Maintenance and Care
12-11
The following applies for the interior fittings:
• Clean the interior of your motor home. Hoover carpets,
cushions and mattresses. If possible, store them outside the
mobile home. Otherwise, place them in such a way inside
the vehicle that they do not come into contact with conden-
sation.
• Use soapy water to clean linoleum and smooth surfaces.
• Empty and clean the refrigerator. Leave the refrigerator
door in the ventilation position (see
10.6
).
• After cleaning them, leave stowage spaces, cupboards,
drawers and furniture flaps open to facilitate air circulation.
• Leave vents for forced ventilation open. If the mobile home
is kept in a closed space, you can leave the skylight open.
• Air the mobile home thoroughly every four to six weeks
when the weather is dry.
• Set up a dehumidifier (such as salt) inside the motor home
and dry the granulate or change it regularly.
• Open the battery's circuit breaker.
• If necessary, heat the camper to prevent the build-up of
mould from condensation.
• Switch off the 12 V main switch.
The following applies for your preparations:
• Check the vehicle for damage to the paintwork or from
rust and, if necessary, repair it.
• Ensure that water cannot run into the ventilation and de-
aerating and heating systems.
• Use a wax-based protective agent to protect the metal
parts of the undercarriage against rust.
• Preserve varnished external surfaces with suitable agents.
• Fill the petrol tank with winter diesel; check the antifreezer
in the windshield cleaning unit and the coolant.
The following applies for ventilation:
During operation in winter, condensation is caused when
using the camper in low temperatures. Sufficient ventilation is
extremely important to ensure that the quality of the air inside
the camper is good and to avoid damages to the vehicle
caused by condensation.
12.7 Winter Operation
Preparations
Your motor home has been designed to allow you to use it to
a certain extent in winter. If you really wish to camp in winter,
we recommend that you optimize your motor home to meet
your personal requirements. Your dealer will be pleased to
advise you.
