CHAP. XVII Winter storage
?
This is the period during which you no longer use your
camping car.
Like any other vehicle, it tends to age much more quickly
when it is not being used. Therefore, take appropriate
precautions :
1) Drain all water circuits (clean water, waste water, WC
toilet cassette), and your distributor / vendor will help
you the first time since you need to be thoroughly
familiar with your vehicle.
Refer to the paragraph on the pump operation (page 48)
to bleed the water pump.
2) The gas cylinder must be closed and, ideally, removed;
in this case, block the gas line. Do not forget to
close all ventilation orifices so that insects cannot
enter(blanking pieces available as an option).
3) Take the batteries out and charge them, and then
store them in a dry, frost free location, unless you can
leave your camping car plugged in to a 220 V mains
power supply while you are not using it, to keep the
batteries charged and frost free.
4) We suggest you install appropriate screens or plugs
over the air gratings.
5) If the motorhome will not be used for an extended
period of time, remember to ventilate it regularly.
