Looking  for a Barbecue  for your motorhome  ??
Our choice without a doubt is a weber baby Q - the model with the thermometer on the lid -
this is ideal as it has a drop down lid in high winds and  it fits a full chicken
Very important to purchase a trivet  and foil tray at the time - place the chicken on the trivet - put the lid down and approx 1.20 min later it is golden brown colour and succulent 

Do i need a gas outlet  for my barbecue  on my motorhome  ?
We advise not - the reason is that you are very limited  in that one place with a gas outlet on your motorhome  ,
you are better off not to have one  - you can guarantee the wind could change  once your barbecue is going and you could be all smoked out  in your motorhome , your best bet is to get a second gas bottle and you can place this outside where ever you want away from the wind.
If you still insist we can fit one - we will advise on price  

Your Thetford toilet is important to use it correctly   !

• It is important to use only Aqua Kem Blue  as pictured to the cassette  ( no other chemical  ) 
• Only add 120mls  to cassette  ( summer temp 30 degrees  add 180 mls to cassette   )
• Always open the shutter before using toilet    
• Important to only use toilet for both poo and wee  ( not just wee as vehicle will smell of urine)  
• Chemical works up to  6 days  - then empty cassette 
  
  And off course only dispose at a  proper recognised  Dump station

Why was Fiat Ducato chassis voted for best chassis to use for motorhome in its class  ???

Not all manufacturers of chassis are the same - it is very important to understand this for the following reasons

Most important  factor is

INCREASED REAR TRACK

The Fiat Ducato has an increased rear track (1980 mm, category best-in-class, 190 more than the standard track) permits greater stability on the road -  and offers greater width for the living cell.

This is important - if you dont have the wider rear axle on a motorhome in this class -
then a vehicle will wander all over the road and hard to control on the road .
We have seen this happening with some other brands of chassis  - they are on the market  today -

This is why  Fiat Ducato is recognised in europe as the best selling motorhome with at least 85% of sales the Fiat chassis

You have to remember -
In the Fiat Ducato Factory  in Sevel Italy  - they are still manufacturing 1000 units per day   !!
You did read it right  - YES one thousand units per day 

There is a number of customers asking us about the number of safety belts in ci motorhomes ?

We are repeatedly asked this question as we hear some motorhomes out there that are sold as a 4 berth motorhome and only have 2 safety belts  - we believe it should only be advertised as a 2 berth only  . As very misleading if advertised as a 4 berth.
This will also affect resale value  

To add 1 extra safety belt can be $3500  and upwards in costing  - depending on whats required  to be modified
on the motorhome to meet regulations.

You will be pleased to know our 3  berth Kyros  Duo Prestige has 4 safety belts 
And our Ci Triaca 4 berth motorhomes  have  4 Safety Belts  
ALL  other models  have  5  safety  Belts  all certified  

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.

• 1000  Vehicles are manufactured each day

Fiat Ducato GPS  Software  Updates  -  ???
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 
Fabulous sound - very important this model
