KITCHEN
●
Once kitchen is set up there are several hoses to connect. “Air line” tap snap on fittings are for water with
gas line located under sink that clips into gas outlet located near kitchen. Make sure all hoses, doors, tap,
etc are secure & clear to avoid damage by closing when still attached / open.
●
Always turn gas off at bottle when travelling. It is good practice to turn off whenever not being used. When
changing gas bottle there may be a longer delay in stove ignition waiting for new gas through line.
WHEELS
Check wheel nut torque often, especially when using off road. Abnormal tyre wear is strong indicator of wheel
alignement issue (service).
SERVICE
It is a requirement of warranty that regular servcing of your camper is carried out. Minimum period is initially
1000km then yearly or every 5,000KM.
General
●
A basic tool kit is a good idea in case of small repairs EG ( flat tyre). Wheel nut spanner, jack, etc.
●
Make a check list of things you might forget when driving off: Hand Brake, Stabilizer legs, Jockey wheel,
secured to car, etc.
Points to note:
●
Store trailer under cover to reduce condensation in toolbox and body compartments - Moisture absorbent
packs are also recommended when in storage at all times. These will help take out moisture and odors when
not in use
●
When travelling off road in dusty conditions, block door drain holes, clean vents daily and wipe away dust
from the door surrounds daily to prevent excessive dust entry. Lower tyre pressure and reduce speed to a
maximum of 80km/hr
●
Consider the terrain you will travel on and the damage that can be caused to a trailer travelling behind your
car. Factory mud flaps are average in most cases so consider investing in products such as “Stone Stomper”
or “Rock Tamers”. There are many products available to compensate for wider tyres, lift kits etc that can
increase stone damage to your new camper.
●
Charge batteries monthly while in storage and prior to going on a trip to ensure top condition.
●
On return from trip always air out camper, a good clean, check over for any loose parts or corrosion from
coating wear. Check all nuts & bolts as possible & check tyre wear for uneven wear ( a sure sign you need
a wheel alignment). Keep up regular inspections, battery maintenance & servicing to ensure many happy
years of use.
