HOLIDAY 240 DUO, 240S & 240SE TRAILER TENT
We highly recommend that your trailer tent is insured against
theft and storm or accidental damage.
Storm or accidental
damage is not covered under the warranty.
Before going away with your trailer tent, ensure that you are
familiar with the pitching of the trailer tent and that all parts
are present. You should familiarise yourself with the trailer
tent including any limitations it may have for your particular
use. A trailer tent is a portable structure, which, under most
circumstances, will provide comfortable shelter against the
elements. There are however extremes of weather for which
allowance should be made. DON’T BLAME THE TRAILER TENT.
Position:Sheltered Lowland/Valley
Weather:Fair/Moderate
Before a cotton trailer tent is used for the first time, it is
important that the tent is weathered. Pitch the trailer tent
when rain is expected, or alternatively when you have access
to a garden hose with a spray setting, and allow to get
thoroughly wet and then fully dry out. When the cotton of the
tent becomes wet for the first time the weave of the cotton will
close when allowed to dry under tension. There is no
predetermined time for weathering so do not be surprised if
there is a small amount of leakage through the canvas and
seams the first few times it rains.
The outer and inner trailer tent is made of cotton. Cotton is a
natural fibre and may contain some imperfections.
These
should not be mistaken for faults and will not affect the
performance of your trailer tent.
Before pitching your trailer tent it is essential that you read
the following:
Try to choose a site that is relatively flat. Avoid sites where
the land may flood or that water will run down. DO NOT camp
directly under trees but a hedge or wall may provide shelter
against wind. AVOID areas with heavy pollution and where crop
spraying may be in progress.
1. On the chosen site it will be necessary to make the trailer
as level as possible and to take the weight of the trailer off
the wheels to provide a stable cabin.
2. Using the jockey wheel adjust the height of the trailer so
that the front end is about 5 cm lower than level. Drop the
rear legs of the trailer onto the supplied jack pads and
tighten locking screws.
3. Using the jockey wheel, raise the front of the trailer until
the unit is level. Drop front legs of the trailer onto jack
pads and tighten. Lower jockey wheel slightly to allow the
trailers weight to be borne by the legs.
4. Unclip and remove the cover.
5. Disconnect 7 pin plug under the trailer. Release kitchen
legs until they are close to but not touching the ground.
Release side catches and lift off kitchen unit (this will
require at least two persons). Loosen the locking screws for
the kitchen support bars and push support bars back into
trailer body. Adjust the kitchen legs to a suitable height
and ensure that the locking screws are secure.
If not
required the kitchen can be stored under a trailer bed
board.
