Appliances
Before starting motor caravanning after
storage, check all gas appliances and electrical
points.
Note: Preferably not less than once a year,
the electrical installation should be inspected
and tested by a qualified electrician.
After storage it is advisable to air the
Motorhome and clean throughout, especially
cooking appliances and the refrigerator.

storage.
!
WARNING: Always follow the
manufacturers recommended procedures
after use of fitted equipment in the
Motorhome, before storing for any length
of time.

Chassis and rear axle

Some models are built on Fiat/Peugeot base
vehicles, the chassis of which has been
converted by AL-KO. This conversion provides
a hot dipped galvanised steel chassis coupled
with a wide track rear axle utilising steel torsion
bar suspension, imparting vastly improved
stability and road holding.

AL-KO exhaust system

A standard Fiat/Peugeot exhaust system is
fitted, utilising an AL-KO modified tail pipe,
available through your approved dealer. A
standard Fiat exhaust system is fitted to all
other models, with the addition of a Swift
Group tail pipe.

Caring for the environment

After many years of service you may decide
that your motorhome has become beyond
economic repair and should be disposed
of. Please ensure that you comply with the
end of life vehicle legislation and take it to an
authorised treatment facility where it will be
properly dealt with to minimise any negative
environmental impact. The transaction will be
logged at the DVLA, identifying that you are no
longer the owner of the vehicle.
