FIAT DUCATO  FACTORY PRODUCTION LINE
Ducato is made in the Sevel Plant in Atessa, Val di Sangro, Italy, the largest light commercial vehicle plant in Europe. The bases which are converted into motorhomes by expert converters and hit the road as recreational vehicles have been made here since 1981. Six generations of Ducato have rolled off the lines of the plant onto the roads of Europe for the satisfaction of hundreds of thousands of users, merit of its many body variants, the square and regular shape of its loading compartment, its efficient chassis and its car-like driving. Qualities like these make it the best-seller on all major markets across Europe and the ideal base to be converted into a motorhome. Experts are expecting 120,000 new registrations in 2018, which is about 10 per cent increase on last year. Demand is growing year after year on all markets and has totalled approximately 50 per cent over four years.

All Ci Motorhomes do Not have a  GPS  for a reason  - we have advised for years not to get the GPS  unit on your Fiat motorhome
The maps can not be upgraded  or software can not be updated for NZ  Maps 
And when it does become available to upgrade the software it will be cheaper to use google maps or buy a new GPS  unit 
This is what we have advised for years 
We purchase the Top of the range Fiat Stereo system  fitted in Fiat Factory  ( not standard)  with CD ,Bluetooth , touch display  ,controls on steering wheel ,(reads your emails and texts on late model phone )   this is not the standard stereo by Fiat

Caring For your Eco Leather  Upholstery

It is imperative  to take  care of  your Eco Leather Upholstery in your motorhome  ,
If  you look after  your  upholstery  it  will look after  you  !!  Long  time 

 clean it regularly with a mild soap solution, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight and excessive heat,
and use a synthetic leather conditioner to maintain its flexibility and moisture levels;

If you do Not look after the upholstery  - it  will deteriorate .
You should  also clean it  when it  starts to soil from dirt  or grease on clothing and  direct dirt on  skin contact  ,

It is  important  NOT   to  use cleaning chemicals on the upholstery as it  will  deteriorate  real quick .
You should only use  a  damp microfibre  cleaning  cloth with a tiny amount of  mild  sunlight  liquid.
DO NOT USE THE WRONG CLEANER OR CONDITIONER 

You should  also close your roof vent shades  in summer  when vehicle is parked and not used as  otherwise the sun will damage the interior 
If you do not  do this the  sun will deteriorate your interior real quick  on any motorhome  !!!

The  difference is  if  you dont  close  your blind   on your roof  vents  then the sun will come  through the roof  vents 
(which acts as a magnifying glass  on furnishings and upholstery   in your motorhome  -  and  also overheat  and damage the  interior
thats  why they design roof vent blinds on motorhomes  )

TO  USE  THEM  

All Leather, Eco Leather, Fabrics will not last directly in the sun -
(you will need to purchase a eco leather conditioner to condition your upholstery )
Just like a spa pool cover will generally only last  5 to 6 years -without conditioner 
No more  vinyl  roofs on cars as only would  last approx  5 years
