PREPARING FOR THE ROAD
BEFORE MOVING OFF
Whenever making a journey with your
motorhome, either setting off on holiday or
returning home, it is good practice to run
through this simple checklist.
(i) Close and secure all cupboards and
drawers and check for any loose articles.
(ii) Do not store tins, bottles, etc. in overhead
lockers.
(iii) Close and secure all windows and roof
lights.
(iv) Leave all curtains and blinds open to aid
visibility.
(v) Check that gas cylinders are securely
fastened and that the valve on the gas
cylinder is turned off. Also ensure that the
gas locker door is securely fastened.
(vi) Turn off all gas appliances.
(vii) Switch off 240volt supply at source;
disconnect mains cable and store in an
appropriate place.
(viii) Check that the battery is secure and that
the battery box lid is fastened.
(ix) Ensure the fridge is on 12V operation and
door lock is set. (Note: the electrical
relays will allow the fridge to be run on
the vehicle battery when the engine is
running.)
(x) Remove any external fresh water
connections etc.
(xi) Make sure any heavy articles are stored in
accordance with the loading procedure.
Tables should also be made secure.
(xii) Lock the motorhome exterior door
(remember to take out your keys).
(xiii) Check your external rear view mirrors
and adjust if necessary.
(xiv) If a step is used, ensure it is put away
before moving off.
(xv) Your new Explorer Group motorhome
has been designed to carry passengers in
designated passenger seats only. The fitting
of a 3-point seat belt can identify these
seats. Any seat not fitted with a 3point
seat belt is not designated as a passenger
seat.
(xvi) You are strongly recommended not to
carry passengers unless they are seated in
a designated passenger seat.
(xvii) Check that the water heater cowl cap has
been secured on the external vent.
For Safety
(i) Ensure all the tables have been stored in
their designated table storage position.
(ii) Ensure that the water heater cowl cover
has been secured onto the external vent.
