6.8 Heating
6.9 Ventilation
Condensation Ensure that there is a continuous exchange of air by providing frequent and
efficient ventilation. This is the only method for ensuring that condensation and
resulting mould is not formed during cool weather. During the colder season,
a pleasant living climate is created if heating output, air distribution and venti-
lation are synchronised.
If the vehicle is laid up for a longer period, occasionally ventilate it well, espe-
cially in summer as heat accumulation can occur. Do not only air the interior,
but also the storage compartments which are accessible from the outside. Air
the parking place as well if the vehicle is parked in a closed space (e.g.
garage). The occurrence of condensation could lead to the formation of mould.
X During heater operation, the exhaust gas pipe in the wardrobe will get
hot. Therefore do not keep any heat-sensitive garments right next to the
exhaust gas pipe (see also chapter 9).
Z The operation of the heater is described in chapter 9.
X The oxygen in the vehicle interior is used up by breathing and the use of
gas operated appliances. That is why the oxygen needs to be replaced
on a constant basis. For this purpose, forced ventilation options (e.g.
skylights with forced ventilation, mushroom-shaped vents or floor vents)
are fitted to the vehicle. Never cover or block forced ventilations from the
inside or outside with objects such as e.g. a winter mat. Keep forced ven-
tilations clear of snow and leaves. There is a danger of suffocation due
to increased CO

levels.
Z Although sufficient ventilation is provided, in certain weather conditions,
condensation can form on metal objects (e.g. screwed connections in the
floor).
Z Additional cold spots can occur at thermal "bridges" (e.g. lifting roof edges,
mushroom-shaped vents, skylight edges, sockets, filler necks, flaps, etc.).
