NISSAN Adventure Club eBook 06 Trip Planner
INFORMATION
Planning is essential especially if choosing a self-catering or camping
option. This planner is purely a guideline and can be adapted for your
specific requirements.
To use space efficiently, keep similar items together in trunks, plastic boxes
or a drawer system. Categories should include the following:
- Tools and spares
- Kitchen items and foodstuff
- Photographic equipment
- Separate water and fuel
Look at weight distribution so as not to influence the vehicle’s centre of gravity. Secure the load using ratchet straps or a cargo net. If using an open load area protect the load with a tarpaulin or tonneau cover.
Before you leave
- Advise your security provider
- Service your vehicle dependant on KM.
- Leave spare keys with a neighbour or family member
