INTRODUCTION
WELCOME AND
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on choosing an Xplore
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 which can be found
within the kit box supplied with your caravan.
Your new Xplore caravan has been
designed as a recreational vehicle and is
intended for recreational use only. It is not
intended for business, hire use or for
permanent habitation. Xplore accepts no
liability if the caravan is used for any
purpose other than recreational/holiday
use. Any use other than recreational/
holiday use will invalidate your warranty.
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.
When selecting a towing vehicle it is
recommended that you consult the Caravan
Towing Code, which is available from the
NCC.
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
Xplore 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” carried out by an Xplore approved
Retailer / Service Centre or NCC Approved
workshop or NCC equivalent standard as set
out in this handbook and a record is kept.
Pages are provided in the back of this guide,
for your assistance.
An Xplore Approved Retailer / Service Centre
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 Xplore.
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
