After the end of the winter
season
Rules for upkeep:
• Carry out a thorough undercarriage wash.
This removes thawing agents (salts, lye resi-
due).
• Clean the exterior of the camper and use
commercially available car wax to preserve
steel parts.
• Should you have installed one, do not forget
to remove the chimney extension.
Only wash the vehicle at specially
designated sites.
Use cleaners as sparingly as possible.
Aggressive cleaners (i.e., rim cleaner)
pollute the environment.
Rules for the exterior structure:
• Turn stanchions down. Wheels and axles
must still carry the vehicle.
• Preserve painted exterior surfaces with a suit-
able material.
• Treat the metal parts of the undercarriage with
a wax-based anti-rust agent.
• Cover with tarpaulins, ensuring that ventila-
tion is not obstructed.
• Leave the forced ventilation system open.
• Air the camper thoroughly every three to four
weeks.
Rules for containers:
• Empty and clean the fresh water tank with a
pump, if necessary with a plunger.
• Empty and clean the waste water tank.
• Empty and clean the WC tank.
• Empty the hot-water boiler completely: switch
off the 12 V power supply by means of the
main switch on the control panel and open all
of the water faucets. In addition, we recom-
mend that you separate the water pump from
the fresh water system.
• Ensure that no water can seep into the forced
ventilation system in the floor and into the
heating element.
Also note the guidelines and operating
instructions from the manufacturers of
all built-in devices.
