3.1 Servicing after an extended stationary period
3.1.1 Fresh water
Re-pressurisation after a long wintering period can lead to the water arriving in a sporadic manner. It is therefore better to
purge the system by leaving the tap on. The pressure becomes constant as soon as there is no more air in the pipes.
3.1.2 Refrigerator
If running on gas, it is essential to remove the external covers on the upper and lower air vents.
The air vent covers should only be used in the event of very cold weather to protect the interior; in this case, all gas appliances
should be switched off.
3.2 Fill up and levels
3.2.1 Fuel
3.2.2 Tyre pressure
To drive in complete safety, check the tyre pressure every 15 days and before any long trip.
Check the pressure when cold. Never reduce the pressure of tyres when they are hot, otherwise the pressure will be too low
once the tyres cool down. You must adapt the tyre pressure according to the vehicle's load
The fuel tank is accessed by a locked hatch shown by a pictogram.
Consult the user manual of the chassis manufacturer for the technical specificities.
Before filling up, turn off the gas appliances and close the gas bottle taps.
It is strictly prohibited to use gas appliances when filling fuel,
including heating, which may however be used when driving.
