4. TRAVELLING

4.1 Safety checks before departure

Before taking to the road, systematically check that all signalling devices (indicators, main-beam, dipped, warning headlights, horn, etc.) are
functioning correctly. Your motorhome is always ready to take the road. There are no other specific road preparations to be made. However,
some precautions are necessary to avoid incidents.
• Check that all taps and valves are closed
• Lock the refrigerator door
• Close the doors to the wardrobe and bathroom
• Close the side windows
• Close the sun roof and the skylights
• Lock the cupboards

4.2 Settings

• Check the adjustment of seats, safety belts and head rests
• Adjust the wing mirrors to your field of vision

4.3 Driving

A motorhome is much bigger than a car. Before first use, familiarise yourself with driving the vehicle,
particularly in reverse. Be very careful when going downhill, overtaking or if there are side winds.
On the road, always bear in mind the dimensions of your vehicle.
Height
Be careful with bridges, tunnels, car parks, overhead branches, service station canopies, etc.
Width
Avoid entering narrow passageways or areas involving complicated extraction manoeuvres. If need
be, perform an initial reconnaissance of the site.
Difficult situations
When manoeuvring, do not hesitate to ask for assistance from someone outside the vehicle.
• Close all drawers
• Do not leave items on the tables or kitchen workbench
• Check that all the functions on the control panel are off
• Close the living area door
• Disconnect the exterior 230V power cable
