WINTER CAMPERS

SAFELY WINTERPROOF – When used properly, all TABBERT caravans are suitable for the winter. They are completely insulated and equipped with a modern heating system and boiler. The vehicles are tested at temperatures as low as -15° C. In addition, our vehicles have been tested in wintery conditions as per DIN EN 1645-1 2012 (Leisure accommodation vehicles – Caravans) For those campers who would like to use the heating cartridge during their journey, they can also equip their caravan with our special “Truma SecuMotion” package.

BEFORE YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS

Please ensure that there is a sufficient supply of gas.
In the winter, only use 100% propane gas to heat. If the share of butane gas is too high, then the heating system may be damaged.
Prior to your journey, heat the vehicle and check if the heating system is working properly.
During the heating phase, open all drawers, flaps and storage compartments to avoid a build-up of condensation.
It is imperative to charge the living quarter's battery completely via a 230-volt charge. If the battery is empty, a recharge will take at least 18 hours.

DURING THE WINTER CAMPING

In the wintertime, please ensure that the temperature in the heating area does not fall below 5° C and that the battery is kept at a properly charged level.
During your winter camping tour, ensure that the vehicle is well ventilated, since otherwise a high level of condensation water build-up is possible. This is the result of wet clothing, cooking water vapour or the passengers’ breathing.
Use shock ventilation to ensure that there is sufficient circulation.
Be sure to operate the heating, even if the campers have vacated the vehicle for several hours.
Always keep the forced ventilation open.
Clear large amounts of snow from the roof.
The heating grate must always be free of snow and ice (for WW only C-heating or Alde heating).
