When installing the Weekender into a vehicle for the first time, ensure that the electrical
connections to the vehicle's battery are secure and the appropriate wiring is used.
The Weekender is supplied with a pre-made cable for use with a 12-volt supply.
This cable is terminated with a high-quality plug for connection into your vehicle.
2. Use a suitable cable to connect the
socket to the vehicle's battery.

A cable thickness of 4mm or greater
is recommended.
Fitting an in-line fuse.
Although the Weekender has a built-in fuse, it is
recommended to install an additional fuse on the
positive wire as close to the battery as possible.
(This will protect against short-circuits that may
occur along the length of the cable).
Ensure that all connections are properly
crimped and insulated.
An automotive fuse with a rating
of 15A is recommended.

When installing electrical outlets in your vehicle, do not rely
on the vehicle's body for an electrical earth.
If you choose to change the attached plug on the DC cable for a different type, first ensure
that the cable is unplugged before cutting it.
Split and strip the wires as required for the new plug. Take care to ensure that the correct
polarity is used on the plug and crimp the connections where possible.
If the "Reverse Polarity" indicator on the Weekender control panel illuminates, reverse the
wiring in the plug to correct the problem.
1. Install the supplied
socket into your vehicle
in a convenient location.
