EXTERNAL SHOWER POINT /
BATTERY BOX
Caravans with TV inlet in
battery box
Models equipped with TV points in the battery
box have the facility to take an external signal
and supply that signal to TV points within the
caravan.
Caravans equipped in this way feature a
direct link from the connection point in the
battery box, to an auxiliary connection point
at the primary TV position within the caravan.
The direct link can be used to:
1. Supply an external signal (caravan site TV
feed) to the primary TV position
a. Connect the socket in the battery box
(on flying lead depending on model), with
a suitable lead, to the appropriate socket
on the caravan site supply post. As the
connector in the battery box is a screw on
‘F-type’ connector, an adaptor to convert
this to a ‘push-on’ co-ax connector, which
may be required, has been supplied with
your caravan.
b. Locate the primary TV position within the
caravan. At the 12V, TV and SAT socket,
connect your TV to the output from the
socket marked SAT with a suitable lead.
2. Connect an external satellite dish to a
decoder within the caravan. (The direct link
uses F-type interconnects throughout to
allow the decoder and dish to communicate
correctly)
a. Connect the dish to the socket (or flying
lead) in the battery box with a suitable lead.
The F-type to co-ax adaptor should not be
used.
b. Connect the dish input connection on the
decoder to the ‘SAT’ socket on the 12V, TV
and SAT socket located in the primary TV
location.
3. Supply a signal from within the caravan to
the exterior of the caravan
a. Connect the output from your VCR, DVD
player or other device to the SAT connection
on the 12V, TV and SAT socket at the
primary TV position.
b. Connect your receiving device (TV or similar)
to the socket in the battery box with a
suitable lead.
As can be seen from the simplified schematic,
when multiple TV locations are present in a
van, all of these receive signals from the TV
aerial connection box. Using adaptors and
link cables which are readily available, it may
be possible to re-direct a signal from the
‘SAT’ connection at the primary TV location,
up to the aerial connection box to be then
distributed to other TV positions within the
caravan. Please remember that as the number
of connections increases the quality of the
signal reduces.
Supplier fitted / supplied
entertainment equipment
Audio-visual equipment may have been fitted
by your dealer, or supplied with the caravan,
depending on the specification of the caravan.
Although not specific, below are details of the
types of equipment which would be fitted as
appropriate to the specification of the caravan:

dashboard of a car. The unit operates as a CD
player and FM/AM radio. In addition MP3 files
stored on a CD can be read and played by the
unit. Speakers mounted in the front locker of
The coupling K-valve is being designed such
that the quick acting valve can only be opened
if the connection is being made via the plug-
in connection. The connection is made by
inserting the plug-in connection into the safety
coupling.
This operation can be carried out using one
hand. After uncoupling the equipment, seal off
the valve opening using the protection seal.
Note: The external gas socket is only
suitable for removing gas, not for feeding
gas into the gas system.
! WARNING: Care should be taken when
using the external barbeque point. Never
barbeque next to an awning or tent.
! WARNING: The caravan barbeque point
should only be used as an outlet point for
gas, never connect a gas bottle direct to the
outlet.
External shower point
The external shower point, is supplied
with a separate shower head and hose
assembly. To connect the shower, simply
align the plug with the socket and push
into position. To remove, pull the lower
trigger and pull the plug from the socket.
