6 Pit ching the Motorcaravan
Chapter overview
This chapter contains instructions on how to pitch the vehicle at the
campsite.
Pitch the vehicle so that it is as horizontal as possible. Use ramps where
necessary. Otherwise, the water from the shower tray will not be able to
drain properly.
Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling.
Animals (especially mice) can cause great damage to the interior of the
vehicle. To prevent this from happening, regularly check the vehicle for
damages or animal traces after pitching.
6.1 Handbrake
Firmly apply the handbrake when parking the vehicle.
If there is any risk of frost, release the handbrake every now and then
and apply it again. This will prevent it from freezing or rusting. Prior to re-
leasing the handbrake, secure the vehicle so that it cannot roll away.
6.2 Entrance step
In order to exit the vehicle, first fully extend the entrance step.
Not present in the model I due to the coupé entry.
6.3 Ramps
Ramps are not included in the scope of delivery. Different models are
available at the accessories shop.
To enable the vehicle to be parked on the level, ramps can be used for
height compensation when the vehicle is parked on a hill or on uneven
ground.
6.4 Supports
6.4.1 General instructions
Do not use the fitted supports as a vehicle jack. They supports are only
for stabilising the parked vehicle to prevent the rear axle from bottoming
out.
When pitching the vehicle, ensure that the supports are evenly loaded.
Before driving away, wind up the supports as far as they can go, fully re-
tract and secure them.
When the ground is soft, place a pad or block under the supports in or-
der to prevent the vehicle from sinking into the ground.
