Drivers side – push the canvas downwardsto avoid canvas pinching in bows
FAILURE TO TAKE CARE WITH HOW THE CANVAS IS FOLDED INTO THE TRAILER AT THIS
POINT MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CANVAS.
•
Commence winding the winch.
•
When the camper trailer roof/floor is “about” two thirds closed, walk around the camper and ensure
that all the canvas is pushed inside the body of the camper.
•
Check to ensure that canvas is not being caught around hinge points and that the light switch is
clear.
•
Position the winch strap behind the roller, this changes the direction of the pull of the winch strap on
the hard floor/roof and allows for greater ease in closing the roof/floor onto the trailer body.
•
Continue winding, but do not fully close with the winch. Stop winding when there is a gap of
approximately 25mm to 50mm, and then engage the two rear lock down latches.
Use the rear lock latches to close the camper
•
Commencing from the rear of the trailer, close the latches finishing with the front latches, ensuring
that no canvas is protruding over the seal.
•
Slightly lower the jockey wheel to take pressure off the rear stabiliser legs and then loosen the
tightening screws and raise the legs into the body of the camper, re-tightening securely.
•
As the Cub is fitted with a self-braking winch, the winch strap should be reasonably “tight” so that
the winch handle is not left to swing freely in transit.
•
The Cub is now ready to be attached to the towing vehicle.
