ARRIVAL AT SITE
6.1 Positioning the motorhome
Note: Check and observe site regulations.
Keep to roadways unless otherwise directed.
Adhere to speed limits. Note that these are
generally 10mph.
(Remember that the stopping distance on grass
is considerably greater than on tarmac.)
Only a person in possession of a current driving
licence may drive on the site.
Selecting a pitch
Do not pitch in such a position that your
motorhome will obstruct others coming in.
Try to choose an area which is dry, reasonably
level and preferably with a hard base.
If you have no alternative but to pitch on a slope
try to ensure that you are facing down the slope,
for when you leave.
Levelling the motorhome
Levelling must be carried out in both directions
for the refrigerator and other equipment to
function correctly. Stepped levelling boards
(Fig. A) or proprietary ramps are ideal for this
purpose. Levelling pads or boards should be
used under the wheels where the ground is soft
or uneven.

Awnings and Tents
Awnings and tents should only be used when
permission has been obtained. When on grass
and staying for more than a few days the ground
sheet and/or side flaps of awnings should be
periodically raised in order to avoid damage to
the ground.
