Congratulations on your new Karmann Mobile Home
You have made the right decision, for Karmann has been building mobile homes for more than
100 years. That means quality and reliability. And that is why Karmann is mentioned in the same breath as the best
automobile manufacturers.
We don't simply put any body on any chassis. On the contrary: safe handling can only be achieved if a first-class
chassis from an excellent manufacturer is given an body which is perfectly adapted to it, a body from Karmann-Mobil.
And what about service and replacement parts? Who wants to get stuck somewhere with a broken windscreen?
A network of selected partners will make sure that fast help is available everywhere.
Karmann-Mobil - that means quality, reliability and pleasure for many years ahead.
We wish you a safe and happy journey.
Yours sincerely Karmann-Mobil Vertriebs GmbH

ON-BOARD LITERATURE
These accessories have been especially
developed for your vehicle and tested for
reliability, safety and suitability - please also
note the instructions regarding the basic
chassis.
Detailed assembly and operation instructions
are of course included with these
accessories.
This additional literature contains important
notes for operation and care of your mobile
home as well as for use of its equipment.
The many practical tips included in it are
intended to make it easy for you to use your
Karmann mobile home in the best way
possible, safely and in an environmentally-
friendly way.
In the interests of safety, please read the
information regarding use of the gas
equipment and the 230 Volt vehicle electrical
supply system.
You will find all general information regarding
operation and handling of your vehicle in the
operating instructions for the basic chassis.
Sections with this symbol written in
italics offer important information on
environmental protection
If you wish to equip your mobile home with
special accessories such as bicycle, ski or
surfboard racks or awnings, you should take
advantage of the range on offer from
Karmann Mobil dealers.
