  • Page 10 • If necessary, secure the roof load and lash it to prevent slippage. • If necessary, secure all bicycles and lash them to prevent slippage, ensuring that they do not cover any lighting equipment. • In winter, the roof must be free of snow and ice before you begin to drive.

  • Page 11: Loading

    2.3 Loading Rules for loading: • Spread the load evenly between the left and right-hand side of the camper. Heavy or bulky objects belong in the lower storage compart- ments and near the axle. • If your camper has a tandem axle: distribute the centre of weight between the two axles.
  • Page 12 1. 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 13: Handling Performance

    2.4 Handling Performance Driving Take a test drive or a safety training course be- fore the first long drive to better acquaint your- self with the carriage in driving conditions. Rules for driving • Do not underestimate the length of the carriage.
  • Page 14 (initial inspection). Driving in reverse Your HOBBY camper has a braking system with automatic reverse. It enables you to drive back- wards without applying the brakes, because the overrun coupling does not differentiate between overrunning or reversing the camper.

  • Page 15: After The Drive

    Rules for driving in reverse • The camper tilts in the opposite direction in which you steer. • Use a guide when driving in reverse. Shunting Your carriage is significantly larger than a car. Rules for shunting • There is a significant blind spot in shunting, even when the exterior mirrors are properly adjusted.
  • Page 16 A spring brake on the brake lever ensures that the brakes will not disen- gage by themselves, even if the rota- tion direction is reversed from driving forwards to backwards. If you have activated automatic reverse, the brake lever must be moved beyond the dead centre position to its final position.
  • Page 17 02-10...

  • Page 18: Undercarriage And Vehicle Registration

    For the sake of traffic safety, the vehicle under- carriage must be maintained just as conscienti- ously as the base vehicle itself. This maintenance should be carried out by your HOBBY dealer. If spare parts are required, use only the original parts designated by the manufacturer.

  • Page 23: Locking Brake Facilities

    3.5 Locking brake The components of the brake system, especially the overrun coupling, transmission and wheel facilities brakes have been checked in accordance with the corresponding EU directives and may only be used in the licensed combination. If you alter or modify any components of the brake facilities, the operation permission loses its validity.

  • Page 24: Overrunning Equipment And Wheel Brakes

    3.6 Overrunning equipment The overrunning brake facility consists of the overrun coupling, a transmission and the wheel and wheel brakes brakes. Should the camper bump into the base vehicle, the overrunning brake facility ensures that it will automatically brake. In other words, the overrunning brake facility functions indepen- dently from the base vehicle's brake system.

  • Page 25: Rotating Stanchions

    It is mandatory that the brake pads are regularly adjusted by an authori- sed specialist (initial inspection after 500 km) to compensate for wear in the brake lining and minimise brake pedal travel on the wheel brakes and, therefore, the overrun coupling, keeping it as consistent as possible.

  • Page 123: Ventilation

    Sufficient ventilation and de-aeration of the vehi- 12.5 Ventilation cle interior is essential to maintaining a com- fortable climate. In addition, corrosion damage from sweat residue can be avoided. Sweat residue forms most readily - in tight spaces, - from the breath and perspiration of the passen gers, - by carrying in damp clothing, - when operating the gas cooker.
  • Page 124 Thoroughly dry the light sockets, because water collects there easily. Never use caustic cleaners or clea- ners which contain solvents. Cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner Labels and exterior decorations should not be sprayed directly with a high-pressure cleaner, because they may come off.

  • Page 131 • The camper uses considerably more gas in winter than in summer. Two 11 kg bottles of gas will be used up in just under one week. • Therefore, should you stay longer in one place, it is worthwhile to set up an outer tent. It will help to acclimatise the camper and keep the dirt out.
