OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 11-1<br />
Winter operation<br />
Your <strong>Karmann</strong> mobile home can be used in<br />
winter. In order to avoid disturbances to<br />
operation, however, you should consider the<br />
following points:<br />
Fresh and waste water equipment<br />
also remain functional below zero.<br />
However, the vehicle heating must be<br />
on continuously.<br />
Addition of cooking salt over the sink<br />
drain reduces the risk of the waste water<br />
slider of icing up.<br />
Butane does not turn into gas at tempera<br />
tures below 0°C. Propane is unproblemati<br />
cal in this respect.<br />
The anti-freeze protective device of the<br />
heating system empties the boiler<br />
automatically at temperatures of approx.<br />
3°C in the boiler area. If the vehicle is<br />
heated, the temperature in the boiler area<br />
is generally higher, however. If the<br />
temperature should sink below 3°C,<br />
please follow the procedure described<br />
with regard to the safety valve on Page 5-4.<br />
Note<br />
As the fall in pressure in the fresh water<br />
system sets the fresh water pump into<br />
circulation through the automatic<br />
emptying of the boiler, the entire fresh<br />
water supply can be discharged via the<br />
boiler. This can cause damage to the<br />
pump if it runs dry. Therefore always set<br />
the pump or main switch on the Bord-<br />
Control Panel to "Off" when leaving the<br />
vehicle (Page 6-1).<br />
In winter check after every journey that<br />
the automatic venting system of the gas<br />
cylinder box is not blocked by ice or<br />
snow.<br />
Winter covers are available for the vent<br />
openings of the refrigerator with gas<br />
operation in winter as an optional extra.<br />
The covers may also remain in place<br />
during operation in winter.<br />
Sufficient ventilation<br />
is particularly important in winter, in order<br />
to eliminate the high humidity which<br />
arises because of cooking, damp clothes<br />
etc. Humidity can also be reduced with a<br />
commercial dehumidifier.<br />
Free the roof hatch regularly of snow in<br />
order to free penetration of melting water<br />
through the vents.<br />
Do not secure your vehicle with the<br />
handbrake (danger of freezing). Engage a<br />
gear and place wedges under the wheels.<br />
A winter partition is available to separate<br />
the driver's cabin from the rest of the<br />
vehicle.
