Never use portable heating or cooking appliances.
  • Page 12: Road Safety

    Safety As far as the fitted appliances (heater, cooker, refrigerator, etc.) and the base vehicle (engine, brakes, etc.) are concerned, the instruction manuals are authoritative. It is imperative that they be observed. Fitting accessories or special equipment can alter the dimensions, weight and road behaviour of the vehicle.
  • Page 13: Towing

    Safety Before commencing the journey, distribute the payload evenly within the vehicle (see chapter 4). When loading the vehicle and when taking a rest from driving, in order to load luggage or food, for example, observe the maximum permissible gross weight and axle loads (refer to vehicle documents). Before commencing the journey, ensure that all cupboard doors, the toilet compartment door and all drawers and flaps are secure.
  • Page 14: Gas Bottles

    Safety If the vehicle or gas devices are not used, close the regulator tap on the gas bottle. If there are several gas devices, each gas device must have its own gas isolator tap. If individual gas devices are not in use, close the respective gas isolator tap.
  • Page 15: Electrical System

    Before the journey Payload 4Before the journey Overloading the vehicle and wrong tyre pressure can cause tyres to burst. You can lose control of the vehicle. Adapt the speed to the payload. The stopping distance is increased if the payload is too high. Do not exceed the maximum permissible gross weight stated in the vehicle documents by the payload.
  • Page 18: Calculating The Payload

    Before the journey Information about the weights of the various special equipment devices can be obtained from the manufacturer. Personal equipment Personal equipment includes all items in the vehicle that are not included in the conventional load or in the additional equipment. For example, personal equipment can include the following: Foodstuffs Crockery...
  • Page 19: Loading The Motorhome Correctly

    Before the journey The calculation of the payload from the difference between the maximum per- missible gross weight in laden condition and the mass specified by the manu- facturer in ready-to-drive condition is however only a theoretical value. Only if the vehicle is weighed with full tanks (fuel and fresh water), full gas bot- tles and complete additional equipment on a public weighbridge, can the actual payload be determined.
