GETTING STARTED
GETTING STARTED
You have arrived at your destination and now
want to start to enjoy your new Xplore touring
caravan. The following is a step by step guide to
connecting your services and getting everything
in your caravan working.
ELECTRICITY
Power Supply Charger
Your caravan is fitted with a power supply/
charger. This will charge the caravan battery
when fitted and also power the 12V systems in
your caravan.
It is recommended that you always carry a leisure
battery.
The Charger is fully automatic and will not
overcharge the leisure battery.
12v Systems:
Your caravan is fitted with an automatic system
for selection of power.
When connected to the 230V site supply the
automatic Power Supply/Charger will charge the
leisure battery and the 12V systems.
When connected to the car (always disconnect
230V supply), the system automatically switches
to the car supply.
When the ignition is switched on the 12V system
in the caravan is automatically switched off, car
power is supplied to the refrigerator and battery
charging is in operation.
GENERATOR/CHARGER
When connecting to a generator, always switch
off the RCD, start the generator and allow
running for a few minutes to stabilize. When this
has happened, switch the RCD to the ON
position.
ELECTRICITY MAINS SUPPLY
Your caravan’s main electrical installation is
designed to run on 230V at 50 hertz AC supply.
CONNECTING TO MAINS SUPPLY ON
ARRIVAL AT SITE
Before connecting the caravan installation to the
mains supply, check that:
(i) The mains supply is suitable for your
installation and appliances, i.e. whether it is
AC or DC and whether it is at the correct
voltage and frequency.
(ii) Your caravan is properly earthed. Never
accept a supply from a socket outlet or plug
having only two pins, or from a lighting
outlet.
(iii) Any residual current device (earth leakage
circuit breaker) in the mains supply to the
caravan has been tested within the last
month. In case of doubt, consult the site
owner or their agent.
(iv) Make sure that the switch at the site supply
point is off and that all electrical equipment
in the caravan is switched off by ensuring
your caravan mains isolating switch on the
MCB is in the ‘OFF’ position.
ELECTRICAL WARNING
Attention: Always disconnect the electrical
connector between the towing vehicle and
the caravan before connecting a mains
electric supply to the caravan and before
charging the caravan battery by any other
means.
Once the above checks have been made:
(v) Remove any cover to the electricity inlet
provided on the caravan, and insert the
female connector of the flexible orange
supply cable as shown.
(vi) Locate the site supply and remove any cover
from the socket outlet provided at the
supply point. Insert the male plug at the
other end of the flexible orange supply
cable. Switch on the main switch at the site
supply point (if appropriate).
