Only use those tires designated in the registra-
tion documents. Other tire sizes may only be
used with the permission of the manufacturer
(ABE).
• Check tires regularly to ensure that the tread
is worn down evenly; check tread depth;
check for external damages.
• Always use the same make and model of tires
(summer or winter tires).
• Drive carefully on new tires for a stretch of
approx. 100 km to enable them to develop a
full road grip.
Check the tire pressure on all tires as well as the
spare tire approximately every four weeks and
before all long trips.
Rules for checking tire pressure:
• Checkandxtirepressureeveryfourweeks
(but at least every three months) and before
every drive.
• If driving on low tire pressure is unavoidable
(i.e., from the campsite to the nearest service
station) you should drive at a maximum
speed of 20 km/h.
• Raise the pressure of the base vehicle's rear
tires by 0.2 bar.
• Tires must be checked when they are cold.
• If tires are checked or the tire pressure cor-
rected when tires are warm, the pressure
must be up to 0.3 bar higher than if the tires
are cold.
Rules for tire pressure:
- correct tire pressure (1)
- tire pressure too low (2)
- tire pressure too high (3)
If the tire pressure is too low, the tire
can overheat. This can result in
serious damage.

Due to the type of construction, the
tires on campers with a tandem axle
may wear out more quickly.
