There may be times where your Vandoit goes through a period of non-use. Whether it be bringing it out of storage, non-use due to the busyness of life, etc., we want to make sure your Vandoit and all components are working correctly. Our customer support team put this Vandoit Operational Checklist to simplify the process of running through you van’s components.
Vandoit Operational Checklist
