Congratulations
We congratulate you on your new Globecar motorhome and would like to thank you for choosing a quality
product from us.
Whatever journey you are planning - you will always have the perfect companion with a Globecar motorhome:
whether it is a city break, a short trip or a family holiday. The innovative and well-thought out floor plans offer
you a variety of options and the contemporary interior design in all our models gives off a homely atmosphere.
You will be amazed at the high standard of quality and all the variations available - space problems are a thing
of the past in our motorhomes. Many practical details will prove extremely useful when on the road and will
allow you to relax even more on your holiday.
Each Globecar motorhome is manufactured with great care and the quality is closely checked. This ensures
that our products have a long service life.
This instruction manual primarily contains information on how to dismantle the living area of your motorhome.
It will give you all important information and tips so that you can enjoy all technical advantages of your
motorhome to the full. We have also included a chapter on maintenance - and thus on the conservation of
value.
In addition, you will find the documents on the base vehicle and the various built-in appliances.
For maintenance work or whenever you need some help, please always get in touch with your Globecar dealer.
They know your motorhome best of all, and will meet all your requests fast and reliably.
We wish you a lot of fun with your motorhome, a relaxing holiday and safe driving at all times.

Introduction

2.1 General
The vehicle is constructed in accordance with the latest technology and the
recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless, personal injury may result and
the vehicle may be damaged if the safety instructions in this instruction manual
are not followed.
Only use the vehicle in a technically impeccable condition. Follow the instruc-
tions in the instruction manual.
Malfunctions which impair the safety of persons or the vehicle should be
immediately remedied by qualified personnel.
Have the vehicle's braking and gas systems inspected and repaired by an
authorised specialist workshop only.
Alterations to the body are only to be carried out with the authorisation of the
manufacturer.
The vehicle is designed for the exclusive transport of persons. Luggage and
accessories may only be transported up to the maximum permissible gross
weight.
Observe the test or inspection periods stipulated in the instruction manual.
2.2 Environmental tips
 Remember that: All kinds of waste water and household waste are not to
be disposed of in drains or in the open countryside.
 Only empty the waste water tank and Thetford cassette at disposal sta-
tions, at camping sites or caravan sites, that are especially provided for this
purpose. When stopping in towns and communities, observe the instruc-
tions at caravan sites or ask where there are disposal stations.
 Empty waste water tank as often as possible, even when it is not com-
pletely full (hygiene).
If possible, flush out waste water tank and drainage pipe with fresh water
every time it is emptied.
 Never allow the Thetford cassette to become too full. Empty the Thetford
cassette frequently, at the latest as soon as the filling level display lights up.
 Separate household waste according to glass, tin cans, plastic and wet
waste also when on a journey. Enquire at the town or community authority
about disposal points. Household waste is not to be disposed of in waste
paper baskets which are situated at car parks.
 Empty waste bins as often as possible into the containers provided for this
purpose. This helps to avoid unpleasant smells and an accumulation of
rubbish on board.
 When parked, do not allow the engine to run more than necessary. When
running idle, a cold engine releases more contaminants than usual. The
running temperature of the engine is achieved more quickly whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
 Use an environmentally-friendly WC chemical agent for the WC which can
also be biologically degraded and only use small doses.
 When staying in towns and communities for long periods, search for
parking areas that are specially reserved for motorhomes. Enquire at the
town or community authority about parking spaces.
