CHAP. XV Winter use

PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Q
For winter driving, and particularly for driving on snow,
you should use the same rules for a camping car as for a
private car, in other words drive very smoothly without
sudden acceleration or braking.
In any case, your camping car will tend to hold the
road better than a car, simply because it is heavier, and
therefore grips the road better. It will lose its grip later
than a car, but when it does skid, it will be much more
difficult to control, therefore TAKE CARE.
You must put chains before driving on thick snow, but
before driving on snow for the first time it is good idea
to install the chains at home in peace. It can only be
easier than when you really need them, often when it is
snowing.
The most difficult problem to solve in the living
compartment during winter use is condensation.
The keyword to prevent the condensation phenomenon
is AERATION. Particularly in the winter, do not close the
bottom or top aeration systems in your camping car.
Another important point for the comfort during winter
use is the waste water tank which must not freeze. Add
either antifreeze, or salt, or alcohol to lower the freezing
point.

An optional heating element can be installed by your
dealer.
