• The camper uses considerably more gas in
winter than in summer. Two 11 kg bottles of
gas will be used up in just under one week.
• Therefore, should you stay longer in one place,
it is worthwhile to set up an outer tent. It will
help to acclimatise the camper and keep the
dirt out.
The following applies for ventilation:
During operation in winter, condensation is
caused when using the camper in low tempera-
tures. Sufficient ventilation is extremely impor-
tant to ensure that the quality of the air inside
the camper is good and to avoid damages to
the vehicle caused by condensation.
• Do not shut vents for forced ventilation.
• Set the heating to maximum power when he-
ating up the camper. Open stowage spaces,
cupboards, drawers, furniture flaps, curta-
ins, shades and plissés. This enables you to
achieve optimum ventilation and de-aerating.
• Only heat the camper when the recirculation
air system is switched on.
• Every morning, air all of the cushions, mattres-
ses and stowage spaces and dry any damp
spots.
• Air thoroughly with fully opened doors and
windows several times a day.
• If the outside temperature is under 8° C, win-
ter covers should be mounted over the venti-
lation grilles of the refrigerator.
If, despite all of these measures, con-
densation forms somewhere, simply
wipe it away.
The following applies for containers:
• If the interior is sufficiently heated, the fresh
water tank, water pipes and therme/boiler
should not freeze. Fill all of the water contai-
ners only after the interior has been thoroughly
heated.
• Since waste water is collected outside the ve-
hicle, add antifreezer or common salt to it. The
drain cock of the sewage pipe must be kept
clear.
• The toilet can be used normally, even in cold
weather, as long as the interior of the camper
is heated. If there is a danger of frost, both the
excrement and the flushing water tanks should
be emptied.
