How do you adjust the entrance door when it has dropped

1 comments:

Mr. Anderson

May 14, 2025

If the entrance door on an Adria caravan has dropped, it may be due to a worn hinge pin mounting. This is common because the metal pin can wear the hole in the plastic into an oval shape. To check, try lifting the door slightly on the catch side—if it then closes properly, the door was likely hitting the support block at the base.

Page 15: Before The Journey
Make sure the friction pads remain free from oil and grease when lubricating moving parts of the safety coupling. Couple the caravan. The tow ball and cup must grip each other and not just lay over each other. The cup must clamp the complete tow ball.
Page 16 Before the journey Check that all corner steadies have been fully raised. Check the caravan lights when the towing vehicle is coupled. 5.2.1 Couplings Warning! Risk of weaving Before coupling, make sure the tow ball on the towing vehicle is free from oil and grease.
Page 17 Press the stabilizer lever down to the lowest position. The marking on the stabilizer lever must be positioned directly below the "locked" marking (Fig. 2/1) of the stabilizer hous- ing. For more information, see the separate instructions from the manufacturer. Adria Caravans...
Page 18 To help, press the coupling grip (Fig. 3/3) down by hand. Check that the safety marking (green band) (Fig. 3/1) is visible. Press the stabilizer lever (Fig. 3/2) down to the lowest position. For more information, see the separate instructions from the manufacturer. Adria Caravans...
Page 19 Always apply the parking brake before uncoupling. Secure the vehicle against rolling away before uncoupling the vehicle. Uncoupling the vehicle: Apply the caravan parking brake. Secure the vehicle against rolling away with wheel chocks. Disconnect the light/power supply plug from the towing vehicle socket and secure safely.
Page 20: Loading The Vehicle
• Store heavy objects (e.g. tinned food, cutlery, dishes) in low-lying storage compartments and secure them against slipping. • Stack light objects, e.g. clothes, in higher storage compartments or in the compartments below the seats. Adria Caravans...

Page 134: Winter Camping
Winter camping is becoming more and more popular. Depending on the model and equipment, your ADRIA vehicle is conditionally suitable for use in winter. If you pay attention to the follow- ing information, your winter holiday in your own vehicle will become proper winter fun.
Page 135: Winter Operation
Open windows and roof hoods when cooking. If possible, do not use electrical appliances with high current consumption. The current capacity at camping sites is limited. Make sure the drain pipe of the waste water does not freeze up (Chapter 12.2). Adria Caravans...

Page 137: Placing Out Of Service
Carefully wash the vehicle and apply a paint protection product (wax). Repair paintwork damage. Your ADRIA dealer will be pleased to advise you with respect to suitable products. Move the vehicle every four weeks in order to avoid "flat spots" and damage to the wheel bearings.
Page 138 (Chapter 12.2) and allowed to dry. We recommend using a disinfectant for the water tank. Ask your ADRIA dealer for advice. Appliances Empty and clean the refrigerator; leave the refrigerator door and the freezer compartment, if applicable, open.

Page 141: Cleaning & Care
Wash the vehicle with plenty of cold to lukewarm water and cleaning agent. Then dry thoroughly. You can purchase suitable cleaning agents and additives from your ADRIA dealer. Bird droppings, tree gum, berries, road salt, sea salt, etc. must always be removed immediately.
Page 142 For stubborn soiling, we recommend a special cleaning agent for acrylic glass which is available from your ADRIA dealer. Do not use scouring agents. They would scratch the plastic surfaces. After cleaning the vehicle, rinse all acrylic glass windows with clean water.
Page 143 Exposure to sunlight can cause the plastic parts to yellow. This is not a quality defect. Important! • Use only commercially available, mild cleaning agent to clean the vehicle. Ask your ADRIA dealer for advice. • Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agent. •...
Page 144 Do not use scouring agents. These scratch the surfaces. Allow the gas stove to cool before cleaning. Clean the gas stove only with a moist cloth. Clean the glass cover (special equipment) of the cooker with a glass cleaning agent. Adria Caravans...

Page 146 Do not use vinegar essence for decalcifying the toilet and the water system. Use only commercially available mild decalcifying products that do not affect the plastic material. – Ask your ADRIA dealer for advice. Clean the bathroom and the toilet only with warm water, a soft cloth or sponge and mild, standard cleaning agent.
Page 147: Inspection & Maintenance
Inspection & Maintenance 20.1 Inspection work Important! As with any vehicle, the caravan must be officially inspected at regular intervals (Chapter 2.4). Important! Use only original spare parts from the respective manufacturer. Inspection and maintenance work (Chapters 20.3 and 20.4) must be performed at reg- ular intervals.

Page 150: Troubleshooting
Please pay attention to the following information for finding and correcting faults. If you cannot remedy the faults yourself, contact the service of your competent ADRIA dealer or of the respective appliance manufacturer (heater = Truma, toilet = Thetford, etc.).
Page 151 Do not lie underneath the jacked up vehicle. Do not use the corner steadies for lifting the vehicle. We recommend a caravan jack available as an accessory for changing wheels. The ratchet wrench to loosen and tighten wheel bolts is located in the coupling bracket box.
Page 152 Ensure the bolts are not interchanged. Secure the vehicle (Chapter 21.1.1). Uncouple the caravan and apply the handbrake. Place the wheel chocks before and behind the opposite wheel. Position the jockey wheel at 90° to the driving direction and secure with cho cks behind and in front of the wheel.
Page 153 Check the firm seating of all wheel nuts or wheel bolts again. Use a torque wrench for light-metal rims without steel bushings. – 100 Nm for steel rims – 120 Nm for light-metal rims After driving approx. 50 km, check the seating of the wheel nuts or wheel bolts. Adria Caravans...
