1.3 Legal framework

1.3.1 Regulations

The vehicle must be registered according to the regulations. There are no specific regulations that apply to the use of a campervan.
Campervans are both vehicles and a form of accommodation that are subject to the following codes, depending on the country:
• the road code when driving the vehicle
• general local legislation and the road code when parking on the public road
• urban land use code when parking on private property

1.3.2 Warranty

• The warranty, guaranteed by the dealership, lasts 24 months from the delivery and key handover date. The date must be specifically
mentioned by the dealer in the box reserved for this purpose on the warranty certificate.
• The warranty only applies to the living area as well as to any transformations made by GP SAS to the chassis base; the chassis part
is covered by the car manufacturer warranty.
• The warranty should, as far as possible, be redeemed by the dealership where the vehicle was purchased, both for the living area
itself and for defective parts that may be replaced separately.
• The campervan shall be made available to the dealer for any exchange or repair. No refund shall be made for the cost of transport
to and from the dealer (both for the campervan and the people) or other related expenses incurred directly or indirectly.
• If household appliances are covered by their own manufacturer's warranty (fridge, heating system, etc.) then contact your nearest
brand representative (see list of representatives provided with the appliance) or your Pilote dealer.
• It is important to fill out the warranty documents for appliances when provided and to return them to the various manufacturers.

• The damage results from improper or negligent use
• Normal wear and tear
• The campervan was repaired in a workshop not approved by GP SAS or without its prior written agreement
• The campervan has been transformed or equipped with accessories not fitted by the manufacturer and which are liable to affect
key vehicle characteristics
