*MRO (mass in running order) is the vehicle's mass (weight) with the fuel tank filled to 90%, 20 litres of fresh water, one gas bottle filled to 90%, the
driver (75kg) and the standard vehicle fittings.
Caution, installing heavy optional equipment (additional water tank, 230V air conditioning + generator, motorcycle carrier, etc.) will
affect your load. Failure to follow these instructions may impact campervan safety conditions, particularly road holding.

3.4.3 Storing baggage

To avoid having excess baggage, draw up lists for crockery, clothing and personal objects. We advise you to keep them in a specific
place, well wedged into the many storage compartments intended for the purpose, so as to be able to find them easily. Make good
use of the purpose-built storage compartments such as the furniture and lockers.
Failure to respect these instructions may lead to dangerous situations in case of sudden braking or collision.
Load distribution
To preserve the roadholding of your campervan, the centre of gravity of the load must be as low as possible. This reduces suspension
interference such as swaying, pitching, etc. Heavy loads must be tied down or wedged in to avoid any ill-timed movement. If possible
they should be placed close to the campervan floor and distributed evenly so as not to exceed the maximum permissible loads.
