Preparing For The Road
Loading Your Vehicle
All models manufactured by Auto-Trail are of
a well balanced design, the most common
causes of poor stability include:
• Poor weight distribution of the weight inside
the vehicle.
• Incorrect tyre pressure (always adhere to
the tyre pressures stated in the chassis
manufacturers handbook. Always inflate
to the ‘fully laden’ condition).
Try to load heavy items down near the floor of
the vehicle, between the axles and as evenly
as possible side to side.
We would recommend that the table is stored
on the floor between the beds if there is no
dedicated storage position.
Where a dedicated storage position is available,
the table should be retained in this position
whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Please be aware that in certain
conditions the fibreglass roof may
become very slippery, please take
extreme care should you choose
to walk on the vehicle roof.
Bicycle Carrier (If Fitted)
Auto-Trail recommends that if a bicycle carrier
is fitted to your vehicle it should be capable of
carrying no more than two cycles.
Never exceed the maximum authorised weight
that should be specified on the carrier.
Tow Bars
Various suppliers manufacture tow bars that
can be fitted to your Auto-Trail vehicle.
Please check with your tow bar supplier that
the tow ball fitted to your vehicle fits your
requirements exactly and does not
contravene any road traffic regulations.
