Travel recommendations

  • Low solar output (~0.5 kWh) — reduce power use or connect to shore power.
  • Wind is calm — safe to open the awning and leave it out overnight.
  • Sub-zero night (-5.5°C) — drain water tanks and pipes to prevent freezing.
  • High condensation risk — ventilate before sleep and leave a small gap in the roof vent.
