Wheels and Tyres
Highway
Your caravan is fitted with 16” wheels and 265/75 R16 Goodride Tyres. The tyres are a “Light Truck” type with a mud
terrain tread and a maximum load rating on single axle of 1550kg at 80psi.
Recommended highway pressure at tare weight of the caravan is 50-56psi
Recommended highway pressure at ATM of 3000kg is 74-77psi
Off Road
Off road driving requires lower tyre pressures and lower speeds. When driving on rough and corrugated road, a
reduction of speed and controlled deflation of tyres is required to protect the caravan and its suspension from damage.
In extreme circumstances tyre pressures may be reduced significantly. When lowering from highway pressure, a rule
of thumb is to reduce your speed by the same percentage as the lowering of tyre pressure.
Because off road conditions can vary greatly, you must lower your pressures and reduce speed until vibration and
shock through the suspension is at a moderate level to suit the conditions you are experiencing, and the loaded weight
of your caravan.
WARNING: When returning to the highway or when increasing speed, you must reinflate the tyres to correct highway
pressures. Failure to reinflate can cause severe handling problems resulting in injury or death.
Jacking Your Caravan
Your MDC caravan has factory jacking points behind the axles on each side of the caravan and also a bottle jack
locating ring on each of the trailing arms on the suspension.
The jacking point behind the wheels is suitable for both bottle jack and
hi-lift jack operation.
When using a hi-lift jack care must be taken to
secure the caravan from rolling or slipping. Never place any part of
your body beneath the caravan when suspended by any kind of jack.
Ensure the body of the caravan is protected from damage by the jack.
The jacking point on the trailing arm is designed for the head of
a bottle jack to fit securely inside the metal ring. When using
this point ensure the jack is on a solid base and the caravan
cannot move.
