Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 2.27 metre width carefully when navigating narrow country lanes.
- Regularly inspect the seals on the pop-top roof to ensure weatherproofing at the 2.05 metre height.
- Make use of swivel seats in the Front Dinette layout to maximise the 4.97 metre interior space.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the 700kg payload by failing to account for the weight of water and gas.
- Assuming all models have 4 berths; some configurations are strictly 2 berth.
Worth knowing: Always verify the specific MTPLM on the converter's plate as it may differ from the base Ford 3100kg rating.
