SETTING UP
GENERAL
Try to choose a site where your XT17 can be situated so that the ground is even. This allows for
correct adjustment of the van and Batwing annex.
If adjustment is necessary across the width of the van, drive the downhill wheel up onto a chock prior
to detaching the camper from the vehicle, this will make sleeping more comfortable. It is advisable to
use a small spirit level to ensure the van is level. After removing the van from the vehicle, wind the
jockey wheel handle up or down to level out the van. Once the van has been levelled, lower down the
front and rear stabiliser legs and adjust to support the van.
FRONT DOOR
To separate the door to utilize the security screen, please latch the door to caravan. Hold the inside
handle, lift up and at the same time pull the two doors apart.
There is a gas safety vent located at the bottom of the caravan door, which has a dust cover fitted as
standard. Upon entry to the caravan it is an absolute must that you remove the dust cover before
using any internal gas operated components. Please stow the dust cover away in a safe spot.
SETTING UP THE EXTERNAL KITCHEN
Unlock the kitchen door and open by pushing the latch button to release the locking mechanism.
Release the kitchen retaining spring bolt and pull out kitchen until it is stopped by the slide stops.
Open the glass cook top when ready to use (an external ignition source is needed to light the gas
burners). Attach the gas hose to the quick bayonet fitting which is located under the kitchen attached
to the body of the caravan. After that connect the stainless steel braided gas hose to your 9kg gas
cylinder found at the front of the caravan. To turn the gas on at the bottle, turn handle ¼ - ½ turn.
This allows for quick shut off in an emergency, yet still supplies adequate gas pressure.
Depending on your set up you may run a food waste hose from the kitchen sink or place a container
under the sink.
HOT WATER SYSTEM
NOTE: Before using any internal gas operated components, it is an absolute must that the
dust cover be removed from the gas safety vent located at the bottom of the caravan door.
To ignite the heater, turn on the gas at the gas bottle on the front of the van, ¼ to ½ a turn is enough.
Remove the outside air vent panel, go inside and press the ignition switch on the hot water heater
panel to the desired temperature (up for 60 degrees or down for 70 degrees). This can be located at
the foot of the bed. If the red light comes on the ignition switch, switch to off and confirm that you
have turned on the gas at the gas bottle on the front of the caravan and opened the outside air vent
panel. Occasionally an airlock in the gas line may occur after a gas bottle is replaced and may take
some time to clear. If this occurs, try lighting the kitchen stove as this tends to help bleed the air out
of the system (continue to try to ignite the heater). The system can be left on and will continue to
keep the water hot however it is advisable to switch off the heater and gas at the bottle before going
to bed, or when leaving the caravan unattended. The gas and hot water system
MUST
be turned off
and air vent
MUST
be secured before travelling.
