Load Distribution When heading away on your next big adventure it is important to load your caravan 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 caravan weight.

Electrical System Battery Management System The Tanami 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.
Inverter The Tanami 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.
Extra Solar Input Also included on the Tanami 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.
Fuse box The fuse box is located under the seat inside the Tanami. 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.
Water System The Tanami 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.
Truma Ultra-Rapid Hot Water System The Tanami 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.

Braking Systems Electric Brakes The Tanami 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 Tanami 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.
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.
Gas System The Tanami 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. The valve must be pointing in the direction of the gas cylinder being used for the gas to flow through the system.
Outside Shade Electric awning The Tanami 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.
Toilet The Tanami is fitted with the Thetford C402-2 toilet. This has an inbuild 15L flush tank and 19L waste tank for longer trips. A tester set of chemicals is provided in the hybrid, and it is recommended to use only the Thetford chemicals and toilet paper. Filling the flush tank •...
Use of the toilet • Run water into the bowl by pressing the flush knob briefly or open the valve blade by turning the handle anti-clockwise. Your Thetford toilet is now ready for use. • After use, open the valve blade (if still closed) by turning the handle anti-clockwise. •...
Preparing the toilet for storage It is important that you follow the instructions below if you do not expect to use the Thetford toilet for a long period. • Completely empty the water tank through the drain tube, which also serves as a level indicator.
External Kitchen Your Tanami is equipped with a quality stainless steel kitchen complete with a Dometic 3 burner cook top, sink and drying rack. 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.
Air Conditioner The Tanami 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.
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 •...
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.
