• Are all passengers restrained in the base
vehicle with seatbelts?
• Have all passengers exited the camper?
Staying in the camper during the
drive is prohibited by law! In the
event of an accident, passengers
can be hurled out and sustain po-
tentially fatal injuries.
2.3 Guidelines for the trip
Loading
Rules for loading:
• Spread the load evenly between the left and
right-hand side of the camper. Heavy or bulky
objects belong in the lower storage compart-
ments and near the axle.
• If your camper has a tandem axle: distribute
the centre of weight between the two axles.
• Never place the entire load at the tail end of
the camper (danger of slewing).
• Heavy objects should be stowed securely to
prevent them from slipping.
• Lighter objects (clothing) should be stowed in
the wall cupboards.
• You may not always be able to follow the re-
recommended stowing arrangement, because
storage possibilities are distributed throughout
the entire interior of the camper. If necessary,
stow heavy objects in the base vehicle.
• Lash the roof load securely.
• Store baggage in the interior in cupboards
and storage compartments.
• Secure doors and aps.
• After loading, check total weight and axle
load(s) at a public weigh station.
The additional load represents the difference
between the gross vehicle weight rating and the
mass in running order. This value must include
the masses for:
- additional equipment (in addition to that which
is pre-installed by the dealer or at the factory),
- personal equipment (i.e., clothing, food, tele-
vision set, tys, pets, etc.).
