INTRODUCTION
WELCOME AND
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on choosing an Elddis Touring
Caravan.
This Owner’s Handbook has been prepared for
your guidance to help you derive the greatest
amount of pleasure from the use of your caravan
and your leisure time. We strongly recommend
that you read this guide thoroughly so that you
are fully aware of all the caravan’s features,
equipment and systems.
Additional information and detailed appliance
instruction manuals are also contained in your
Owner’s Information Pack.
Your new Elddis caravan has been designed as a
recreational vehicle and is intended for
recreational use only. It is not intended for
business use or for permanent habitation. Elddis
accepts no liability if the caravan is used for any
purpose other than recreational/holiday use.
Your caravan has been designed for towing
behind a normal motor car. Additional care
should be exercised when towing with a 4x4
because of the ‘off-road’ nature of the suspension.
Owners should not tow their touring caravans
with commercial vehicles (including light and
heavy goods vehicles). When selecting a towing
vehicle it is recommended that you consult the
Caravan Towing Code, which is also included in
your Owner’s Information Pack.
By following the instructions provided in this
handbook and maintaining your caravan in a first
class roadworthy condition, you are sure to have
many years of carefree use.
To ensure the very best quality and reliability all
touring caravan designs and new developments
are rigorously tested. Therefore Elddis will accept
no liability or uphold the warranty if the caravan
is altered or modified in such a way that would
adversely affect the reliability.
Please Note: It is a condition of your warranty
that the caravan must have an “annual service”
done by an Approved Retailer or Service Centre,
and a record is kept. Pages are provided in the
back of this guide, for your assistance.
Approved Retailers or Service Centres will be
able to supply any replacement parts for your
caravan, should the need arise, and in most cases
any accessories you may require.
Please note: It is not possible to purchase
replacement parts direct from Elddis.
Changing market and supply situations may
prevent us from maintaining the exact
specification details in this guide and we therefore
reserve the right to alter specifications as
materials and conditions demand.
Enjoy your new caravan
