Winter operation

During winter operation, condensation develops when the vehicle is occupied
under low-temperature conditions. To ensure good interior air quality and
avoid vehicle damage from condensation, sufficient ventilation is essential.
When heating the vehicle, the heater should be at the highest setting and
roof storage cabinets, curtains and blinds should be opened. This ensures
optimal ventilation.
In the morning, lift up all cushions, air out storage boxes and dry any damp
areas.
If condensation has still developed, just wipe it off.

Lay-up

Temporary lay-up

If the vehicle has been stationary for a long period (approx. 10 months)
have the braking and gas systems checked by an authorised specialist
workshop.
Take into consideration that water is undrinkable after only a short time.
Before laying up the vehicle, go through the following checklist:
Activities
Completely fill fuel tank. This can prevent corrosion to the tank sys-
tem
Jack up the vehicle so that the wheels do not bear any load, or move
the vehicle every 4 weeks. This prevents any pressure points from
occurring on tyres and wheel bearings
Protect the tyres from direct exposure to the sun. Danger of forma-
tion of cracks!
Inflate tyres up to the recommended maximum pressure
Always provide for sufficient ventilation in the underbody area
Humidity or lack of oxygen e.g. by covering with plastic film
may cause optical irregularities to the underbody.
Also observe the specifications in the operating instructions of the
base vehicle
Place upholstery in an upright position for ventilation, and cover
Clean refrigerator
Allow refrigerator and freezer compartment doors to remain slightly
open
Remove the shower tube from the vehicle, take it out of the bag and
hang it up dry
