Warranty
not approved by KK installed on the camper-
trailer/caravan after completion of manufacture
by KK, or any defects or damage caused by such
items;
7. Water taste issues and plumbing system damage
from cleaning agents;
(Note: Poor water taste may come from bad
water going into the water tank and then cleaning
agents being used to ‘clear’ the problem. The
water system includes ‘food grade’ components
yet they still do affect taste very slightly when
water has been lying in them. Some remote water
sources have a high mineral content which may
affect the taste. The polyethylene water tanks
use are inert containers and will not overly affect
the taste of water. Poor water taste and plumbing
damage caused by vinegar, vanilla and other
cleaning agents are not covered).
8. Alloy wheel damage from trapped stones and
other items;
(Note: There is a possibility that sharp stones can
get caught between the alloy wheel and the brake
system or the hub. This is more prevalent on 17in
wheels and larger format exotic wheels. As these
alloys are a special format, our hubs and brakes
may score the wheels and could be dangerous to
your safe driving. We recommend steel wheels
and take no liability for alloy wheels).
9. Damage from loose wheel nuts;
(Note: There is a tendency for these to become
loose, even after they are torqued correctly.
Changes in temperature between day/night and
while driving slowly release pressure on the wheel
nuts and they need constant attention. Continue
to check wheel nuts. Aftermarket wheels are
problematic with accurate location on the hub.
Attention is needed to ensure these are running
correctly at the correct torque.)
10. Battery damage from incorrect charging practices;
(Note: The batteries are very robust but most
common problem occurs when the camper-trailer/
caravan is left without the batteries fully charged
for periods of time OR the tow vehicle does not
provide adequate charging current whilst towing.
A comprehensive battery management system
and a DC booster for charging may be necessary.
Please read the section on charging your batteries
using the vehicle).
Lithium Batteries will be damaged if fully
discharged and left in a discharged state even for
a short period.
11. Degradation of steel and stainless steel fi nish;
(Note: The fi ne red dust that you see in the
outback and other remote locations generally has
iron ore in it. When trapped in the surface of steel
and stainless steel, it will start to corrode and
“rust”. A very thorough clean will generally remove
this “rust”. If left, it will attack the stainless steel
and the surface condition).
12. Dust ingress;
(Note: We can’t advertise our products as dust
proof as a white glove over most surfaces on
opening a camper-trailer/caravan will reveal
dust. We do design and seal so that dust will not
adversely affect your trip. It does require good
maintenance of the pressurization fi lter (where
fi tted) and keeping the seals clean. Sealing strips
seal on clean surfaces to prevent dust coming in
and the surfaces have to be well maintained. The
dust seals are disturbed on severe corrugations
unless the tyre pressures are low and in
accordance with our guide).
13. Toilet damage or defect caused by having
anything deposited into the toilet system other
than human waste;
14. Camper-trailer/caravans not purchased through
an authorised dealer of KK and camper-trailer/
caravans purchased directly or indirectly through
auction, salvage, repossession, or other non-
customary sale means;
15. Any camper-trailer/caravan used other than for
temporary recreation purposes, including, but
not limited to, use of the camper-trailer/caravan
for residential, rental, business and commercial
purpose or any camper-trailer/caravan purchased
by, registered by, or titled in the name of a
business association (such as any Pty Ltd,
corporation, or partnership). If the camper-trailer/
caravan owner or user fi les a tax form claiming
a business or commercial tax benefi t or income
related to the camper-trailer/caravan, it shall be
irrefutable that the camper-trailer/caravan has
been used for rental, commercial or business
purposes.
16. Defects or damage caused by, in whole or in
part, or in any way related to: Accidents, misuse
(including off-road use), or negligence; Failure
to comply with the instructions set forth in any
owner’s manual provided with the camper-
trailer/caravan; Alteration or modifi cation of the
camper-trailer/caravan except such alterations
or modifi cations approved in writing by KK;
Acts of God or other environmental conditions,
such as lightning, hail, salt causing rust, or other
chemicals in the atmosphere; De-icing agents or
other chemicals applied to the camper-trailer/
caravan; Failure to properly maintain or service the
camper-trailer/caravan, including but not limited to
