Warranty of 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 motorhome from Ahorn Camp comes with 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 are for 2 years.

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

The following data are required by RENAULT Assistance 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. Km status and registration date
  5. Registration number
  6. Location of the vehicle
  7. Nature of the breakdown

A 17-digit number, consisting of letters and numbers, which is assigned once to a vehicle on the chassis. It is located in column "E" in your car registration document or on the right side of your windscreen.

The prerequisite is a breakdown. What does this mean?
A breakdown is
- a sudden and unforeseeable breakdown 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 illumination of the red warning indicator for oil, coolant level or brake fluid.

A breakdown does not exist in the case of 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 which are due to non-compliance with the maintenance intervals and maintenance instructions
  • vehicle failures due to defects already known but not yet repaired
  • vehicle breakdowns 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

Abroad, the customer can claim the same services as in Germany, provided a breakdown occurs within the above-mentioned geographical area of validity.
There are also additional services, such as the possibility 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.

We will put you in touch with our workshop.

The tightness test or body inspection is a maintenance which must be carried out regularly to ensure the tightness guarantee.

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

For vehicles with an initial registration date up to 31 August 2017, the leak test must be carried out every 6 months on the date of initial registration. If, for example, the date of first registration of your vehicle was 07.01.2016, the first leak test must be carried out by 07.07.2017. Each further leakage test must then always be carried out 6 months later i.e. 07.01./07.07./07.01 etc. As far as the information from the manufacturer.

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

In order to be able to comply with these requirements, we recommend our customers to contact our service department at an early stage (approx. 3 weeks in advance) to arrange an appointment. If, despite an early inquiry, no appointment is available in our workshop, you always have the possibility to have the leak test carried out by one of our partners.

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

If the check date is exceeded by more than 14 days, please remember that the guarantee is void.

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

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

If the vehicle is not used for a long period of time (3 days or more), switch the PoverLink to 0 and disconnect the battery terminals on the quick release to disconnect power completely.

With Euro 6b, the alternator is active until the starter battery has reached the charge level required for restarting, after which the CAN bus switches off the alternator and the starter battery is no longer charged.

Since 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 (in Speyer for €550). This enables the batteries to be charged 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.
