ON TRIP
Driving the motorhome
It is responsibility of the driver
° that passengers stay sitting on the apposite seats with seatbelts.
° that the duty to fasten the seatbelts is respected.
° that doors and windows are closed while in march
°that all security measures of this manual are respected.
°Avoid the sudden braking. On uneven road drive slowly. Remember that the back jolt, noticeable
above all on the bigger models, can make the manoeuvre difcult with risk of getting the vehicle stuck.
Pay particular caution to the uphill attack and to the garage ramps, ferryboats, to the dips built to delay
the trafc etc, while crossing roughness of the ground and during reverse motion manoeuvres. It is
important to avoid damages to the under-chassis or to the parts mounted on the under-chassis.
°During the march the driver and the passengers must keep the seatbelts fastened.
°Remember that the chassis is that of a commercial vehicle. Adapt consequently the behaviour while
driving.
