HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT

WINDOWS

Your caravan will be fitted with either
Polyplastic; Seitz framed windows, or a
mixture of both.

Polyplastic Window Opening

(i) In order to open the Polyplastic window it

is only necessary to move the catch
upwards and release the catch from the
backing plate.

(ii) The Polyplastic window should remain in

the open position once opened, however
if it does not then tighten the friction
control on the window stays to increase
the holding force.

(iii) The Polyplastic window is also fitted with

a night ventilation position where the
catch is set to the centre position on the
backing plate; in this position it may be
possible for rain to enter the caravan in
adverse conditions.

BLINDS & FLYSCREENS

Blinds

(i) Pull blind down by its centre catch. Do

not pull down by one side of the blind.
This will inevitably lead to problems.

(ii) Do not allow blinds to spring back freely.

Always control them by hand.

Flyscreens

(i) To operate the flyscreen, either pull the

screen fully down, fully up or across,
dependant on type of window fitted, and
clip into place on the blind/frame.

(ii) To release, unclip from the blind/frame. If

a cross bar is fitted, gently pull the
crossbar downwards towards you and
allow the tension of the spring to roll up
the flyscreen.

(iii) Where a crossbar is not fitted, disconnect

from the blind catch and release gently.

(iv) It is recommended that blinds are not in

the closed position whilst the caravan is
moving.
