Winter Operation - Hobby 350 TB De Luxe Operation Manual

12.8 Winter Operation

The following applies for the interior fittings:
• Clean the interior of your camper. Hoover
carpets, cushions and mattresses. If possible,
store them outside the camper. Otherwise,
place them in such a way inside the vehicle
that they do not come into contact with con-
densation.
• Use soapy water to clean linoleum and
smooth surfaces.
• Empty and clean the refrigerator. Leave the
refrigerator door open.
• After cleaning them, leave stowage spaces,
cupboards, drawers and furniture flaps open
to facilitate air circulation.
• Leave vents for forced ventilation open. If the
camper is kept in a closed space, you can
leave the skylight open.
• Air the camper thoroughly every four to six
weeks when the weather is dry.
• Set up a dehumidifier (such as salt) inside the
camper and dry the granulate or change it
regularly.
Your camper has been designed to allow you to
use it in winter.
Please also refer to the information
given by the manufacturers of built-in
devices regarding winter.
With regard to camping in winter, we
recommend that you optimize your
camper to meet your personal requi-
rements. Your Hobby dealer will be
pleased to advise you.
The following applies for heating:
• Both the air intake as well as the exhaust gas
openings of the heating system must be kept
free of snow and ice (if necessary, use flue
extensions).
• It takes longer to heat up the camper in winter,
especially to heat hot water.
• Do not let the interior cool down completely
when you are away or at night; set the heating
to low and leave it on.
