How do I know when I need a service?

Depending on the age of your van this may be displayed on the instrument cluster or you may need to look at the service book provided with your van, typically van services are due every 18,000 miles or every 2 years.

How do I check my oil level?

Remove the dipstick from the engine, clean it with a clean cloth. Reinsert the dipstick and identify the level mark. From minimum to maximum mark is 1 litre; please top up according to the correct oil for your van. This is normally 5w30, however, if unsure please refer to the owner’s manual or check with a suitably qualified person.

Can I retrospectively fit upgrades to my conversion?

You can fit almost any upgrades to your campervan within our workshop. This can include anything from sidebars, roof racks, bike racks, solar panels, tow bars, parking sensors, and suspension upgrades, to name a few. Contact our service department to find out more.

How do I attach an awning?

Simply thread your awning through the C-Rail already fitted to your camper van. If you do not have a C-Rail fitted, please contact our service department to discuss having one fitted.

How do I tie my roof down properly?

To ensure that your roof is tied down correctly, double loop your roof strap around the tie down bars on the pop top, loop this through the bottom tie down bar, then through the clasp and pull tight, repeat this for the other side and until there is no movement. Pull in the sides of the tent to ensure that there is no damage to the fabric when closing.

Why isn’t my fridge getting cold?

First check the temperature settings on your fridge, the small blue light indicates the warmest setting and the large blue light indicates the coldest. Set this to your desired temperature. The first light above the on button indicates that the fridge is turned on, the second light when blue indicates the compressor is running, this light then turns orange when the fridge is at the desired temperature. If your fridge, still isn’t getting to the desired temperature, ensure that your leisure battery is sufficiently charged. If you are still experiencing issues, please contact the service department.
