Chap. Ii Preparation Before Leaving; Carrier Preparation; Preparing The Living Compartment (Outside) - Chausson V594S User Manual

CHAP. II Preparation before leaving
A camping car has two separate parts ; firstly the basic vehicle
or carrier that provides the transport, and secondly the living
compartment in which you will spend your holidays.
You should make a few standard verifications on both of these
components before leaving.

You should make the same verifications on the carrier before
you leave as you would normally do for your car. This includes
routine verifications, namely checks on the levels of your
engine oil, cooling circuit water, windscreen washer fluid,
and that all parking lights and indicators are working, without
forgetting to adjust the two outside rear view mirrors that are
very useful considering the width of the vehicle.
It is very important to check the level of the electrolyte in
batteries that contain electrolyte.
Obviously, the tire pressure should be checked.

PREPARING THE LIVING COMPARTMENT (outside)

n
The first thing to do before you leave is to switch on the
electricity power supply to the living compartment. A motor
home has two batteries, one supplying the carrier (engine)
and a second supplying the electrics in the living compartment.
The battery is located in a specific compartment.
The motorhome is further prepared for use by positioning the
gas bottles (PROPANE only) in an externally-accessed watertight
locker. Gas bottles must be turned off when vehicle is in motion.
When driving, gas cylinders must be closed.
Pictograms are placed in the appropriate location to
remind you of this.
