MOTORHOME HIRER’S GUIDE
CHAUSSON 2 BERTH
General Care of the Motorhome
Be sure that you feel confident with all the operations and functions of the motorhome.
If you are uncertain of anything please ask us to clarify it during the hand over.
Please remember at all times that in order to keep the overall weight down many of the
fittings are quite fragile – and expensive. In particular the windows must be closed
gently and as the table is in fact hollow, don’t drop anything onto it. A broken window or
table top will cost you about £350!
Pre-Travel Checks
You can do serious damage if you move off without carrying out these checks:
• All cables and hoses are unplugged
• *Gas has been turned off at the bottle and the fridge set to ‘Vehicle Battery’
• All windows and skylights are closed and locked
• Aerial has been lowered and levelled
• Loose articles, cupboards and drawers are secured
• **All occupants are using seat belts
* IT IS ILLEGAL TO TRAVEL WITH THE GAS CYLINDERS TURNED ON.
** IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ANYONE TO TRAVEL IN THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WEARING
A SEAT BELT
Vehicle Return
The motorhome must be returned on time in a clean state and with the toilet cassette
emptied.
DO NOT use any cleaners apart from those provided.
Remember there is a £50 penalty for failing to empty and clean the inside of the toilet
cassette.
The vehicle must be returned with a full tank of diesel.

Water Systems
Fresh Water
The fresh water tank holds 130 litres. Driving with a full tank will increase the fuel
consumption.
We will fill the tank 1/2 full for hand over. This ensures there is enough for the odd cup
of tea etc. before you arrive at your destination. So fill up the tank when you arrive, and,
if you wish, drain off down to about 1/2 when you set off again.
You can check the level of the contents on the control panel by the entrance door.
Using the fresh water system with lower levels 1/2 full can cause severe damage to the
water pump which can only be fixed after the vehicle has been returned, leaving you
without water for the rest of your hire.
To fill the fresh water tank, place a hose into the water filling inlet, which is located on
the left-hand side of the vehicle to the rear of the passenger door.
Please note we do not recommend you use the fresh water system for drinking water.
Waste Water
To empty waste water (shower and sinks - nothing to do with the toilet), park the
motorhome over an appropriate area and pull the handle under the rear right of the
vehicle towards you and stand well back!.
There is a second tank for the sink. The handle can be found on the right hand side
close to the exhaust pipe. Close handle when finished.
Note: When the waste tank is full the red light will come on on the control panel and you
will not be able to run any fresh water.
