  • Page 12: Drawbar Load

    The gross vehicle weight rating in- dicated in the vehicle documents as well as the permitted drawbar load may not be exceeded. Also note the permissible drawbar load of your base vehicle. Providing your base vehicle permits this and depending on the size of the camper, you can improve the driving quality by increasing the drawbar load.
  • Page 13 . Determine the maximum drawbar load of your base vehicle by checking its documentation, the type plate or the drawbar plate. 2. Your HOBBY camper has a maximum per- missible drawbar load of 100 kg. 3. Adjust the drawbar load on the camper to the lower of the two values by loading it careful- ly.
  • Page 14 longer than that of an individual vehicle. The load in the caravan also has a significant influence on the braking distance. Rules for braking • Note the longer braking distance on wet roads. • When driving down mountains or steep hills, do not use a higher gear than when driving uphill.

  • Page 15: Driving In Reverse

    Slight counter-steering can eliminate this effect. Driving in reverse Your HOBBY camper has a braking system with automatic reverse. This makes driving in reverse possible without activating the overrunning brake. However, in addition to rolling resistance, the resi- dual brake force must first be overcome.

  • Page 26 Safety coupling WS 3000 The camper is equipped with an anti-rolling cou- pling in accordance with ISO 11555-1. This safety coupling stabilises the camper while driving and ensures better driving performance. Please note the additional operating instructions and the manufacturer's safety instructions. WARNING: The laws of physics cannot be defied with a safety hitch.
  • Page 27 Activation of the stabilization system • To activate the stabilization system, the operation lever must be moved downward out of the closed position () until it locks in (3). The spring corpus will become tense in the process, so that contact pressure is created on the coupling ball via the friction elements.
  • Page 28 Maintenance Coupling ball on base vehicle The coupling ball should be dimensionally stable, free of damage, clean and free of grease. When using dacromet-coated (dull silver anti- corrosion coating) as well as lacquered coupling balls, the coating must be removed completely with sandpaper (00-0 grain) so that it does not create deposits on the friction lining.
