Setting up your Camper

Choosing a Spot to Set Up

When choosing a spot to set up your camper, start with a flat area with no overhanging trees. Birds and bats
occupying trees can defecate leaving droppings on your camper that can damage paint and canvas and leaves and
sap can also taint the canvas. 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
camper 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 camper in shade and the inside cooler as it will be protected
by the tropical roof and shaded by the awning.

Levelling Your Camper

The stabiliser legs on your camper/caravan are not designed for supporting the full weight of the trailer, they are there
to stabilise it once it is level. Using your stabilisers as a lifting mechanism will void your warranty as will extending
them with a "rattle gun" or "impact wrench". Levelling front to back can be done by raising and lowering the jockey
wheel prior to adjusting the stabiliser legs. Getting the trailer level from left to right should be done with drive on
stepped ramps as illustrated below. Once levelled the legs can be lowered to keep the trailer stable. On soft ground
you may want to use timber sole boards under the stabiliser feet.

Site Power

The Projecta charger in your camper requires a 10amp power source and can be connected via an extension lead to
any 240v domestic power point. 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. If the site power is not RCD protected it is
recommended to use a portable RCD device.
