1.3 Legal framework
1.3.1 Regulations
The vehicle must be registered according to the regulations. There are no specific regulations that apply to the use of
a motorhome. Motorhomes are both vehicles and a form of accommodation that are subject to the following codes,
depending on the country):
• the highway code when driving the vehicle;
• general local legislation and the highway code when parking on the public highway;
• urban land use code when parking on private property.
1.3.2 Warranty
The warranty, guaranteed by the dealership, lasts 24 months from delivery and key handover. The date is specifically mentioned
by the dealer in the box reserved for the purpose on the warranty certificate.
• The warranty only applies to the living area as well as to any transformations made by GP SAS to the chassis base; the chassis
part is covered by the car manufacturer warranty.
• The warranty should, as far as possible, be redeemed by the dealership where the vehicle was purchased, both for the living
area itself and for defective parts that may be changed separately.
• The motorhome shall be made available to the dealer for any exchange or repair. No refund shall be made for the cost of
transport to and from the dealer (both for the motorhome and the people) or other related expenses incurred directly or
indirectly.
• If household appliances are covered by their own manufacturer’s warranty (fridge, heating system, etc.) then contact your
nearest brand representative (see list of representatives provided with the appliance) or, where this is not possible, your Le
Voyageur dealer.
• It is important to fill out the warranty documents for appliances when provided and to return them to the various
manufacturers.

98
The warranty will not apply in the following cases:
• The buyer has not complied with the instructions for use.
• The wheel alignment was not carried out at 1,500km (900 miles).
• The motorhome has been modified by a non-approved person or by installing non-original parts.
• The damage or the defect is due to failure to observe the Highway Code.
• The damage results from improper or negligent use.
• Normal wear and tear.
• The motorhome was repaired in a workshop not approved by GP SAS or without its prior written agreement.
• The motorhome has been transformed or equipped with accessories not fitted by the manufacturer and which are liable to
aect key vehicle characteristics.
1.4 Motorhome conduct
1.4.1 General principles
Good motorhome owners are discreet and must be careful not to leave any trace of their stay. Motorhome owners must
have good manners, respect others and protect the environment. The use of a motorhome as accommodation implies
respecting the rules with regard to the inhabitants of those places visited.
1.4.2 Parking
In town centres or in urban areas, it is advisable to park in areas:
• that are not densely populated
• that do not impair visibility, nor businesses
• where the motorhome will not obstruct trac.
Likewise, using motorhomes as accommodation shall take place in such areas:
• without spreading to the area around the vehicle
• without causing inconvenience to residents
• without monopolising the public area
• without allowing pets to run riot, foul or otherwise disturb the neighbours.
1.4.3 Waste
Wastewater emptying must take place:
• In appropriate places and never near to housing, rivers, streams or crops.
• The emptying of “black” water (from the WC) into the rain water drainage network is strictly prohibited.
All water drainage valves must be closed whilst travelling.
Even fresh water should be emptied discretely, to avoid suspicion. It is always worth asking the local authorities about how to
safely get rid of wastewater. Household garbage must be placed in plastic bags and disposed of in designated places.
Wastewater must be drained o in appropriate places,
never near housing, rivers, streams or crops.
By observing all of these common-sense rules, everyone may fully enjoy the multitude of pleasures provided by the passion
for motorhomes.

2.3.2 Electrical system
Basic 12 V and 230 V electrical supply diagram.
The power supply is made up of a 230 V alternating current 50 Hz part and a 12 V direct current part.
230 V supply
Connecting the motorhome to a 230 V mains supply allows you to:
• recharge the leisure battery;
• use the mains plugs located in the kitchen, bedroom, storage compartment and bathroom;
• run the refrigerator on 230 V;
• operate the heating system if your vehicle is fitted with a heating system which can run at 230 V.
Connecting your motorhome to the 230 V mains supply with a cable/extension connected to the blue plug located in the electrical
compartment or with the reel cable (option) fully unwound:
• is performed using the ventilation tube, after having removed the grid.
Never carry out or allow modifications to installations and electrical
appliances, unless performed by approved fitters. A cable reel must be
completely unwound to prevent the electric power supply cable from
overheating.
Fresh and wastewater tanks are accessible via the hatch under the double floor in the bedroom (except on 682LF where
the hatch is in the kitchen).

Maintenance of your 230 V electrical panel
Your 230 V electrical panel contains at least one dierential device for personal safety. This device is only activated when the
vehicle is connected to an external 230 V plug or when the converter (optional) is running. You should check it once a year
by pressing the test button(s) while the vehicle is connected to an external 230 V plug. Pressing the test button will cut o
all power. If the dierential switch is not triggered, contact your dealer to have it replaced.
12 V supply
The 12 V power supply comes from two batteries: the “engine” battery and the ”leisure” battery. The engine battery supplies
all electrical equipment in the vehicle section.
The leisure battery supplies the electrical appliances in the living quarters. It can be found inside a technical cabinet accessible
from the outside. This battery is of the “semi-stationary” type. Under no circumstances may it be replaced by a vehicle start-
up battery. For any replacement of the leisure battery, it is essential to consult your dealer. The two batteries are separated
by an electronic cut-out switch which charges via the alternator (engine running) or the charger module (motorhome
connected to ext. 230 V supply).
The charger for the electrical unit provides an additional charge to the engine battery to oset low consumption when
running a car radio, for example.
Under no circumstances will this operation completely recharge a depleted battery.
Solar panel
A solar panel may be plugged in (optional). The solar panel regulator (optional) is of MPPT type, and is located in the hatch
under the fridge.
See the manufacturer’s instructions for details of its operation.
A cable is provided for this purpose in the wardrobe on the passenger side or in the rear unit in the room.
For the correct functioning of your solar panel, it should be connected to the 12 V electrical system through a solar regulator
provided by your dealer.
Solar panels often do not provide adequate additional charge when several electric appliances
are used simultaneously at night.

VITAL COMMANDS ISSUED VIA THE CONTROL PANEL

1716
230 V generator outside the vehicle (optional)
To use a generator, consult your dealer for installation
and follow these steps in the right order:
• First, start the generator set.
• Connect the 230 V cable to the motorhome.
Converter (optional)
Your motorhome may be fitted with an optional converter.
The Le Voyageur team has chosen to use bypass converters.
This means that they automatically detect the presence of a connection to the ext. 230 V mains in order to distribute the
230 V to the motorhome plugs. The converter is started via the central control unit
The converter is controlled by the central control unit. To preserve your battery, there is a time limit on use. For the same
reason, below a certain battery power threshold, the central control unit automatically deactivates the converter control
(see central control unit instructions).
Load shedding
Load shedding (cutting all LED strips) takes place in the motorhome when the low battery power threshold is reached.
A message will also appear on the central control unit. This threshold is adjustable (see the user guide for your central control
unit).
Fuses
See the manufacturer’s instructions.
The current consumed should not exceed 90% of the nominal value
of the corresponding fuse on the electric unit.
A generator set connected
to the motorhome’s 230 V system
must be perfectly adjusted (risk
of damage to the internal charger).
Central control unit
The central control unit can be used to control the electrical functions
in the interior of your motorhome and to display information related to
the engine and leisure batteries, and the fresh water and wastewater
tanks. It is located above the entrance door to the living area.
For more detailed information on operating the central control unit, see
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Technical reservations
The motorhome’s electrical installation must comply with required standards. Any interference or modifications made to the
electrical installation may aect safety to persons and to the vehicle and is hence forbidden.
It is formally prohibited to carry out modifications to the central control unit.
Only qualified technicians having followed Le Voyageur training are allowed to intervene.
Service voltage
The rated voltage is 12 V. The power supply by electrical unit allows voltages between 11.2 to 14.5 V.

1918
ByPass emergency unit
Your vehicle is fitted with an emergency unit called “ByPass” that can be used in the event of a power failure to power the
following:
S1: Water pump (15A fuse)
S2: Heating system (20A fuse)
S3: Refrigerator (5A fuse)
S4: Invertible unit (20A fuse)
S5: Light units (20A fuses)
S6: 12V / USB sockets (15A fuse)
In the event of a malfunction in the control panel, press one of the ByPass buttons to activate the function you require. If this
still does not work, open the central part of the ByPass to access the fuse board.
To activate the require function, replace the corresponding fuse (check it is the correct amperage). Several functions can be
powered simultaneously.

Installation
Your motorhome is fitted with a cupboard which may contain
two bottles connected to the network. The gas bottles
should be placed in the external compartment provided for
this purpose. The installation operates only on propane, in all
countries.
The pressure for use is 30 mbar.
For all connections of additional elements on your
installation, consult your dealer (see manual delivered with
the motorhome).
• Do not change the type of regulator.
• Do not use the apparatus under a dierent service pressure
• Replace the flexible supply hoses (tubes) before the date
indicated on them with an approved model, identical to the
original.
The bottles must be securely attached using the straps
provided in the cupboard.
Only qualified fitters are authorised
to work on gas-powered appliances.
Gas system allowing heating while driving.
The pressure regulator has a built-in impact detector. In case of an accident, with a strong deceleration, a mechanical
protection system cuts o the gas inlets. It complies with European regulations and allows you to use the gas heater while
driving.
Apart from the heating, no other appliances are designed to be used when driving.
2.3.4 Ventilation, heating system
The existence of permanent upper and lower ventilation is essential in order to ensure constant air renewal.
• The lower ventilation is generally provided through a vent at the bottom of the furniture or in the floor.
• The main lower ventilation is located in the electrical compartment.
• The upper ventilation is provided through the roof windows, which are permanently aired in compliance with supplier
recommendations.
These devices enable natural air circulation, including inside the bench seats.
The ventilation devices should never
be blocked, even during the winter.
They must be kept clean and dust-free.
The “Twiny” gas cylinder may not function properly in cold weather
when gas consumption is at a peak (heating system). Use a 13kg bottle preferably,
with the “Twiny” in reserve.
Check and tighten the wires before
the first use, and at least once a year.

2322
2.4 Safety
Never leave children unattended in your motorhome. This safety precaution is fundamental in a motorhome, due to the
presence of medium and low voltage electrical appliances and gas-powered equipment.
Using the electric-window command can be dangerous. Ensure that there is no risk of the passengers’ limbs getting caught
in the electric-windows.
2.4.1 Fire
Provide an approved dry powder fire extinguisher with a capacity of at least 1 kg and familiarise yourself with its instructions.
Keep a fire-blanket near the kitchen area.
Consult the local fire safety measures. Do not store aerosol cans in the motorhome; there is a risk that they could explode at
temperatures above 50°C, which can often occur in the summer.
Never use cooking or heating devices other than those installed in the motorhome. If you must plug in a cooking
appliance or electric heater, it must work on the principle of direct radiation to avoid fire and asphyxia hazards.
Refer to “Emergency exits”, for a diagram of the emergency exit(s) in your motorhome
Le Voyageur.
2.4.2 Gas
Gas leak
If you notice the smell of gas, do not turn on lights, hand torches, lighters, matches,
or any electrical item (e.g. switch),
until the smell disappears. You should immediately:
1. Shut o the gas cylinders.
2. Ventilate by opening all outlets.
Keep away from the electric windows when they are operating.
Shut o
the gas cylinders >
2.4.3 Electricity
Any modification or operation of the electrical circuit carried out in a non-compliant manner or without taking account of the
technical specifications of the circuit may cause malfunctioning or create a fire hazard.
The liquid contained inside the leisure battery, just like that in the main battery is toxic and corrosive. Avoid all contact with the
skin or eyes. Keep the battery away from flames, any source of sparks or aerosol cans: risk of fire or explosion
The battery is a dangerous piece of equipment and incorrect handling may provoke intense electric shocks.
Do not generate any sparks: risk of fire or explosion.
2.4.4 Emergency exits
The diagrams below show the emergency exits in your motorhome, in accordance with the applicable regulations.
Always wear suitable eye protection when working on the battery or nearby.

3 - Preparing to travel
3.1 Servicing after immobilisation
3.1.1 Fresh water
Re-pressurisation after a long wintering period can lead to the water arriving in a sporadic manner. It is therefore best to fill
the fresh water tank then to purge the system by leaving the tap on. The pressure becomes constant as soon as there is no
more air in the pipes.
The pump is started via the control panel (see user guide).
3.1.2 Refrigerator
If running on gas, it is essential to remove the external covers on the upper and lower
air vents.
The air vent covers should only be used in the event of very cold weather to protect the
interior. They should also be used during travel when the external temperature is less
than 10°C (in which case it is essential for the refrigerator to operate on the 12 V supply).
3.2 Fill up and levels
3.2.1 Fuel
The fuel tank is accessed by a locked hatch shown by a pictogram on the bodywork.
Consult the user manual of the chassis manufacturer for the technical specificities.
Before filling up, turn o the gas appliances and close the gas bottle taps.
It is strictly prohibited to use gas appliances when filling fuel, including heating,
which may however be used when driving.

3.2.2 Tyre pressure
To drive in complete safety, check the tyre pressure regularly and before any long trip.
Check the pressure when cold. If you need to check the pressure while the tyres are hot, allow for an additional pressure of
0.3 bars. You must adapt the tyre pressure according to the vehicle’s load.
Driving with under-inflated tyres will reduce their lifespan and will create a risk of overheating which may seriously damage
them or even cause them to burst.
Tyre pressure when cold recommended on a FIAT chassis:

Changing a wheel
If you have to replace a wheel, before doing anything:
• Ensure that the ground is flat and stable (if the ground is not stable we advise you to place solid supports under the jack).
• Put the handbrake on.
• Place blocks or stabilisers to immobilise your vehicle.
• Release the wheel slightly before raising the vehicle (place the jack in the positions provided for this purpose so as not to
damage your vehicle).
Tip: to make the task easier, you can use a wheel brace fitted with an extension tube for greater release strength. Do not
forget to check the tightness of the wheel around 100 km after changing it, and also remember to have your damaged tyre
repaired as soon as possible.
3.2.3 Fresh water
There are two ways of filling the fresh water tank:
• Via the filling pipe on which
the funnel is to be tightened.
You can find water supplies in service stations when filling up with fuel. An increasing number of service points are
being set up by local authorities (for filling up with fresh water and emptying your wastewater). Filling is done by
opening the door of the heating system technical area on the left side of your camping car.
• Via the dispenser located in the
technical area (optional).

Installing the bottles:
Position the bottles and ensure that they are correctly strapped in place, tighten the two tubes (ensure that the tubes have a
rubber seal in good condition). Gas bottle connections dier by country, so before replacing a gas bottle in a foreign country,
ensure that the bottle is compatible with your tubes.
Bottle start-up:
Please see the TRUMA Duo Control CS instructions.
3.2.5 Battery
Before setting out on a trip, particularly after a long period of inactivity, check the charge on your
batteries.
To recharge the battery, connect the vehicle to the 230 V mains supply for 24 hours, having
previously checked that the engine battery protection fuse is installed (red 50 A fuse).
This operation can be performed in wintering mode (consult the documentation for the central
control unit).
The battery must not be in contact with any metal object.
The battery housing must be kept closed at all times and must
only contain the battery.
Residual gas: no smoking or naked flames.
3.3 Practical and emergency equipment
You are required to have reflective vests, an emergency warning triangle, and a box of spare bulbs suitable for your motorhome
(please note: the law diers from country to country; keep yourself informed on a case-by-case basis). Pack minimum items,
such as a map, first-aid kit, toolbox, spare bulbs and fuses, water-tank filling pipe, 230 V extension lead.
3.3.1 Bulbs
Headlights Position Type Description Overview
Dipped lights H7 12 V / 55 W
Main beam H7 12 V / 55 W
Leading light PY21W 12 V / 21 W
Fog light H15 12 V / 35W
Rear lights, clearance lights, running lights and side lights.

3.4 Load
3.4.1 Technical specifications
The nameplate (located in the engine compartment) shows:
- the maximum permissible weight of the vehicle
- the gross vehicle weight
- on each axle (1, 2 or 3).
Your motorhome was designed and approved in accordance with strict technical specifications that should be observed, such as:
• the maximum permissible weight (new vehicle)
• the maximum towable weight (for the trailer)
• the gross vehicle weight (vehicle + trailer)
• the maximum loads allowed on each of the axles
• the unladen weight (see “Note”, page 30).
This data appears on your certificate of compliance Some data is also on the vehicle registration certificate:
• Box F1: maximum gross vehicle weight.
• Box F3: maximum gross vehicle weight.
• Box G: mass in running order.
3.4.2 Calculating loads
Calculate your load by taking into account passengers, luggage and full fuel, fresh water and gas capacities.
It should be distributed evenly throughout the dierent storage areas of your vehicle.
Caution, installation of optional heavy equipment or fittings (additional water tank, 230 V air conditioning + generator,
motorcycle carrier etc.) is likely to aect your load.
Failure to respect these instructions may impact motorhome safety conditions, particularly road handling.
Non-compliance with the maximum permissible weight is punishable by a fine and is not covered by your insurance in the event of an
accident. It is possible to reduce the number of legal seats to conform with legislation.
3.4.3 Storing luggage
To avoid having excess baggage, draw up lists for crockery, clothing and personal objects. We advise you to keep them in
a specific place, well wedged into the many storage compartments intended for the purpose, so as to be able to find them
easily. Use the purpose-built storage compartments such as the furniture and outer boots wisely.
Distribution of the load
To preserve the road holding of your motorhome, the centre of gravity of the load must be as low as possible. This will reduce
any undesirable suspension eects, such as rolling, pitching, etc.
Heavy loads must be secured or wedged into place to prevent any untimely movement. If possible they will be placed close
to the motorhome floor and distributed evenly so as not to exceed the maximum permissible loads. The overhead cupboards
(option) and the storage chests located behind the rear axle should be reserved for relatively lightweight objects.
3.4.4 Trailer
Unladen weight Payload Trailer weight
Failure to respect these instructions may lead to dangerous situations in case
of sudden braking or collision.

3332
The trailer weight must be less than or equal to:
• the towable mass of your motorhome (see “Technical specifications”, page 28, chapter 3.4.1)
• the max permissible load for your coupling.
The latter is calculated based on the value D (in kN) indicated on the coupling, using the following formula:
MR = (D x T) ÷ [(9.8 x T) - D]
where T = maximum permissible weight of your motorhome (in tonnes) e.g. if T = 3.5t and D = 12.5 kN, then MR = 2t.
In summary, do not exceed the maximum authorised weights:
Note
Ocial seating classification and Mass in Running Order are calculated as accurately as possible in compliance with European
legislation. They only allow for basic configurations and standard fittings with a ± 5% tolerance. Unladen weights include fresh
water tanks filled to 15% and fuel tanks filled to 90%, plus one bottle of gas filled to 90% and the weight of the driver fixed at 75kg.
Contact your dealer if you wish to add items that might aect this data.
This 5% percentage was retained by the European regulations to take into account possible motorhome weight variations,
linked to manufacturing variations on the basic vehicle and the living area: external metal sheets with a variable average
thickness, humidity rate for porous components etc. To cover these manufacturing variations, Le Voyageur undertakes to
deliver a motorhome whose real empty weight is inside the 5% tolerance compared to the mass in running order indicated
and retained for certification.
Contact your dealer for any further information.

happens to close.
It is forbidden to use a gas-powered appliance in garages,
enclosed parking lots or on ferries.
Depending on the model, the central locking must be deactivated if you leave through the cell door
while the engine is running.
5.3 Supply systems
5.3.1 Turning on the water
A switch on the control panel activates the water supply pressure. The pump works automatically whenever the sink or
washbasin tap is open (drawdown).
While in use, the pump automatically sends water from the tank
to fill the hot water tank and the water heater.
5.3.2 Turning on the gas
• Open the feed valves on the appliances located in the kitchen. If the heating system is used when in motion, the heating
system/water heater valve must remain open.
Taps o Taps on
It may be useful to use chocks to level out the vehicle.
Do not use the pump if empty, as this may damage it.

3938
5.3.3 230 V power system
Connection to the mains is done by means of a cable that can be connected inside the motorhome to the blue P17 plug, or
you can use the reel (optional) located in the electrical compartment. This outlet must be earthed to prevent accidents. Plug
in the mains cable then activate the circuit breaker located next to the electrical unit, to supply the cell.
To avoid damaging your charger, ensure that the supply provides 230 V ±10 %.
Connect the motorhome to a 230 V outlet as often as possible
to prolong the life of the leisure battery.
5.4 Draining
Motorway parking lots, service stations and municipal rest areas often provide terminals for draining wastewater.
Do not leave draining to the last moment.
5.4.1 Wastewater
To drain, pull the handle of the drainage valve located in the heating system
compartment, identified on the bodywork by a pictogram.
5.4.2 WC
To empty the WC tank, consult the manufacturer’s instructions.
