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
