CYCLE RACK
17.1.1
In order that a cycle rack can be fitted, the rear of Sherbourne’s coachwork has
been strengthened accordingly. A 700mm x 12mm thick timber is bonded into the
bodywork immediately above the rear light units, laterally across the vehicle. This
allows the lower mounting brackets for the Fiamma 200CL/UL cycle rack to be
fitted in a suitably reinforced area. In the event of a cycle rack being fitted, the
cycle rack when folded will increase the vehicle length by 400mm. Your supplying
Auto-Sleeper dealer has factory drawings showing the exact location of the
timber reinforcement.
18
AWNING
18.1.1
A three metre Fiamma F45 awning is recommended. The awning should be
attached to the nearside lower section of the roof. Awning wedges are required,
and the awning wedge brackets should be bolted through to the interior of the
vehicle. On the inner face of the Styrofoam wall, reinforcing plates should be
fitted through which the supporting bolts should pass with spacer tubes in the wall
cavity. These awning plates may then be concealed with the ABS covers found
in the awning kit. Your Auto-Sleeper dealer will give further advice or assistance if
required.

TOWBARS
19.1
If a tow bar is fitted, it should be of a type, approved by the base vehicle
manufacturer, and must be fitted directly to the base vehicle chassis. Auto-
Sleeper chassis extensions should never be used to support the towbar.

GAS COMPARTMENT
20.1
The gas compartment is situated at the rear offside of the Sherbourne. it is
designed to hold two 7kg bottles which must, for travelling, be secured in their
clips. For winter use, Propane is recommended through having a lower freezing
point.
21
EXTERNAL STORAGE LOCKER
21.1
On the offside centre is an external storage locker which gives access from
outside into the offside settee underside. Ensure that when closed, the access
door is secured by both locks being applied. Regular lubricating of these locks is
recommended, to prevent seizing.
