THERMAL InSULATIon
AnD HEATInG
Your vehicle has been designed to achieve a
thermal insulation and heating level for specific
climatic conditions when tested according to
the procedure in EN1646-1. The classifications
are as follows:
GRADE 1
A vehicle with an average thermal
transmittance (u) that does not exceed
1.7w/(m
2
k).
GRADE 2
A vehicle with an average thermal
transmittance (u) that does not exceed
1.7w/(m
2
k) and which can achieve an average
temperature difference of at least 20k between
inside and outside temperatures when the
outside temperature is 0°C.
GRADE 3
A vehicle with an average thermal
transmittance (u) that does not exceed 1.2w/
(m
2
k) and which can achieve an average
temperature difference of at least 35k between
inside and outside temperatures when the
outside temperature is -15°C.
THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
General Information
It is strongly advised that the mains installation
is inspected periodically to ensure safe
use. The IET (BS7671) wiring regulations
recommend that mains installations in
motorhomes are re-inspected every 3 years
or annually if the van is used frequently. The
National Caravan Council lists the qualifications
necessary to perform this inspection, but an
NICEIC approved contractor is probably the
first choice.
On arrival at the campsite
• Check the suitability of the supply,
is it AC or DC, is the voltage and
frequency correct.
• Ensure that there is a proper earth
(3 pin socket outlet).
• If in doubt consult site staff.
• Make sure that the supply from the site is
switched off.
• Make sure that the charger switch on the
PSU is switched off.
• Lift the cover on the electricity inlet on the
motorhome, and insert the connector on
the flexible supply cable.
• At the site supply point, connect the other
end of the supply cable to this using the
socket provided.
• Switch on the main switch at the site
supply point.
CARE POINT: It is good practice to test the
RCD (Residual Current Device) in the PSU
before switching on. There is a test button on
the RCD to test the lever, put the lever in the
up position (on) before testing.
CARE POINT: As with the RCD it is good
practice to check the Miniture Circuit Breaker
(MCB) in the PSU. Switch all to the on position
(lever up). If any do not stay up then there is
a fault.
On departure from the campsite
• Switch off supply from the site, disconnect
the cable at both ends.
• Switch off RCD.
Note: never use a mains supply lead whilst
coiled. Always uncoil the full length before
connecting to the supply and remember to
protect the cable from traffic.
WARNING: current consumption in the
motorhome must not exceed 16 amps or
the pitch permitted maximum if this is less
than 16 amps.
