12. Maintenance and upkeep

12.6 Ventilation
Sucient ventilation and de-aeration of the vehicle interior is essen-
tial to maintaining a comfortable climate. In addition, condensation
can be avoided.
Condensation forms most readily
- in tight spaces,
- from the breath and perspiration of the
passengers,
- by having damp clothing, inside the caravan,
- Operating the gas cooker and oven*.
Ensure sucient air circulation to prevent damage from
the collection of condensation!
To ensure the ideal air exchange, open all of the cup-
board and wall cabinet doors when airing and reheating
the caravan.
12.7 Upkeep
The following applies for their care:
• Clean plastic parts (e.g. bumpers, skirts) with water of up to 60°
C and mild household cleansers.
• Clean greasy or oily surfaces with spirits.
Cleaning products not recommended for use:
- abrasive cleaning agents (scratch the surface)
- cleaning agents that contain acetone (immediately damage the
plastic)
- dry cleaning products
- diluents
- alcohols
- aggressive or solvent-based cleaners
- cleaners from the chemical group such as ketone, ester and
aromatic solvents
- aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. all automotive fuels)
Direct contact with plastics such as PVC, soft PVC and similar pro-
ducts (e.g. stickers) must be avoided at all cost.
It is not possible to avoid transmitting plasticizers when solvent-based
contents come into contact with the aforementioned plastics and this
causes the parts to become brittle.
Only wash the caravan at specially designed wash sites.
Use cleaning solvents as sparingly as possible.
Aggressive cleaners such as rim cleaner pollute our
environment.
Use only dishwashing liquid or commercial cleaning
agents, always taking care to follow the instructions for
use, and test the cleaning agent to make sure it is suitable.
