FITTED EQUIPMENT
INTERNAL LAYOUT
General
The Topaz model is designed as a two berth
model (a double or two single beds), with a
single travelling seat in the rear.
Cab Seats
Both the reclining cab seats have full forward
and rearward movement by releasing the
catch on the front of the seat and sliding it to
the required position.
The driver and passenger seats are fitted
with a swivel mechanism which is operated
by a lever at the front of the seat.
Ensure that the seats are locked in the
forward facing position before travelling.
Accommodation Seating
The Topaz features a forward facing seat,
with seatbelt, on the nearside and an inward
facing sofa on the offside. All seats have
access to underseat storage.
Please note that Auto Sleepers advise
against the retrofitting of additional seat belts.
Security
Passengers are reminded that it is a legal
requirement to wear the seat belts provided
whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Table
Two tables are supplied. A large table top
and its straight leg are stored in the overcab
locker. When it is required the leg should be
placed in the floor mounting hole and the
table placed on it.
A small table top and a cranked leg are
stored in clips in the back of the wardrobe in
the bathroom. It is meant for use in
conjunction with the front passenger seat
once it has been rotated to face the rear. The
cranked table leg is fitted into the brackets
adjacent to the side door, the table top is
fitted and the whole assembly rotated to the
required position.
When the tables are not in use, the floor
mounting holes should be fitted with the
appropriate bung.
CAUTION: The table tops and legs must be
stored when the vehicle is in motion.
Kitchen Area
The kitchen area is in the middle of the
vehicle and comprises a Spinflo triplex
combination oven, grill and hob with three
burners on the nearside, and a stainless steel
sink with drainer and a refrigerator on the
offside. The hob and sink, when not in use
are concealed beneath hinged glass lids,
which act as a chopping board and extra
work surface. The sink is fed by a mixer tap
which can be pulled up when the lid is open.
The Dometic tilt-tolerant refrigerator is
located beneath the sink, and to the right is a
tall storage cupboard. The cupboard below
the sink contains a slide out cutlery tray.
On the nearside, there is a large cupboard
below the cooker, and another tall cupboard
to the side.
There are high level lockers on each side of
the kitchen, each housing a pair of wine
glasses..
The kitchen area is illuminated by a large roof
mounted LED light and two LED striplights.
Below the offside overhead locker is located
the electrical control panel with LCD display
which controls all the vehicle’s electrical
services. It incorporates a fresh water level
indicator and master switches for the water
pump and 12 volt circuits. Adjacent to this is
the gauge for the LPG tank, which uses LED
lights to indicate the fuel level.
Shower Compartment
The shower compartment, at the rear of the
vehicle, can be accessed from inside or via
the rear tailgate. It consists of a Thetford
cassette toilet, drop-down hand basin with
mixer tap, vanity unit with mirrors, and full
length shower curtain. The shower
compartment is also fitted with a roof
ventilator, with hinged flyscreen, and a
fluorescent light. A toothbrush holder, towel
rail and showerhead with mixer tap are also
provided. A plastic shower mat prevents
damage to the shower tray when not in use.
The drop-down hand basin may be removed,
by lifting simultaneously upwards and
forwards, for cleaning and retrieval, if
required, of items (soaps etc.) that may have
