Solar Panels (if applicable)
If your Unit has been fitted with built in solar panels, they may get dust or dirt on them & require cleaning.
Cleaning your solar panels regularly can improve their performance & longevity of service.
To clean your solar panels, firstly use a garden hose & water to remove the majority of residue which needs removing, a sponge
or soft cleaning cloth can also be used. This alone should remove most dirt from them but if not, a light detergent can be utilised
also.
Please Note: When cleaning the solar panels ensure the seal around their edges is not compromised (if integrated into the
roofline), if water is used with them in this condition damage will occur. If the seal is compromised use a store purchased silicon
to fill in the compromised area.
GENERAL STORAGE
It is highly recommended to store your Unit in a safe & secure location out of direct sunlight & protected from the elements (e.g.
A shed or garage).
Exposure to the elements over a prolonged period during storage will wear the camper prematurely & can fade the paint work &
stickers.
Every endeavour has been made to prevent water leaking into the Units, however the Units are not waterproof. If stored
outdoors uncovered & exposed to the rain, leaking may occur. Damages caused by water ingress are not covered by
Lumberjacks warranty.
Tyre Care During Storage
If leaving your camper for prolonged periods of time it is highly recommended to not have the tyres resting directly on a hard
surface such as concrete as this can cause a flat spot on the tyre from the constant pressure or cause premature aging from
exposure to very cold or very hot conditions as the concrete changes temperatures according to the exterior conditions.
To avoid flat spots & direct exposure to concrete there are purpose made ‘tyre savers’ which can be purchased from most auto
specialist stores. These are U shaped heavy duty objects which the tyre sits in to maintain its round shape.
Camper Covers
While in storage it is highly advised that a cover is used, as the Unit you have purchased is a valuable piece of your property it is
imperative to take correct care of it & store it the right way when not in use.
Can I just use a plastic tarp to cover my Unit?
It is not recommended to use a tarp as a substitute for a purpose made camper trailer or caravan cover as they are not
breathable. This can allow moisture to remain around the camper which can encourage mould & mildew growth as well as
potential leaking into the Unit.
Using a tarp also means you may need ropes or bungees to secure it to your Unit, these themselves can rub against the Unit
with the wind which could also cause various damages.
Storage Tips: Store 1 or 2 moisture absorbing packs/ dehumidifiers in the Unit to assist in drawing away any residual water
vapour.
If keeping your Unit off site in storage remember to conduct regular maintenance!
IMPORTANT: When storing your Unit remember to turn off the isolator switch to reduce the voltage lost from the batteries, over
time they will lose some voltage, this is normal.
While in storage the Unit will still need charging on occasion to recharge the batteries due to this normal small loss of voltage.
Please see the Battery Maintenance section of this manual for more information.
