Charging the Caravan
Mains Power
You caravan will charge from mains power via the Projecta 7 stage charger. Ensure the charger is plugged into its
dedicated outlet in its bay and is switched on. The factory batteries in your XT12 are AGM and the charger must be set
for AGM batteries.
Solar Power
The roof mounted solar panels will charge automatically provided there is enough radiated energy from the sun.
Motor Vehicle

Preparing for Bad Weather
During inclement weather the following should be done:
• Close all roof vents and hatches to prevent water entering.
• Protect the awning from high winds by retracting or securing with guy ropes and pegs.
• Ensure your caravan is not parked in ground that will become boggy and prevent exiting the camp area
• Lower annex corner poles to create a pitch steep enough to allow all water on roof to run freely off the canvas. Do
not allow water to pool.
• Close all external doors and hatches to prevent water ingress and wind damage
