Before laying up the vehicle, go through the following checklist:
Activity Done
Base vehicle
Completely fill fuel tank. This prevents corrosion damage within the
fuel tank system
Jack up vehicle so that the wheels do not bear any load, or move vehi-
cle every 4 weeks. This prevents any pressure points from occurring
on tyres and wheel bearings
Protect the tyres from direct exposure to the sun. Danger of formation
of cracks!
Inflate tyres up to the recommended maximum pressure
Always provide for sufficient ventilation in the underbody area
Humidity or lack of oxygen e.g. by covering with plastic film
may cause optical irregularities to the underbody
In addition observe the notes in the operating manual of the base vehi-
cle
Body
All vents should be sealed with the appropriate caps and all other
openings (apart from forced ventilations) should also be sealed. This
prevents animals (e.g. mice) from gaining entry
Air the interior, all storage spaces accessible from the outside, and the
parking space (e.g. garage) every 3 weeks in order to prevent the oc-
currence of condensation and resulting mould formation
Interior
Place upholstery in an upright position for ventilation, and cover
Clean refrigerator
Allow refrigerator and freezer compartment doors to remain slightly
open
Search for traces of animals that have gained entry
Disconnect the flat screen from the mains and, if necessary, remove it
from the vehicle
Gas system
Close regulator tap on the gas bottle
Close all gas isolator taps
Always remove gas bottles from the gas bottle compartment, even if
they are empty
Electrical system
Fully charge living area and starter battery
Charge the battery for at least 20 hours before laying up.
Disconnect the living area battery from the 12 V power supply. To do
this, switch off the battery cut-off switch on the transformer/rectifier
(see chapter 9)
Water system
Empty the entire water system. Blow out the residual water from the
water pipes (0.5 bar max.). Leave the water taps on in central position.
Leave all drain cocks open. Observe the notes in chapter 11.
