arrange for the Motorhome to have its annual
service at your appointed dealer.
The following applies whenever your
Motorhome is stored particularly during the
winter months.
Do not park near trees or larch type fences,
due to possible wind damage.
Keep any grass around the floor of the

stop any possible damp getting into the
Motorhome.
It is advised that the Motorhome is ventilated
regularly throughout the winterisation /storage
period, opening windows, doors and rooflights
when possible.
