If, despite all of these measures, condensation forms
somewhere, simply wipe it away.
Before entering, remove the snow from your clothes
and shoes to prevent an increase in humidity.
Continue to heat the vehicle while you are sleeping!
The following applies for heating:
• Both the air intake as well as the exhaust gas openings of the
heating system must be kept free of snow and ice (if necessary,
use ue extensions).
• It takes longer to heat up the caravan in winter, especially to
heat hot water.
• Do not let the interior cool down completely when you are away
or at night; set the heating to low and leave it on.
• The caravan uses considerably more gas in winter than in sum-
mer. Two 11 kg bottles of gas will be used up in just under one
week.
• Therefore, should you stay longer in one place, it is worthwhile
to set up an outer tent. It will help to acclimatise the caravan
and keep the dirt out.
• Do not shut vents for forced ventilation.
• Set the heating to maximum power when heating up the ca-
ravan. Open stowage spaces, cupboards, drawers, furniture
aps, curtains, shades and plissés. This enables you to achieve
optimum ventilation and de-aerating.
• Only heat the caravan when the recirculation air system is swit-
ched on.
• Every morning, air all of the cushions, mattresses and stowage
spaces and dry any damp spots.
• Air thoroughly with fully opened doors and windows several
times a day.
• If the outside temperature is under 8° C, winter covers* should
be mounted over the ventilation grilles of the refrigerator.
Please also refer to the information given by the ma-
nufacturers of built-in devices regarding
winter.
The following applies for ventilation:
During operation in winter, condensation is caused when using
the caravan in low temperatures. Sucient ventilation is extremely
important to ensure that the quality of the air inside the caravan is
good and to avoid damages to the vehicle caused by condensation.
