Under-inflating tyres reduces their service life and compromises your safety: risk of blowout, increase in braking distances
and loss of grip.
3.2.3 Fresh water
You can find water supplies in service stations when refuelling. An increasing number of service points are being set up by local
authorities; use them for both filling up with fresh water and emptying your wastewater. Filling up is done using an external nozzle
fitted with a lockable cap, identified by a pictogram.
3.2.4 Gas
Starting and stopping the system
Refer to the manufacturer's manual to start and stop the gas system.
Changing the empty bottle
Refer to the manufacturer's manual for how to change an empty bottle. Bottles must be securely strapped in place before closing the
compartment. Gas bottle connectors differ from one country to another. Make sure that the bottle is compatible with your rubber gas pipe
before replacing the bottle when abroad.
Residual gas: no smoking or naked flames.
3.2.5 Battery
Before setting out on a trip, particularly after a long period of inactivity, check the charge on the base vehicle
and leisure batteries. To recharge the leisure battery, connect the vehicle to the 230 V mains supply for
24 hours. Completely flat batteries are less efficient.
The battery must not be in contact with any metal object. The battery housing must be kept
closed at all times and must only contain the battery.
