Frost protection
If the interior is sufciently heated, the fresh water tank, water

a wax preservative.
• To care for the wheels, jack up the vehicle or move it from
one spot to another every two months.

ensure sufcient airing.
• Leave the compulsory ventilation open.
• Air your motor home thoroughly every three to four weeks.
