MOTORHOME HIRER’S GUIDE 

CHAUSSON 2 BERTH 

 

General Care of the Motorhome 

Be sure that you feel confident with all the operations and functions of the motorhome. 

If you are uncertain of anything please ask us to clarify it during the hand over. 

Please remember at all times that in order to keep the overall weight down many of the 
fittings are quite fragile 

– and expensive.  In particular the windows must be closed 

gently and as the table is in fact hollow, don’t drop anything onto it.  A broken window or 
table top will cost you about £350! 

Pre-Travel Checks 

You can do serious damage if you move off without carrying out these checks: 

•  All cables and hoses are unplugged 

•  *Gas has been turned off at the bottle and the fridge set to ‘Vehicle Battery’ 

•  All windows and skylights are closed and locked 

•  Aerial has been lowered and levelled 

•  Loose articles, cupboards and drawers are secured 

•  **All occupants are using seat belts 

*   IT IS ILLEGAL TO TRAVEL WITH THE GAS CYLINDERS TURNED ON. 

**  IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ANYONE TO TRAVEL IN THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WEARING 
A SEAT BELT 

Vehicle Return 

The motorhome must be returned on time in a clean state and with the toilet cassette 
emptied.   

DO NOT use any cleaners apart from those provided.   

Remember there is a £50 penalty for failing to empty and clean the inside of the toilet 
cassette. 

The vehicle must be returned with a full tank of diesel.
