  • Page 16 Electrical System Battery Management System The Talawana is equipped with the Redarc Manager30 Battery Management System (BMS). The Manager30 operates like 6 separate products, it charges an auxiliary battery from the vehicle while on the move, it’s a 240 V charger, a MPPT solar regulator, a battery isolator, a load disconnect controller, all with a remote battery monitor.
  • Page 17 Inverter The Talawana is also equipped with a Redarc 2000 W pure sine wave inverter and automatic change- over relay. This means that no matter where you are, you are able to run your 240 V appliances off the hybrid! If you are free camping, you will need to turn on the inverter, and you are limited to 2000 W appliances.
  • Page 18 Extra Solar Input Also included on the Talawana is a solar input on the rear driver’s side of the hybrid. This is for connection to an external solar panel to supplement the 400 W of solar on the roof. This input requires a regulated panel to be connected, use of an un-regulated panel may cause damage to the batteries in the hybrid.
  • Page 19 Fuse box The fuse box is located under the seat inside the Talawana. Each of the fuses are listed on the inside of the fuse box lid and will have a red light next to them if they need replacing. It is highly recommended to keep a mix pack of spare fuses in the hybrid in case of tripping.
  • Page 20 Water System The Talawana is equipped with 2 x 120 L fresh water poly tanks with stainless steel guard and 1 x 80 L grey water poly tank with stainless steel guard. All 3 tanks have taps and bungs on the bottom of the tank for easy draining and rinsing.
  • Page 21 Truma Ultra-Rapid Hot Water System The Talawana has a Truma ultra-rapid gas/electric hot water system installed. This system is designed to run off either the plumbed gas in the hybrid or from 240 V mains power. For detailed instructions, please see the instruction manual supplied in the hybrid. How to light hot water system on gas •...
  • Page 22 Braking Systems Electric Brakes The Talawana 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 23 Trailer Breakaway The Talawana 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 hybrid.
  • Page 24 Setting up campsite When setting up your campsite it is important to have the camper set up close to level but keeping a small run off to the rear of the van to ensure water does not pool on the roof. 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.
  • Page 25 Gas System The Talawana is fitted with plumbed gas, with the gas cylinder holders mounted inside the front toolbox. The gas hoses have the LCC27 connection and requires the matching gas cylinder to be able to use the system. The regulator has a one-way valve on top to allow for easy switching of the gas cylinders.
  • Page 26 Outside Shade Electric awning The Talawana range is fitted with an electric awning as standard. This is controlled by the 3-way awning rocker switch in the control panel. It is important to use the legs to support the awning when opening, closing and when the awning is fully extended.
  • Page 27 Toilet The Talawana is fitted with the Dometic CTS 4110 toilet. This has a 19L waste tank for longer trips and draws flush water from the Talawana water tanks.

  • Page 28 External Kitchen Your Talawana is equipped with a quality stainless steel kitchen complete with a Dometic 3 burner* cook top, and sink. The kitchen is located at the middle passenger side of the camper and can be accessed by opening the access hatch, once the hatch is open you will see 2 blue levers either side of the kitchen.
  • Page 29 Air Conditioner The Talawana range of hybrids comes fitted with the Dometic Harrier Lite air conditioner. This is installed to work off the 240 V system only, meaning that it will not work unless the hybrid is connected to shore power; it will not work off the installed inverter. The air conditioner will work from a generator connected through the 15 A input on the side of the hybrid.
  • Page 30 TV antenna / TV / DVD The hybrid is fitted with an Omnidirectional TV antenna with booster, a Digital TV, and a FM/CD/DVD/Bluetooth capable stereo. Watching Free-to-Air TV • Make sure “cigi sockets” switch is on • Turn on TV with the remote •...
  • Page 31 Condensation / mould Condensation is a normal part of living in Australia, and this is highlighted when camping. The temperature difference inside and outside a hybrid camper can be quite significant, and with the moisture in the Australian air and the smaller living area of a hybrid camper, condensation can build up overnight.
