravan
- breathing and perspiration of the passengers
- bringing in damp clothing
- operating a gas cooker
Ensure that there is a sufficient exchange of air to avoid
damages due to the build-up of condensation!
