This manual is supplied as a reference to required maintenance of your new Austrack Campers Hybrid offroad camper. Failure to use and maintain the product in accordance with what is outlined in this manual may affect your warranty.

This is the weight of your fully loaded vehicle. TARE The weight of the vehicle or trailer without water, fuel or any cargo. ATM Aggregate Trailer Mass.
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.
Specifications Finish • Baked enamel metallic finish with polished aluminium trim. Construction • Zincanneal steel with underbody deadener protected chassis & drawbar. Fully Welded hot dipped galvanised full RHS box drawbar and chassis 100 x 50 x 4.0mm Hitch • McHitch 3.5T Full Off-road Coupling.
Solar The Telegraph LT comes with a 200 A free standing solar panel. This is designed to plug into the Anderson plug on the drawbar. It has a built-in solar regulator and is plug and play.
Water system The Telegraph LT is fitted with 1 x 100 L Foodgrade poly water tank with stainless steel tank guard. The tank has a bung and tap on the bottom of the tank for easy draining and rinsing. The water tank filler is closer to the rear of the trailer. The filler is equipped with a breather hole which will allow the air to escape the tank while the water is going in.
Anderson Plug The Telegraph LT is fitted with an Anderson connection at the drawbar. This is wired directly to the batteries through a circuit breaker inside the water tank change over compartment. This is designed to run all regulated sources of charging to the batteries and can also be utilised as a power output if required.
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.
Regular Checks Wheel Nuts Wheel nuts should be checked on a regular basis usings a torque wrench and tightened to 140 Nm. It is not recommended to use a rattle gun, as there is no way to know how tight the nuts are. Overtightening will damage the studs and will cause them to fail prematurely.
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. Stabiliser Leg Levelling ramps will need to be used if excessive side to side levelling is required.
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.
Gas System The Telegraph LT is fitted with plumbed gas, with the gas cylinder holders mounted inside the front stone guard. The gas hose has 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.
External Kitchen Your Telegraph LT is equipped with a quality stainless steel kitchen complete with a Dometic 3 burner cooktop, sink and drying rack. The kitchen is located at the front passenger side of the camper and can be accessed by opening the access hatch, once the hatch is open you will see 2 blue handles, one on each side, press down and gently slide the kitchen out.
Care Advice External Paint The external surface requires regular maintenance in the same way as your vehicle. Only use mild, ammonia free detergents paired with a non-abrasive wash pad or sponge to wash the camper. Only use wax-based polishes, do not use cutting compounds or abrasive pastes. These will leave scratches and may expose the base material.
