Fastening for the outer tent
Use the specially developed Hobby Vario Clip as
a ridgepole bracket to securely attach an outer
tent to the camper. The clip can be attached
without screws and has been specially adapted
to the contour of the moulding. The moulding is
lined in the relevant places with a pressure and
moisture-resistant plastic honeycomb design.
(cf. diagram in Chapter 14.7)
Your Hobby dealer will be pleased to
answer any questions regarding the
fastening of the outer tent.
The handling of the trailer carriage changes
considerably when the bicycle carrier has been
loaded. You should adjust your speed to take
this into consideration:
• Ensure that you make full use of the permitted
towbar load when the bicycle carrier has been
loaded and correct it accordingly.
• Your critical speed will be dramatically redu-
ced even if you have loaded the bicycle carrier
optimally.
• The driver of the vehicle is responsible for
ensuring that bicycles are fastened securely.
The loading system must be folded up and
secured with the available clips even when it
is not loaded.
• Ensure that existing lighting equipment is not
covered partially or completely by the load.
The maximum permissible load for
the bicycle carrier is 50 kg.
