5.5 Information for the Winter
The vehicle is suitable for winter, under certain conditions. If the
vehicle is heated (living temperature) then the water supply
system is operational even with outside temperatures of -15 C. To
prevent freezing of waste water in waste water tank then a
sufficient quantity of salt should be added.
An alternative recommendation is to leave the drain water tank
open and if necessary, collect the wastewater in an appropriate
container. At temperatures below -10 C the disposal shall be as
per last recommendation above.
Note: For the gas appliances to work smoothly, please read the
description of the ice-ex conditioning
When not used in winter if there is danger of frost then empty
the entire water and waste disposal system.
Winter Camping
Additional equipment
Snow shovel
De-icer
Antifreeze
Snow chains
Jumper cable
To set up on winter pitches is recommended to note the
following:
• release handbrake so that it does not freeze.
Better to engage the gear or put wedges under the wheels.
• Do not lay power cables on the floor, otherwise they freeze solid.
• The ground under the mobile home must keep clear, so that the
heater is given sufficient ventilation. Do not allow a wall of snow to
build up around the car.
• The outlet of the exhaust pipe of the heater should be kept free
of snow.
• mobile home roof vent in the back area should be kept free of
snow..
Note: If you need to top up your gas during a winter holiday, pay

special attention when abroad that you buy propane gas, butane
gas should not be used in freezing temperatures.
Ventilation
In winter, the ventilation is particularly important. Venting is
necessary due to breathing, moisture causing cooking vapours,
brought in snow and wet clothes. Therefore, you need to keep the
vent always free.

5.6 Behaviour during Thunderstorms

The Westfalia campers are just as safe as a normal car during
thunderstorms. The supports (poptop roof) and the sheet metal
reinforcements (high roof) interact with the vehicle body as a
lightning conductor (Faraday cage).
We recommend:
Disconnect 220 V power supply from outside socket
Retract car radio antenna

6.1 Installation Position of the Speakers

Position of the speaker cable
The speaker cables are located in the rear roof stowage box.
In driving direction they can be seen on right hand side.
The speaker holes are predrilled and you can use a hammer to
expose them and then deburr the edge of the opening.
The factory is working constantly in the development of all types
and models. Please be aware we reserve the right to change our
