Electrical Safety
The 240v electrical system in your camper has been certified by a trade qualified person. Under no circumstances
should an unqualified person interfere with, modify, or repair this system. An RCD safety device is fitted to this
camper for your safety.
• Always use a 15amp lead to connect to mains power
• Do not modify the earth pin to accommodate a lesser lead
• When connecting to 10amp mains, always use an approved adapter
• Never coil power leads when in use. Lay the lead out in lengths in a safe manner that prevents creating a trip
hazard.
Vehicle Electrical Requirements
Brake Controller
All AusRV campers require an electric brake controller to be fitted to the tow vehicle by law.
There is a wide range of controllers available that are suitable.
Correct Vehicle Wiring for AusRV Campers
To comply with national laws on breakaway systems, you must supply a maintenance charge to the battery/
batteries that power the system should it be activated. In all AusRV products, the breakaway is powered by the
house batteries in the camper. For this purpose and Anderson plug connection is fitted to all AusRV campers on the
drawbar. Your vehicle will need to be fitted with a power supply to a 50 amp Anderson plug near the towbar so the
trailer can be connected. The vehicle only needs to supply power while it is running so a voltage sensitive relay or
switching device may be used to protect the start battery when the car engine is stopped.
