If you do have a pressurized water pump, please ensure that the pump is turned off at the switch when not in use.   AIR CONDITIONER INSIDE THE CAB: The A/C for the driver and his/her passenger's works from the campervans' engine, therefore it will only work when the engine is running. Please can you consider the environment and not leave the engine running in idle to power the A/C unit.   DINER CONVERTS TO A COMFY DOUBLE BED: The flexible dining area simply converts into a BIG BED which is approximately 1.9m long by 1.7 wide, so there is plenty of room to relax in.   ROOF BED: This great space saving feature gives you a second bed in the roof of the campervan.
