  • Page 10: Loading

    2.3 Loading Rules for loading: • Spread the load evenly between the left and right-hand side of the camper. Heavy or bulky objects belong in the lower storage compart- ments and near the axle. • If your camper has a tandem axle: distribute the centre of weight between the two axles. • Never focus the load in the camper to the rear (danger of swinging back and forth).
  • Page 11 1. Determine the maximum drawbar load of your base vehicle by checking its documentation, the type plate or the drawbar plate. 2. Your HOBBY camper has a maximum per- missible drawbar load of 100 kg. 3. Adjust the drawbar load on the camper to the lower of the two values by loading it careful- ly.

A draft- free forced-ventilation system is located in the floor and a forced de-aerating system is located in the ceiling which should not be interfered with.
  • Page 38 Special cover plates should be used during winter operation. You can buy these cover plates from your dealer. We recommend that you remove the ventilation bars when outside tem- peratures are very high. This creates a high air circulation on the refrigera tor and increases cooling capacity.
