This chapter contains important information which has to be noted before commencing
your journey or carrying out any tasks before the journey.
The instructions address the following topics:
keys
registration
calculating the payload
correct loading of the motorhome
towing
retracting and extending the entrance step
walking on the PVC-floor covering

At the end of the chapter there is a checklist which once again summarises the
most important points.
4.1 Keys
The following keys are included with the motorhome:
Two keys for
ignition lock
driver's and passenger's doors
fuel tank
Two keys for
conversion door of the body
fresh water filler neck
external flaps
Always deposit a replacement key outside the vehicle. Make a note of the key
number. The Dethleffs dealer will be able to offer assistance in case of loss.
4.2 Registration
Your motorhome is a vehicle which must be registered. Observe national regulations
on registration.
Please remember that certain countries require a separate national code
sticker in addition to the EU plate.
4.3 Payload
Overloading the vehicle and wrong tyre pressure can cause tyres to
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-todrive
condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the
vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have
your loaded vehicle (with passengers) weighed on a public weighbridge
before you set out on your journey.
