Load Distribution When heading away on your next big adventure it is important to load your camper correctly to distribute weight evenly and achieve a suitable ball weight load and prevent loading in a manner that can cause a caravan to sway and/or roll excessively left and right. The optimum ball weight on a caravan is between 8% and 12% of the total camper weight.

Electrical System Batteries The Plenty 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.
When using the inverter, especially with high wattage appliances there will be a temporary drop in the voltage of your batteries, this is due to the high current being drawn by the system. This will increase back to normal once the appliance has been switched off. When not in use, the inverter should be switched off using the button on the control panel.
Water system The Plenty is fitted with 1 x 160 L and 1 x 50 L fresh water poly tanks with stainless steel guard. Both tanks have bungs and taps on the bottom for the tank for easy draining and rinsing. The water tanks are not interconnected, you can change between the tanks by rotating the handle in the rear compartment 180°.
Country Comfort Hot Water System The Plenty camper comes with the Country Comfort portable LPG hot water system as a standard inclusion. This is designed to work with the gas and water fittings on the drawbar of the camper to provide a hot shower for use in the ensuite.

Braking Systems Electric Brakes The Plenty 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.
Trailer Breakaway The Plenty comes fitted with a Breakaway switch. The steel cable attached to the drawbar switch is designed to attach to a solid part of your vehicle. In the event of a trailer disconnection, this will pull out the pin from the switch and activate the trailer brakes. The brakes will stay locked on as long as the pin is removed from the drawbar switch and there is power in the battery system of the Camper.
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.
Gas System The Plenty is fitted with plumbed gas, with the gas bottle holders mounted inside the front stone guard. The gas hoses have the LCC27 connection and requires the matching gas bottle to be able to use the system. The regulator has a one-way valve on top to allow for easy switching of the gas bottles. The valve must be pointing in the direction of the gas bottle being used for the gas to flow through the system.
Camper & Canvas Care Seasoning the canvas The camper trailer canvas 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.

The kitchen is located at the rear passenger side of the camper and can be accessed by opening the access hatch, once the hatch is open you will see 2 spring &...

Now just loosen the nuts to lower the legs to the ground, keep the legs angled at around 45 degrees then tighten the nuts. Once again take hold of the top handle (2) and gently lift the kitchen slide, allowing the legs to move forward, this may take a couple of goes until you get your kitchen nice and level.
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.
