10.1 Winterisation
The Swift Group recommends the following
winterisation points for customers:
Servicing
• Arrange (in advance) the yearly service and
habitation check, if the campervan's next
service is due while the vehicle is stored.
Plumbing
• Water expands as it is frozen, and so trapped
water, when it expands, can damage the
tap/ valve /pump or pipe it is trapped within.
For this reason, (in addition to reasons of
hygiene), the water system should be fully
drained when not in use, particularly in colder
weather.
• Open both the fresh tank and water waste tank
drain valves, which are located on the tanks
below the skirt of the campervan. Ensure that
waste water drains into a designated waste
water collection area, either directly or by
collecting the water in a container for later
disposal.
• Fully open the kitchen tap. Run the pump
(using the switch on the control panel) for a
short time to expel as much water as possible
from the pipework, if an external shower is
fitted also connect this briefly to help expel any
water trapped in the shower point connection.
• Have a cloth or towel ready, locate the pump
in the lower cupboard of the kitchen area and
place the cloth/towel around it. Using the
quick release connections on the input and
output sides of the pump, release the pipes
from the pump – a small amount of water may
escape from the pipe running up to the kitchen
tap. Again run the pump briefly, to expel the
final small amounts of water from the pump.
Electrical
If vehicle is being stored while connected to
230v Mains Hook-up:
• Ensure that the leisure battery is connected
and the leisure battery fuse is in place.
• Ensure the control panel habitation area
power switch is in the OFF position
(57)
• Vehicles can be left in this condition for
extended periods, with the charger operating
to maintain the battery. However, periodic
maintenance and inspection is recommended,
this should include the battery condition.
If vehicle is being stored not connected to 230v
Mains Hook-up:
• Charge the leisure battery for 24 hours prior to
placing campervan in storage.
• Ensure the control panel habitation area power
switch is in the OFF position (see section
described elsewhere in this handbook.) The
battery should not be adversely affected by
winter temperatures but the level of charge
should be maintained to maximise the life span
of the battery. This can be achieved using an
automotive type battery charger as and when
required.
• Check the Ford Tourneo handbook for the
latest advise on vehicle battery maintenance
during periods of inactivity, and follow those
steps. This is likely to involve disconnection
and periodic checks of battery condition.
Gas system
• Ensure the gas supply is isolated at the gas
bottle, and ensure that the gas manifold taps
are off.
• Check the age and condition of the high
pressure gas hose and regulator, and replace
if required.
Appliances
• Check the battery expiry date on the smoke
alarm and CO detector and replace or remove
as required.
• Ensure the fridge is turned off.
• Clean the inside of the fridge.
• Prop the fridge door open, and if possible,
the internal freezer compartment door for
ventilation.
• Ensure all hob / grill surfaces are clean.
• Clean the toilet and empty the cassette. See
the Dometic toilet users manual for the most
up to date advice.
