HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
Toilet unit malfunctions
Contact your dealer or a Thetford Service
Centre.
We advise draining the fresh water tank prior to
travelling. Antifreeze should not be required if
the motor home is heated. If you do wish to use
antifreeze, brands containing the following
properties may be used in the fresh water tank:
• Ethylene glycol
• Mono-Ethylene glycol
• Propane-diol
• Glycerol
• Ethane-diol
• Glycol
Never use alcohol based antifreeze, i.e. Methanol,
Ethanol, and Iso-propanol.
WINDOWS
Your new Xplore touring caravan has been fitted
with Polyplastic double glazed windows.
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.
ROOFLIGHTS
Your caravan is fitted with at least one type of
the following roof lights.
Standard MPK Rooflight
To open:
(i) Lower the flyscreen then press the black
control rod in towards the centre of the
rooflight.
(ii) Then while the rods are depressed, push
upwards to open the rooflight.

Midi Heki Rooflight
(i) To open, push the large central button
(Fig 2).
(ii) Whilst depressed, slide the bar to the
desired position and locate into the stops
provided (Fig 3).
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.
