    STITCH HOLES Ezytrail ensure your tent is made using the finest water repellent fabric. However, canvas products are not permanent structures and in extreme conditions some water may penetrate. Seepage may occur in the seams through the needle holes created in the sewing process.

    SETTING UP YOUR CAMPER LOADING YOUR CAMPER It is important to load your camper correctly and distribute weight evenly to achieve a suitable ball load balance.

  • Page 28: Preparing For Bad Weather

    SETTING UP YOUR CAMPER PREPARING FOR BAD WEATHER Modern camper tents are designed with a roof height to accommodate taller people. The trade off with this kind of design is the pitch of the roof is not always steep enough for water to run off effectively during heavy rain. To better prepare for wet conditions it is advisable in most cases to increase the pitch of the awning/annex roof by lowering the corners furthest away from the main tent.

  • Page 30: Torque Settings

    TORQUE SETTINGS WHEEL NUTS Wheel nuts should be tightened to correct torque using a torque wrench. Never trust a “rattle gun” as these may over or under tighten. A quality torque wrench will ensure nuts are tightened correctly. It’s important to remember to check your wheel nuts at 50km, 100km, and 500km and periodically thereafter.

Your camper is fitted with this system with the switch mounted on the drawbar with a steel wire lanyard to connect to your tow vehicle.
