Camping Practices

Awning

  • Extension – remove carefully, supporting with legs while extending. Tighten the straps after the awning is fully extended.
  • Use in light rain – tilt one side of the awning downward so water can drain and not form pools. If you don't do this, a lot of water can collect and break the awning from its weight.
  • Use in light wind – the straps are for additional reinforcement. When forecasting strong winds always retract the awning.
  • Never leave it unattended – sudden wind can damage it seriously.

Kitchen and cooking

  • Lighting the burners – open both glass lids. Turn the knob and press down until you hear gas hissing. While pressing, light using the burner ignition button or with a lighter. If it goes out immediately after releasing the knob, try again and release more slowly.
  • Reheating food – In a pot with very little water, on the burner, you can reheat almost anything.
  • Cleaning – after cooking clean the burners with damp kitchen paper. When boiling over, wipe immediately to prevent burning on.
  • Washing dishes - every camper has sponges, dish soap and a drying rack. Campsites are equipped with dishwashing stations, which make washing much easier and we recommend them. The collapsible basin is ideal for carrying dishes there and back.

Sleep and bedding equipment

  • Roof tent – press the release button and push upward. Before storing, remove pillows and blankets. Locking the tent is done with a short but firm pull to engage the locking mechanism.
  • Drop-down bed – lowers smoothly by pulling, and just as easily stores away, push it up and lock the straps.
  • Extra blankets – if you don't need them, fold and store in the trunk, in the bag for them.
  • Pillows – If there are extras, leave them on the front seats.

Washing and drying clothes and towels

Most campsites have washing machines and dryers. Campers have clothes drying racks and a collapsible basin, if something needs to be hand washed.

Cleaning and maintenance

  • Before returning – make sure the toilet cassette is emptied and cleaned, gray water is disposed of, and the camper is tidy.
