HOW TO USE YOUR MOTORHOME’S EQUIPMENT
High Pressure Gas Hoses
You should only connect to this regulator using a
length of approved high-pressure hose not
exceeding 450mm from the gas cylinder to the
regulator. These approved high-pressure hoses are
available from your Explorer Group Retailer.
These hoses are connected using screw thread
fittings, which will make a seal if connected and
tightened using a spanner. Once the hose is
securely connected turn on the gas tap above the
regulator, then turn on the gas bottle to allow gas
to flow into the motorhome.
In order to make all your motorhome gas
appliances operational it is necessary to open
each appliance gas tap as detailed in previous
column. All your gas appliances should now be
operational. Instructions on how to use each
appliance are detailed later in your handbook..
CAUTION It is strongly recommended that
only Gas Safe Register™ approved gas fitters
carry out any work on your motorhomes gas
installation.
WARNING: Aerosols and highly flammable
liquids must not be stored in the
compartment behind, or adjacent to, any
gas appliance. Some industrial LPG
appliances operate at high pressure and
require a ‘high pressure’ regulator. This
often has an adjusting handle on it. NEVER
use such a regulator on a motorhome.
Ventilation holes must be clear at all times.
ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL
Your new Elddis Autoquest Motorhome is fitted
with a simple electrical control panel.
Each switch is clearly marked to identify what it
operates.
In order for any of the electrics in your
motorhome to operate from the auxiliary battery
you must first ensure that the master switch is
in the ‘I’ position.
The light switch on the control panel operates
all the ceiling mounted LED lights which can then
be operated in each area by separate
independent switches. The reading lights are
independent of the light switch on the main
control panel.
You must place the pump switch to the ‘I’
position in order for the water pump to operate
and to enable water to be run to any of the
water taps.
The awning switch operates the outside awning
light.
The Aux and Veh switch controls from where
the motorhome will draw its power.
The Veh position should only be selected in an
emergency as drawing the power from this
position will drain the vehicle’s main battery and
could lead to being unable to start your
motorhome.
