Compass Camino Touring 2019 Owner Handbook

To winterize your caravan, first drain all water systems, including the fresh water tank, wastewater tank, and water heater. Add antifreeze to the plumbing system, ensuring it circulates through all taps. Remove perishable items and clean the interior thoroughly. Finally, disconnect the battery and store it in a safe place.
Before traveling, check tire pressure and condition, ensure all lights are functioning, and verify that the brakes are operational. Secure all interior items and ensure that the hitch connection is tight and secure. Check the fluid levels and top up if necessary.
Start by checking the main fuses and circuit breakers. Verify the battery charge level and connections. Ensure that the hookup cable is properly connected to a power source. For persistent issues, consult a professional electrician.
Regularly clean and sanitize the water tanks to prevent bacterial growth. Inspect hoses and connections for leaks, and check the water pump for proper operation. Replace water filters as recommended by the manufacturer.
To reduce condensation, ensure proper ventilation by opening windows and roof vents. Use a dehumidifier if necessary. Avoid drying clothes inside and cook with lids on pots to minimize indoor humidity.
Use a mild detergent and soft brush to clean the caravan's body. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all soap residues. Avoid using high-pressure washers, as they can damage seals and joints. Wax the exterior to protect the finish.
It is recommended to service your caravan at least once a year. This includes checking the braking system, suspension, and tires, as well as inspecting the gas and electrical systems for safety.
Check the gas supply and ensure that the gas bottle is full and the valve is open. Inspect the fuses and circuit breakers related to the heating system. If the issue persists, consult with a qualified technician.
Regularly clean the awning fabric with a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Ensure it is completely dry before rolling it up to prevent mold and mildew. Inspect the awning mechanism and lubricate moving parts as needed.
Identify the source of the leak and apply a temporary sealant if necessary. Check roof seals, windows, and doors for gaps or damage. For a permanent fix, it is advisable to seek professional repair services.
