12.1 Maintenance
Maintenance intervals
xed maintenance intervals apply to the caravan and the devices
installed in it.
Rules for maintenance intervals
• The 1st annual maintenance check should be carried out by
an authorised HOBBY dealer no later than 12 months after the
initial registration date.
• Have all further maintenance performed once annually at a
HOBBY dealer.
• Have all maintenance on built-in devices performed in accor-
dance with the corresponding maintenance intervals indicated
in the operating instructions.
After the (2 year) legal warranty period has expired,
Hobby’s voluntarily granted (3 year) warranty against
leaks in the caravan, as set out in the guarantee condi-
tions, will only take eect if the (chargeable) inspections
for leaks were carried out correctly. To this end, the
caravan must be taken to a Hobby dealer 12-18 months
after receipt of the vehicle. After the initial inspection
for leaks, this inspection must be repeated every 12
months during the warranty period.
Hobby recommends that you contact a service partner
before driving there and enquire whether they have the
necessary capacity (e.g. an adequate car lift) in order
to avoid any misunderstanding.
The inspection of the gas facilities (subject to extra cost)
is to be repeated every two years by a liquid gas expert.
This inspection is to be conducted and certied in accor-
dance with the German Association of Gas and Water
Experts, worksheet DVGW G 607, and EN 1949. The
operator is responsible for scheduling this inspection.
Replace safety regulator knobs and hoses after 10
years at the latest!
Note that high-pressure gas hoses must be replaced
after 5 years.
For safety reasons, the spare parts for a device must
meet the manufacturer's requirements and be tted
either by the manufacturer themselves or one of their
authorised dealers.
