Main Circuit Breaker
The main 12v circuit breaker is located beneath the dinette seat beside the Projecta battery charger. This 200A breaker
is a resettable type.
Mains Power
The Projecta charger in your caravan is connected via the
15A exterior socket. To use site power, you will require a
15A power lead connected to a 15A outlet. In the event
a 15A outlet is unavailable you will need a conversion box
that will step up from 10A to 15A with a safety switch.
Never leave power leads coiled when in use, lay the lead
out back and forward in a manner that won’t be a trip
hazard or risk damage to the lead.
RCD Safety Switch
The mains power safety switch is located just above the
entry door on the overhead cupboard. In the event of
a short this switch will cut power to the caravan 240v
outlets.
Towing with Trucks
If you intend to tow your caravan with a truck or heavy commercial vehicle you should
fit a hitch system to minimise the lash effect of the commercial suspension and distance
from the rear axle to the tow point. Truck suspension can be harsh, particularly in off road
conditions. The long distance between the axle centre and the point of attachment can
be quite long further exacerbating the effect putting stress on components.
Using a shock absorbing hitch will reduce the effect considerably.
