PREPARING FOR THE ROAD
designed to carry passengers in
designated passenger seats only. The
fitting of a 3-point seat belt can identify
these seats. Any seat not fitted with a
3point seat belt is not designated as a
passenger seat.
(xvi) You are strongly recommended not to
carry passengers unless they are
seated in a designated passenger
seat.
(xvii) Ensure all tables have been stored in
their designated table storage position.
(xviii) Ensure you remove all items from the
microwave (if fitted) before towing.
(xix) Check all the road lights are
operational.
Pulling Off
• Pull away smoothly.
• Avoid wear and tear on clutch and
transmission by taking extra care.
• Change gears smoothly.
• Try not to jerk the clutch.
Bicycle Racks
Fitting a bicycle rack to the rear panel of a
motorhome will affect how weight is
distributed. There are restraints to be aware
of with such fitments.
The maximum loading allowed on the back
panel is 75 kgs including the weight of the
bike rack and bicycles.
The motorhome must also be balanced to
take into account the new weight distribution.
Weight must be distributed evenly.
Elddis cannot be held responsible for
problems related to a bicycle rack fitted by a
third party. A copy of the rear panel drawing
must be obtained by the retailer or service
centre from Elddis to ensure correct fixing
points are located.
Tow Bars
Your new Elddis motorhome has been
designed to accept a Witter tow bar. This
has been approved via type approval to
ensure it is safe to use and is the only tow
bar approved for fitting to Elddis
motorhomes. The maximum load allowed on
the tow ball is 100kgs and the maximum
overhang is specified by the tow bar when
fitted. The fitting points for the tow bar are
designated by the fixing hole in the Witter
extensions fitted to the Peugeot chassis and
full details are available upon request from
Elddis.
