  • Page 13 Introduction...

  • Page 14: Introduction

    Caravan & Tow Vehicle INTRODUCTION Choosing the right car and caravan combination for safe and stable towing is both an art and a science. It may seem complicated to the newcomer, but a few minutes spent understanding the basic principles, common terms and definitions in use will be worthwhile in ensuring your enjoyment of our product.

  • Page 15: Measurement Of Nose Weight

    Another simple method is to use bathroom scales and a suitable piece of strong timber as a platform to rest the tow hitch on. The timber can be placed vertically between the caravan tow hitch and the bathroom scales. The timber should be of such length that when the caravan tow hitch is lowered onto it, using the jockey wheel, the caravan floor is horizontal.

  • Page 16: Recommended Tow Ball Height

    There are a number of suspension aids available and advice should be sought on which to use and how to fit. It is important to ensure that the caravan is towed either level or slightly nose down. If it is not, then the car’s towbar may be at the wrong height.

  • Page 17: Loading And Distribution Of Weight In The Caravan And Car

    2.2.6 Loading and distribution of weight in the caravan and car Equipment and personal effects should be loaded in the caravan so that any heavy items are low down near the floor and mainly over the axle(s). The remainder should be distributed to give a suitable noseweight at the towing coupling (see illustration).

  • Page 18: Noseweight

    Caravan & Tow Vehicle ▲ Always load the caravan in such a way that maximises towing safety. Incorrect caravan loading and/or overloading of the towing vehicles rear suspension will also result in poor towing stability. The weight should be distributed so that each side...

  • Page 19: Hitching The Caravan To The Tow Vehicle

    Shut and lock the caravan exterior. Gauge the height of the car’s tow ball then raise or lower the height of the caravan’s towing hitch to ensure that it is high enough to pass over it cleanly and not hit the tow ball. Rotating the caravans jockey wheel handle can do this.
  • Page 20 The final positioning should be carried out by manoeuvring the caravan by hand. Carefully release the caravan handbrake. Manoeuvre the caravan by hand to position the caravan’s tow hitch directly over the car’s tow ball. ▲ Always manoeuvre the caravan by pushing /pulling on the grab handles only. Not the body panels.

  • Page 21: Towing

    60 mph on dual carriageways and motorways. 2.3.2 Pulling away Allow more engine speed to produce the power to move the additional weight of the caravan. Let the clutch out smoothly. Avoid wear and tear on the clutch and transmission by taking extra care.

  • Page 22: Mirrors

    Reduce speed in high winds, cross winds, downhill or in poor visibility. High sided vehicles such as lorries or coaches can cause air buffeting, so extra care must be taken when passing or being passed. Give as much space as is possible between your caravan and the high sided vehicle.

  • Page 23: Stabilisers

    Caravan & Tow Vehicle 2.3.9 Stabilisers A stabiliser should never be used to try to improve a caravan/towing vehicle combination that has poor stability as instability may appear at higher speed. However, a good stabiliser can make an acceptable caravan/towing vehicle combination more comfortable and easier to handle.

  • Page 24: Tyre Pressures

    If the caravan is not used for long periods of time (winter months) it is recommended that the wheels/ tyres are removed and stored at normal inflation pressure in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight, sources of heat, ozone concentrations and fuel/oil contamination.

  • Page 25: Spare Wheels

    In some instances it may be necessary to raise the caravan using a jack to make it easier to remove the spare wheel from the carrier.

  • Page 26: Unhitching

    If you have no alternative but to pitch on a slope ensure that, for when you leave, you are facing down the slope. It is good practice to chock the wheels of the caravan when parked on a slope even though the caravan brakes are applied.

  • Page 27: Levelling The Caravan

    ▲ Under no circumstances should the corner steadies be used as a jack as they are only a means of stabilising the caravan. Levelling pads or boards should be used under the steadies where the ground is soft or uneven.

    This is located under the chest of drawers at the front of the caravan. Firstly ensure that the drain tap, located on the front offside of the caravan, is shut. To fill, place the carbon filter assembly hose inside a filled water container before inserting the plug in the caravan wall socket.

  • Page 33: Aquasource Direct Mains Water Connection

    ● The system is pressure controlled to 1bar to protect your caravan from flooding and sustaining damage to your water system. (Plumbing connections should be checked at the beginning of every season for frost damage or loose connections).

  • Page 34: Waste (Grey) Water System

    Upon arrival at the caravan site advice should always be sought from the site manager as to where waste (Grey) water is to be disposed of.

  • Page 35: Types Of Gas

    ● Always ensure that the gas system is inspected/maintained every 12 months. ● In the event of a fire ensure all occupants evacuate the caravan via the nearest escape route. ● If it is safe to do so turn off the yellow isolating valve located in the gas box directly below the regulator.

  • Page 36: Changing Gas Cylinders

    This is located in the caravan gas box mounted on the front bulkhead of the caravan between the gas bottles. The gas regulator has a working pressure of 30mbar and is suitable for both propane and butane liquefied petroleum gas.

  • Page 37: Ventilation

    Do not operate any electrical apparatus whatsoever, especially light switches. If the leak is not obvious, the caravan should be evacuated and a competent service engineer consulted. Avoid naked lights when connecting or changing a cylinder. Ensure the gas valve is turned off.

  • Page 38: The Electrical System - 230 Volt

    ▲ Check that any residual current device (earth leakage circuit breaker) in the mains supply to the caravan has been tested within the last month. After connection to site supply, test again.

  • Page 39: On Leaving Caravan Site

    ● replace the cover of the socket outlet at the site supply point. It is dangerous to leave the supply socket or supply flexible cable live. Every 12 months, the caravan electrical installation should be inspected and tested and a report on its condition obtained as prescribed in the Regulations for Electrical Installations, published by the Institute of Electrical Engineers.

  • Page 40: Mains Unit

    It is possible that all of the 230v mains electrical equipment may not be able to be operated simultaneously. A typical UK caravan park mains hook up point provides a maximum output of 16 amps and on some continental sites the available output may be as low as 5 amps. If your loading exceeds the site supply it may trip the parks circuit breaker.

  • Page 41: The Electrical System - 12 Volt

    THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – 12 VOLT Your caravan is fitted with a 12 volt charger as standard. This converts the 230 volt AC supply into 12 volt DC. This enables the 12 volt equipment in the caravan to function and charges the caravan leisure battery.

  • Page 42: 12-Volt Control Panel

    Auxiliary Battery storage/mains inlet The battery and 230V mains inlet are located in a special locker mounted in the side of the caravan. The door frame has a cable recess allowing the door to be locked when the mains cable is connected.
  • Page 43 ▲ Car type battery chargers are not suitable for charging a leisure battery and may damage When storing the caravan for long periods of time, we recommend that the 12 volt leisure battery is disconnected and removed, except in the case of Senator models - please see 4.23.3 Tracker alarm winter storage.
