4.1 Safety checks before departure

Before taking to the road, systematically check that all signalling devices (indicators, full-beam and dipped headlights, hazard lights,

Your campervan is always ready to take the road. There are no specific road preparations to be made. However, some precautions
are necessary to avoid incidents.
