WINDOWS AND BLINDS

Windows
Your vehicle is fitted with side windows to provide
light and ventilation to your vehicle. The number of
windows fitted will depend on the particular model
that you have chosen. All windows fitted to the
habitation area of your campervan are of acrylic
construction and open either by means of a top hinge
or a slide, depending on the location in the vehicle.
Top hung windows are opened by rotating the catches
90° to release from the locking plate. The window will
then move outwards on the top hinge. The window
can be held in the open position by means of the
locking collar on the telescopic arm. Sliding windows
are opened by releasing the retaining catch and sliding
the window in its track. Please ensure that all windows
are fully closed and locked before driving your vehicle.
Condensation
It is a popular misconception that acrylic campervan
windows are vacuum sealed; this is not so. The
windows can, as with domestic glazing, be susceptible
to temporary condensation if the temperature
dierence between inside and outside changes quickly
and/or dramatically (i.e. if a cold campervan is heated
quickly using the heater or by the sun).
These drastic changes of temperature and the
moisture in the air, both contribute towards the
temporary condensation that will normally disappear
as quickly as it appears. It is purely related to ambient
temperature changes of the campervan, compared to
the window cavities.
Blinds
The habitation widows are fitted with
spring-loaded night blinds and fly
screens. The fly screens pull down
from the top of the blind, the night
blinds pull up from the bottom.
Always ensure that the blinds are in
the fully in the open position before
driving your vehicle.
Skylights
Your campervan is fitted with skylights
in the ceiling to allow light and
ventilation into the vehicle.
The transparent skylights are opened
by pushing the handles upwards and
opening the dome to the required
amount. Closing the skylights is the
reverse of the above procedure.
Please ensure all skylights are fully
closed and locked before driving your
vehicle away.
Please note: Do not leave pleated
night blinds in the closed position if
the vehicle is being left in storage for
any extended period of time.
