LEVELLING YOUR CARAVAN
Levelling front to back can be done by
raising and lowering the jockey wheel prior
to adjusting the stabiliser legs.
The stabiliser legs on your caravan are not
designed for supporting the full weight of
the trailer, they are there to stabilise it once
it is level.
Getting the trailer level from left to right
should be done with drive on stepped
ramps as illustrated here.
Once levelled the legs can be lowered to
keep the trailer stable. On soft ground you
may want to use timber boards under the
stabiliser feet.
Using your stabilisers as a lifting
mechanism will void your warranty as will
extending them with a “rattle gun”
or “impact wrench”.
SITE POWER
The onboard charger in your
caravan is connected via the 15A
exterior socket. To use site power,
you will require a 15A power lead
connected to a 15A outlet, as
shown. In the event a 15A outlet
is unavailable you will need a
conversion box that will step up
from 10A to 15A with a safety switch.
Never leave power leads coiled
when in use, lay the lead out back
and forward in a manner that won’t
be a trip hazard or risk damage to
the lead.
CHOOSING A SPOT TO SET UP
When you arrive at your camp for the night it is important to choose a good spot to camp. One that will allow you
to rest easy. When choosing a spot to set up your caravan, start with a flat area with no overhanging trees. Birds
and bats occupying trees can leave droppings on your caravan that can damage paint, and leaves and sap can
also stain the coating.
Ensure you are not camping in an area prone to flooding or with bad drainage in the event of rain.
Even the slightest hollow in the ground can put you in a mini lake. In hot weather if possible, set your caravan up
so the sun’s arc goes from front to back or back to front with the annex/awning in the general direction the sun
is arcing across. Doing this will keep the bulk of the caravan in shade and the inside cooler as it will be shaded
by the awning.
