Page 11: Electrical System
Electrical System Batteries The Simpson Camper trailer is fitted with 2 x 120 Ah AGM batteries. These batteries are designed to be maintained at voltages between 12.0 V and 14.4 V. Should the batteries become discharged below 12.0 V, they will begin to degrade. The longer they are left discharged or the more times they are discharged below this point, the less likely they will be to hold charge. -

Page 19: Braking Systems
Braking Systems Electric Brakes The Simpson comes fitted with electric brakes which require a brake controller installed into the towing vehicle that can be controlled from the driver’s seat. There are many systems available which can either be permanently installed into the tow vehicle or Bluetooth units that are mounted to the trailer and have a remote to control from the driver’s position. -
Page 20: Handbrake
Handbrake The handbrake is operated mechanically by means of a cable. The cable attaches to the backing plate and when the handbrake is applied the cable creates a force on the primary and secondary brake shoe. This causes them to spread until they make contact with the brake drum surface. The cable adjuster needs to provide enough tension that the handbrake is 1/3 raised when the camper is unloaded. -
Page 21: Setting Up Campsite
Setting up campsite Picking a spot that is relatively level, gets sun during the day and is not under any large tree’s, especially Gum trees, is important. If you are free camping, do not set up too close to a river or in an area that is prone to flash flooding. -
Page 22: Gas System
Gas System The Simpson is fitted with plumbed gas, with the gas bottle holder mounted inside the front stone guard. The gas hose has the LCC27 connection and requires the matching gas bottle to be able to use the system. Once the gas bottle is connected, you can connect the external 2 burner stove top to the side mounted bayonet fitting using the attached hose. -
Page 23: Camper & Canvas Care
Camper & Canvas Care Seasoning the canvas The camper trailer tent is pre-seasoned; however, this is before the camper has been assembled and sewn together. This means that before you take the camper out for the first time, it will need to be seasoned to avoid any leaks. -
Page 24: External Kitchen
External Kitchen Your Simpson is equipped with a quality stainless steel kitchen complete with a Dometic 2 burner cook top and sink. The kitchen is located at the side passenger side of the camper and can be accessed by opening the access hatch, once the hatch is open you will see blue handles, push both of these down and gently slide the kitchen out. -
Page 25: Condensation / Mould
Condensation / mould Condensation is a normal part of living in Australia, and this is highlighted when camping. The temperature difference inside and outside a camper can be quite significant, and with the moisture in the Australian air and the smaller living area of a camper, condensation can build up overnight. While this can be quite disconcerting, it is totally normal. -
