Traveling with children in a motorhome
A child whose height is less than 135 cm has to be in a type approved safety device when traveling. However, children under 3 years have to be traveling always in a baby seat, meaning that if a baby seat cannot be installed in to the vehicle children under 3 years cannot travel in the vehicle.
All children whose height is under 135 cm must be seated in a child seat or a booster seat when traveling in a motorhome.
WINTER TRAVEL
Although all our models are equipped with a functional shower, toilet, and kitchen sink, the water system is especially sensitive to damages and malfunctions under extremely cold temperatures. The client will be responsible for ensuring that the rental vehicle is heated properly at all times. The use of the water system cannot be guaranteed if exterior temperatures fall below -10 °C.
Under extreme exterior temperatures below -10 °C, gas will be the main source of power when heating the living area of the vehicle. Please, be prepared for the consumption of gas to be substantially higher than in the summer months. The duration of one gas bottle during the winter season can be reduced to one or two days. If passengers will visit other countries with their rental vehicle, they will find unmatching gas connectors for gas bottles and possibly different formats of gas from the ones provided in the country where the motorhome was collected. This means that it will not be possible to fill up the gas cylinders in the vehicle or connect foreign bottles with a different connector. Some countries offer a wide selection of gas filling stations but some few or none. The customer must ensure that they have enough gas if they visit other countries with a different gas bottle connection.*
*Please refer to the site www.mylpg.eu to access a map of Liquified Petroleum Gas refilling stations in Norway and Sweden.
The heating system will also require the vehicle batteries to maintain an appropriate charge level at all times. To ensure a safe battery level, and guarantee a smooth start of the diesel engine, the vehicle should be connected to an external electricity grid overnight, whenever possible. With exterior temperatures below -25°C, the engine won´t start without connecting the vehicle to an exterior source of electricity for pre-heating.
The grey water tank is located outside of the vehicle (in an unheated space), therefore, the emptying valve must be kept open at all times to prevent the water from freezing inside the tank and causing permanent damage. Because the wastewater coming from the shower and the taps will flow straight out of the vehicle, the use of the shower system must be reserved until the vehicle is parked in a suitable area to dispose of the wastewater.
Winter tires are always provided free of charge when the winter weather conditions require it, following the local traffic legislation of each country. In addition to winter tires, customers will also receive additional winter equipment free of charge, such as a snow shovel, ice scraper, snow brush, and lock oil. This equipment will only be provided if the weather conditions require it during the rental period.
