ap:  Open = handle parallel with the caravan lengthways

 

Closed = handle at right angles to the caravan.

Floor

Venting

Cone

6.  Disconnect the 12 V electrical connector from the car, and 

lay the cable on the drawbar with the connector pointing 

down to prevent water or snow entering the connector.

7.  Drive the car away.
8.  Adjust the caravan into a horizontal position (lengt-

hways) using the support wheel’s crank.

9.  Wind down all the stabiliser legs. Make sure that the 

caravan is horizontal.

10.  If you have access to a 230 V mains current output, 

connect the cable to the output and the caravan’s input.

11.  Check that the ventilation openings are not blocked 

with dirt, snow, etc.

12.  Set up the drain. The valve must be in the closed posi-

tion unless a closed tank is connected to the outer cone. 

When emptying, connect a closed tank to the outer cone 

and set the valve in the open position. Read more about 

Emptying the drainage system

” on page 55

 

13.  If the caravan has to stand on a road, you should 

light the hazard lights. The switch is located on the 

12 V control panel. 

Exhaust fumes

The car’s exhaust fumes can enter the caravan through the 

ventilation openings. These openings may not be closed. 

Diesel exhaust fumes and soot in particular can be dif-

ficult to clear out of the caravan.

If you have a diesel car, you can try to angle the exhaust 

pipe so that fumes do not enter the caravan.

You can also try installing a plate or a spoiler in front of 

the ventilation openings on the caravan.

When driving

Consider the following when driving:

•  Max. speed 80 km/h.
•  It is prohibited to remain in the caravan when driving.
•  Start,  drive  and  brake  smoothly,  avoiding  jerky 

movements. This safeguards both the caravan and 

the car, and reduces fuel consumption.

•  Keep to the side and reduce your speed when you 

are being overtaken.

•  Keep checking behind you. If a long line of traffic has 

gathered behind you, pull in to the nearest parking 

area and allow the faster traffic to get past.

•  Remember that you are driving a heavy combina-

tion – this means longer braking distances and longer 

acceleration distances. 

•  Pull out properly when you are overtaking somebody else.
•  Be  prepared  for  air-waves  when  you  meet  large 

vehicles - parry in time.

•  Take it easy!

Fresh  air  intakes  and  vents  must  not  be 

blocked under any circumstances.

Pitching

1.  Use the car to position the caravan in the parking 

place.

2.  Apply the parking brake if the caravan is on a slope. 

Remember to check that the support wheel’s crank 

is not in the way of the handbrake  lever,  before 

applying the handbrake. 

3.  Lower the support wheel leg and lock it in position, 

and wind down the support wheel.

4.  First lift up the handle on the ball joint, then move it 

forwards to release the catch locking the ball joint. 

Then raise the ball joint straight up from the towing 

ball by winding down the support wheel.

5.  Disconnect the safety cable.

When you have pitched the caravan, make 

sure that the fresh air intakes are completely 

free of snow and anything else that could 

obstruct circulation.

Never pitch the caravan on a road without 

putting out the warning triangle.

Input, 230 V with tent service
