To winterize your Compass Avantgarde Campervan 2019, start by draining all water systems, including the fresh water tank, waste water tank, and water heater. Next, add RV antifreeze to the plumbing system, and ensure all seals and vents are secure to prevent moisture ingress.
Check the water pump power supply and fuse. Ensure the pump switch is turned on and the water tank has enough water. If these are all in order, inspect the pump for clogging or damage.
To maximize fuel efficiency, maintain a steady speed, reduce idling time, ensure tires are properly inflated, and avoid carrying unnecessary weight. Regular engine maintenance also helps improve fuel economy.
Regularly inspect and maintain the engine, brakes, and tires every 10,000 miles. Check the water and electrical systems before each trip, and service the interior appliances annually.
Begin by checking the battery connections and charge level. Inspect fuses and circuit breakers for any faults, and look for loose or damaged wires. Use a multimeter to test electrical components if necessary.
Store the campervan in a dry, covered location. Disconnect the battery, cover vents, and keep the tires inflated. Consider using a breathable cover to protect the exterior from weather damage.
Use high-quality bedding, add a mattress topper for extra cushioning, and ensure proper ventilation to maintain a comfortable sleeping environment. Blackout curtains can also enhance sleep quality.
Check the heater's power supply and thermostat settings. Ensure that the fuel source is adequate and inspect the vents for blockages. If problems persist, consult a professional technician.
Regularly wash and wax the exterior to protect the finish. Inspect seals and seams for wear, and apply sealant as necessary. Keep windows and mirrors clean and check for any signs of rust or damage.
Common issues include water leaks, electrical faults, and appliance malfunctions. Regular maintenance and timely inspections can prevent many problems. Address issues promptly by consulting the user manual or a qualified service technician.
