• Keep any grass around the floor of the
motorhome short to maintain airflow and
stop any possible damp getting into it.
• It is advised that the motorhome is
ventilated regularly throughout the winter
storage period, opening windows, doors and
rooflights where possible.
• All moving parts should be checked for free
operation.
• Clean all cooking appliances and the
refrigerator before parking up the vehicle.
• Charge up the on-board battery every 2
months.
• Leave the refrigerator door open. Leave the
furniture and locker doors open to allow air
to circulate fully.
• Ensure that the entire water system is
thoroughly drained.

Preparing Your Motorhome for Winter

Freezing in winter may cause damage to the
Whale tap. To avoid this damage, ensure that
the system is completely drained:
• Drain the fresh water tank using either the
pump or a drain valve.
• Turn the pump on and open all taps and the
shower mixer (including the drain valve) and
allow the pump to purge the water from the
system.
• Turn off the power isolator switch for the
water pump.
• Remember to leave all outlets open to avoid
any damage.
• Lift up the lever of every tap and leave it in
its central position.

Modifications Made To Your Motorhome

Owners need to be aware that carrying out
DIY modifications to your motorhome may, in
certain circumstances, invalidate the warranty
cover and could also affect the safety and
structure of the vehicle.
Never allow modification of electrical or LPG
systems and appliances except by qualified
persons. Care should be taken that any
additional equipment or appliances are installed
in accordance with the appliance/equipment
manufacturer's instructions.

Spares and After-Sales

There are numerous parts and accessories
available for your motorhome either from
your Bailey retailer or through the Bailey Parts
website (www.bailey-parts.co.uk).
You are more than welcome to contact the parts
website for anything you may require. However,
if it is a safety or warranty critical item, you will
need to obtain it from your Bailey retailer who
will fit the component for you.
In the interest of safety, replacement parts for
an appliance shall conform to the appliance
manufactuer's specifications and should be
fitted by him or his authorised.

The Motorhome End-Of-Life Policy

After many years in service you may decide that
your motorhome has become beyond economic
repair and should be disposed of. Please
ensure that you comply with the end-of-life
vehicle legislation and take it to an authorised
treatment facility where it will be properly dealt
with to minimise any negative environmental
impact. The transaction will be logged by the
DVLA, identifying that you are no longer the
owner of the vehicle.
