Ownership and Towing Tips
- Utilise the parallel lounge for dining to keep the kitchen area clear for preparation.

- Ensure weight is distributed evenly to compensate for the 2.21 m width during narrow manoeuvres.
Common mistakes to avoid

- Assuming all two berth models have the same towing requirements; always check the 1175 kg MTPLM against your vehicle.
Worth knowing: Stability should be monitored during transit due to the lightweight chassis.
