Page 24: Rated Shackles
Safety Chains and Shackles Rated Shackles Always use load rated shackles applicable to the weight of your trailer. Attaching Chains When attaching chains, you must always cross them and attach each chain to the diagonally opposite side of the towbar. Ensure chains are not too long and where necessary attach to links further back from the end. Periodically check the chains for visual wear or damage. -
Page 25: Hitch
Hitch Connecting the Hitch Here is a short guide on how to safely use your coupling to couple and uncouple the trailer from the towing vehicle. Make sure the handbrake is applied prior to coupling and uncoupling. www.marketdirect.com.au Ph: 1300 494 494... - Page 26 Make sure the dust cap is securely connected to the bump cover. This is done by locating the rear lip on the dust cap onto the groove of the bump cover and then pushing it in a downward motion until the dust cover is secure (there should be a slight click when it has been assembled correctly) Test if the dust cover is connected to the bump cover by applying a slight upward force to the dust cover, it shouldn’t separate.
-
Page 27: Coupling

Page 30: Load Distribution Guide
Load Distribution Guide The diagram below illustrates best placements of items based on weight. Ball Weight When loading your camper, the ideal ball weight once loaded is 10% of the total weight of the camper. Use a ball weight scale to identify the ball weight and load the camper in a manner that achieves the desired 10%. Ideally, once loaded the first time, take the camper to a weigh bridge, and measure the total weight loaded including the weight on the jockey wheel. -
Page 31: Canvas Care
This is not a reflection of canvas or workmanship but simply a characteristic of canvas tents. If the leak persists, contact your AusRV customer representative. -
Page 32: Care Of Paint And Surfaces
Care of Paint and Surfaces Paintwork The paint coatings on your camper are no different to that of your car in that they need regular care and maintenance.

Page 34: Preparing For Bad Weather
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 in 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 35: Packing Away Your Camper
Packing Away Your Camper It’s vitally important when packing your camper up after use that you be mindful of the following: • Always retract the adjustable foot of your entry stairs completely before closing the camper. Failure to retract the steps and close firmly against the door can cause the internal poles to make contact resulting in damaged poles and canvas. -

Page 37: Storage & Care
Storage & Care Long Term Storage To maximise the life of your camper you should consider additional protection from the elements. UV light and moisture can have an adverse effect on materials when left unprotected outside. This section outlines some of the things you can do as an owner to protect your investment. -
Page 38: Securing Your Camper
Securing Your Camper When parked and unhitched you should always use suitable wheel chocks to ensure the trailer can’t move in the event of a handbrake failure. For security, a wheel clamp or and hitch lock are highly recommended. www.marketdirect.com.au Ph: 1300 494 494... -
Page 39: 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, 500km and 1000km and periodically thereafter. -
Page 40: Hand Brake
Hand Brake Parking brakes are mechanically operated by cable means. The cable attachment occurs outside of the brake backing plate. Cable force applied to the parking lever creates a torque through the pivot pin and cam assembly. Torque transferred to the parking cam results in a spreading force between the primary and secondary shoes. The shoes in turn, move towards the drum until contact is made. -
Page 41: Correct Use Of Your Electric Brakes
* If at all in doubt please refer all repairs and maintenance to a suitably qualified or experienced mechanical repairer. * AusRV Campers accepts no liability for personal injury, loss or damage resulting from incorrect applications, methods, and failure to perform maintenance safely and correctly. -
Page 42: Magnets

• Wheel Bearings • Seals • Wheel studs and nuts These are available from AusRV Campers Wildlife Australian outback roads are notorious for wandering stock and native wildlife which can be a serious danger to motorists. Due care must always be taken, and the possibility of an animal strike considered in regard to speed and time of day you are driving. -
Page 55: Trip Planning
Creek and River Crossings These crossings can be extremely dangerous even in low water levels and should never be attempted in times of even mild flooding. Towing a camper greatly elevates the risk in this situation and should never be attempted unless you are completely assured it is safe to do so. -
