Warranty for your motorhome

To ensure years of driving pleasure with your motorhome, we recommend that you adhere to the inspection intervals specified by Renault. These are required either after 2 years or after 40,000 kilometers. You can find out the exact intervals from a Renault Service Partner near you.

Every Ahorn Camp motorhome has a mobility guarantee from the date of production. This becomes effective after registration of the motorhome, upon presentation of the vehicle and warranty certificate, on the date of first registration.

The warranty claims for the Renault chassis, the body by Ahorn Camp, as well as for accessories and manufacturer's equipment amount to 2 years.

A 5-year guarantee is given on the tightness of the superstructures, subject to compliance with the tightness tests. Warranty claims are only valid if work is carried out by service partners authorized by Ahorn Camp and if the specified leak test intervals are observed.

The following data is required by RENAULT Assistance in order to check the entitlement to benefits and to determine the further procedure in the event of a breakdown:

  1. Customer name and telephone number
  2. Vehicle model
  3. Vehicle identification number
  4. Mileage and registration date
  5. License plate
  6. Location of the vehicle
  7. Type of breakdown

A 17-digit number, consisting of letters and numbers, which is uniquely assigned to a vehicle on the chassis. It can be found in column "E" in your vehicle registration certificate or on the right-hand side of your windshield.

The prerequisite is a breakdown. What does this mean?
A breakdown is:
- a sudden and unforeseeable failure of a vehicle, caused by the failure of mechanical parts or the electrical system, which leads to the vehicle coming to an immediate standstill.
- a ban on starting or continuing the journey at all due to the red warning indicator for oil, coolant or brake fluid lighting up.

A breakdown case is not available for events such as:
- the general recall of products
- regular or other maintenance
- the installation of accessories
- inadequate maintenance of the vehicle, for example :

  •  Failures of the vehicle due to non-compliance with the maintenance intervals and maintenance instructions
  • Vehicle failures that are due to defects that are already known but have not yet been rectified
  • Failures of the vehicle due to the fact that necessary repairs already recommended by RENAULT partners have not been carried out by the owner
  • Plannable repairs, i.e. no sudden and unforeseeable breakdowns

The customer can claim the same benefits abroad as in Germany, provided that a breakdown occurs within the above-mentioned geographical area of validity.
There are also additional services, such as the option of shipping parts. Vehicle return transportation can be arranged with RENAULT Assistance if the vehicle cannot be repaired within 5 working days.

Please send an e-mail to service@ahorn-camp.de with chassis number, description and photos.

The leak test or body inspection is maintenance that must be carried out regularly in order to ensure the leak tightness guarantee.

During the leak test or body inspection, certain areas of the vehicle are checked for moisture and, if necessary, exterior flaps including the body door are adjusted, the hinges of the furniture caps and the rubber seals on the windows and exterior flaps are checked.

For vehicles with first registration date until August 31, 2017 the leak test must be carried out every 6 months on the date of first registration. For example, if your vehicle was first registered on 07.01.2016, the first leak test must be carried out by 07.07.2017. Each subsequent leak test must then be carried out 6 months later, i.e. 07.01. /07.07. /07.01 etc. This is the information from the manufacturer.

For vehicles with first registration date as of September 01, 2018the leak test must be carried out every 12 months on the date of initial registration.

In order to meet these requirements, we recommend that our customers contact our service department in good time (approx. 3 weeks in advance) to arrange an appointment. If no appointment is available in our workshop despite an early request, you always have the option of having the leak test carried out by one of our partners.

The inspection may be carried out a maximum of 7 days before or 7 days after the deadline (date of first registration). If this is not possible, we can grant a margin of approx. 14 days as a gesture of goodwill in individual cases, +/- the EZ date.

If the inspection date is exceeded by more than 14 days, please bear in mind that the warranty is void.

The inspection must be carried out either after 2 years or after 40,000 kilometers. Whichever comes first.

Read carefully from page 249 of the gray manual (IN) Service.

If the vehicle will not be used for a longer period of time (3 days or more), switch the PoverLink to 0 and disconnect the battery terminals on the quick release in order to disconnect the power supply completely.

With Euro 6b, the alternator is active until the starter battery has reached the charge required for a restart, after which the CAN bus switches off the alternator so that the starter battery is no longer charged.

As both batteries are connected in parallel when the engine is running, the body battery is not charged either.

It is also possible to have a charging booster installed. This enables the batteries to continue charging independently of the CAN bus.

You can activate or deactivate the heating using a switch. When the appliance is activated, the waste water tank heats up when the temperature drops below 2.5 °C. If the temperature is above 4 °C, the heating stops, even if it is activated. When the temperature drops below 2.5 °C again, it starts to heat up.
