Helpful notes
17
Before commencing the journey, close and lock all windows, doors and
skylights.
During high season do not spend the night at highway rest stops or parking
areas located along typical vacation routes.
Several vehicles on one site at the same time do not necessarily decrease
the chances of thievery occurring. Consult your own feelings about the
parking site.
Even if it is just for one night, go to a camping site.
Only take with you those valuables which are absolutely necessary for the
journey. If possible, store valuables in a small safe and not in the immediate
vicinity of windows or doors.
Always lock up the vehicle.

Tips for winter campers
The following tips will help make your winter camping experience as agreeable
as possible.
Reserve your parking place in good time. Good winter camping sites are
often booked up early.
Do not start your trip without winter tyres.
Choose your parking place with care. Observe the ground beneath you.
Snow and ice may melt.
Place boards of a sufficient size under the jockey wheel and the corner
steadies to prevent then from sinking when the snow thaws.
When the vehicle has been positioned, release the handbrake to prevent
freezing.
Protect the handbrake lever and the accumulator against frost with protec-
tive covers.
No snow walls should be allowed to cover the built-in forced ventilation.
Protect the gas bottle compartment against freezing with a protective
cover.
Do not leave waste water in the tank but drain it into a bucket.
Keep the built-in forced ventilation free from snow and ice.
Make sure the air circulation is good. Good air circulation prevents mois-
ture from collecting and makes it easier to heat the living area.
Follow the instructions in the section "Gas supply in European countries".
Use a two-bottle system with automatic controller for the gas system, so
that the supply does not run out during the night.
Only operate the gas system using propane gas.
Do not use the space behind the heater as a storage compartment.
Never operate catalytic ovens or infra-red gas radiators in the interior of the
vehicle, since they consume oxygen for burning.
Lay the 230 V power cable in such a way that the cable cannot be frozen
or be damaged (e.g. during snow removal).
Use a winter awning.
When it is snowing heavily, clear the roof of the vehicle of snow regularly.
A few centimetres of powdery snow serves as insulation, but wet snow
quickly becomes a heavy burden.
Before embarking on the return journey, remove all the snow from the roof
to avoid impeding vehicles behind you with a "snow flag".
