2.5 Water supply and water disposal
Fresh water tank
From time to time you will need to clean the contacts on the inside
of the fresh water tank.
Lime deposits or chlorine can affect the electrical conductivity to
the display unit. An accurate water level display is no longer given.
At high temperatures and low water levels residues may form in
the fresh water tank and lines. It is therefore advisable to change
the water more frequently or to add commercial chemicals for
filtration and sterilisation.
Waste water tank
Occasionally, the water tank should be flushed out to ensure
proper emptying via the drain tap.
Sink
The sink is stainless steel and can be cleaned using standard
products.
2.6 Upholstery, Drivers Cab Curtain and Carpet
The cushions are composed of polyether foam. The upholstery
and curtains should be chemically cleaned, if necessary, do not
wash. The carpet is fully synthetic and should be cleaned using
commercially made shampoos.

2.7 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.

2.8 Poptop Roof

Through intensive airing condensation can be avoided (or kept
within acceptable levels) in the poptop roof.
To prevent stains from forming in the flock and bellows of the
poptop roof, the roof should not be closed if it is wet, when
possible.
For longer periods of disuse of the poptop roof, for example
in winter, the bed pad should be removed from the roof and
the roof put up from time to time.

Thus, the formation of moisture and the consequences can be
prevented.

2.9 Windows

The cleaning of the acrylic double windows should be washed with
plenty of water with added soap or detergent. A 10% addition of
detergent will prevent the build up of static electricity and hence
dust.
You should only use very soft cloth or natural chamois to rub the
plastic windows. Light scratches can be polished with brass polish
or liquid Stahlfix.
A subsequent treatment with silver polish is recommended.
The double glass should not be treated with de-icing spray or
ice scraper.
Occasionally rub the rubber seals lightly with a rubber-care
product. Then they will not freeze in the winter.
The two plugs present on the inside of the window should not be
removed. Otherwise condensation can form in the cavity of the
window.
2.10 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.
2.11 Joints and Hinges
The hinges of the poptop roof should be lightly oiled periodically at
the joints or even better, sprayed with a non-greasy spray.
The locking mechanism of the elevating roof, particularly the
locking bolt should also from time to time, be greased or sprayed
lightly.
