5.1 Ventilation
The following applies for ventilation:
Ventilation is important if you want to feel comfortable in your
van. Draft-free ventilation is integrated in your mvan via the
traction unit; de-aerating via the roof bonnets. Do not interfere
with their mode of operation!
Never cover the safety ventilation, not even partially.
We recommend that you open the roof bonnets whenever
you live in the van.
Watery vapour is produced while cooking, from wet clothes,
etc. Every person transpires up to 35 g of water per hour.
Therefore, depending on the relative humidity, the windows
and skylight s must be opened for further ventilation (see
also "Operating in Winter").
Ventilation grill, refrigerator
Refrigerator
Grates supply the refrigerator with fresh air from outside to
ensure sufficient refrigerating capacity. The grate for fresh air
intake
is on the outside wall of the vehicle. The ventilation
j
grill
is located above the air vents.
k
Ventilation and de-aerating of the van is a prerequisite for suf-
ficient cooling capacity. When the refrigerator is not being run,
the ventilation grills can be closed using the appropriate covers.
