0m Before the first trip You should certainly familiarize yourself thoroughly with the contents of this handbook; it is much more than a reference book. Fill out the guarantee cards for the built-in appliances in the separate instructions, and send the guarantee cads to the respective manufacturers. In doing so, you secure your right to a guarantee for all devices. HOBBY grants a five-year guarantee on the watertightness of the camper in accordance with the guarantee conditions.
Guidelines Guidelines point out important details which ensure the trouble-free function of the camper and its equipment. Please bear in mind that various models have different equipment; therefore, varying descriptions are possible. WARNINGS Warnings point out dangers which, if they are not followed, could cause damage to equipment and/or injury to persons. Environmental tips Environmental tips show possible ways to reduce strain on the environment.
1 Safety 1.1 Before the first drive Registration Every vehicle which uses public roads is subject to registration. This includes your new camper. You can register the camper at your local registration office.
Exterior Go around the carriage and prepare for the drive as follows: Preparation of the vehicle • The vehicle must be hitched properly (see guidelines for the safety hitch WS3000). • The pull rope must be connected to the base vehicle. • Inspect the vehicle lighting. • Turn the winding stanchions and the front • • • • • • • • • • • • landing wheel upward and secure them. Close gas bottles. (Heating is forbidden while driving.) Close gas bottle compartment. Adjust the outer mirrors on the base vehicle.
WS 3000 safety hitch The camper is equipped with an anti-sling hitch. This safety hitch secures the camper during the drive and ensures better handling. Please note the additional operation guide and safety tips from the manufacturer. WARNING: The laws of physics cannot be defied with a safety hitch. If the limits (of speed and weight conditions) are exceeded, traction and cornering force are reduced, which then becomes the responsibility of the driver. Therefore, avoid elevated risks.
Activation of the stabilization system 1 • To activate the stabilization system, the 2 3 operation lever must be moved downward out of the closed position (2) 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. Afterward, the operation lever lies approximately parallel to the drawbar axle. Driving without the stabilization system is possible, however, and under certain street conditions, i.e.
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 anticorrosion coating) as well as lacquered coupling balls, the coating must be removed completely with sandpaper (200-240 grain) so that it does not create deposits on the friction lining. The metal surface of the coupling ball must be bright.
Hints for 1 and 2: Remove the surface coating of the coupling ball with sandpaper (200-240 grain) and clean with a thinning solvent or spirit. for 3: Polish or clean dirty or damaged coupling balls. for 4: Clean the surface of the friction elements with sandpaper (200-240 grain) and then clean with petroleum ether or spirit. Interior You must also prepare the interior of the vehicle. Preparing the interior: • Sort all loose objects and store them in their respective compartments.
Base vehicle Do not forget the following: • Adjust exterior mirrors. • Check the lights.
The gross vehicle weight rating indicated 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. Roof loads The height of the camper may vary on each drive depending on the roof load. Rules for roof load • Add the measurements of the roof load to the height of the camper. • Post a note in a highly visible area of the base vehicle which lists the total vehicle height.
Driving Take a test drive before the first long drive to better acquaint yourself with the carriage in driving conditions. Also practice driving in reverse. Rules for driving • Do not underestimate the length of the • • • • • • • • carriage. Exercise special caution when driving toward yards and through gates. In conditions with strong side winds, slick ice or wet roads, the carriage could move back and forth. Adjust driving speed to overall street and traffic conditions.
Driving around curves Your carriage is considerably longer than a car. Rules for driving around curves • Do not take curves too quickly or too sharply! • Take the curve at a somewhat wider radius when turning. • Note that the camper can sheer out of line over the rear. 1.4 Emergency equipment To be prepared for an emergency, you need at lest three basic items of rescue equipment (first aid kit, warning triangle and fire extinguisher) which you should carry at all times and know how to use.
Fire extinguisher (not included) You should familiarize yourself with the handling of the fire extinguisher early on. Note the fill date! The fire extinguisher must be inspected every two years. Fire prevention measures • Never leave children unattended in the vehicle • Ensure that all passengers are familiar with the location and use of the emergency exits. • Keep all escape routes clear. • Keep flammable materials away from all heat• • • • ing and cooking appliances.
A Shake the bottle. Open the fill hose (1) on the bottle (foil seal is thereby punctured). B Unscrew the valve cap from the tire valve. Remove the valve insert (2) with the valvecore remover (3). Do not lay the valve insert (2) down in sand or dirt. C Pull the stopper (4) from the fill hose (1). Push the fill hose onto the tire valve. D Hold the bottle down with the filling tube and then press them together. Press the entire bottle contents into the tire.
1.5 Maximum speeds This camper is technically equipped for a speed of 100 km/h. This means that a maximum speed of 100 km/h is permitted with a suitable base vehicle and special permission. Never drive faster than 100 km/h, even if the permitted maximum speed is higher in various countries. The maximum speed in Germany is 80 km/h.

1.6 After the drive Choosing a parking place Rules for choosing a parking place: • The parking place should be as horizontal as possible. • Check to see that the entry step is positioned horizontally (important for refrigerator func tion). • Balance the lengthwise slant with the front landing wheel. • Balance the crosswise slant by laying appropriate boards under a wheel. Do not compensate differences in height with the lift stanchions.
2 Undercarriage 2.1 Undercarriage Frame parts and axles are components of the undercarriage. No technical modifications are allowed; otherwise, the terms of operation are no longer valid! For the sake of traffic safety, the vehicle undercarriage must be maintained just as conscientiously as the base vehicle itself. This maintenance should be conducted by your HOBBY dealer. If spare parts are needed, only those original parts designated by the manufacturer should be used.
The camper's turning rod spring axle unit is equipped with compact wheel bearings. The cylinder hub, compact bearings and axle nuts form a closed unit. The compact bearings are free of maintenance due to their special grease. The wheel brake may never be repositioned on the fixing lock or on the yoke end of the bars! Only reposition the wheel brake on the self-securing stationary hexagonal nut! You can find further guidelines in the operating instructions from the axle supplier.
2.2 Loading Definition of masses (weights) for caravans The EU regulation 97/27/EG applies for calculating the masses (weights) and for the loading which results from these calculations. The EU regulations correspnd to a great extent to the norm DIN EN 1645-2. The terms and basic calculation elements used in this description are explained in the following: 1. Gross vehicle weight rating (g.v.w.r.) The indication of the gross vehicle weight rating is taken directly from the HOBBY factory.
4. Additional load The additional load is the difference between the "gross vehicle weight rating minus the mass in running order". The remaining additional load must be large enough to cover the weights of possible additional equipment and personal equipment. 5. Additional equipment Additional equipment includes all items not part of the standard equipment preinstalled in the HOBBY factory or by the dealer. This also includes installations by special request.
If conditions for the base vehicle ar right, an increase in the drawbar load can improve the overall handling of the camper. The lower the center of gravity in a vehicle, the better the handling (also when driving around curves). 1 2 3 Loading areas in the camper - Lightweight objects (1) such as hand towels and lightweight clothing. - Moderately heavy objects (2) such as normal clothing, laundry and food. - Heavy objects (3) such as the outer tent and boat motor. 2.
2.4 Entry step tread When entering and exiting the vehicle: • Ensure that the step tread (1) is placed on a level surface; this prevents the step tread from falling over. Note the varied tread heights and, when exiting, ensure you will step onto firm and even ground.
3 Wheels, tires, brakes 3.1 Tires Only use those tires designated in the registration documents. Other tire sizes may only be used with the permission of the manufacturer. 3.2 Tire pressure Check the tire pressure on all tires as well as the spare tire approximately every four weeks and before all long trips. Rules for checking tire pressure: • Check and fix tire pressure every four weeks (but at least every three months) and before every drive. • If driving on low tire pressure is unavoidable (i.e.
3.3 Profile depth New tires are needed (at the latest) when the profile depth measures 1.6 mm. Tires age even when used rarely or not at all. Tire manufacturers' recommendation • Change tires after six years, regardless of profile depth. • Avoid striking curbs, potholes or other obstacles. 3.4 Rims Use only those rims indicated in the general operating permission documents.
3.5 Changing the tire Preparing to change the tire • If possible, only change the tire when the base vehicle is coupled to the camper. • Park the trailer carriage on as firm and even a surface as possible. • If you have tire trouble on a public road, turn 1 on your hazard warning signal lights and set up the warning triangle. • Base vehicle: Pull the handbrake, set the wheels straight, put the vehicle in gear or, if you are driving an automatic, set the gear to P.
Warnings for changing the tire: Only use the specifically designated jack for the corresponding frame parts. For example, on the axle pipe corresponding to the swinging lever group or on the stringer in the area of the axle fasteners. Damage or even an accident resulting from the vehicle's toppling over can occur if the jack is applied to other parts of the vehicle. The jack is only to be used for changing tires.
Changing the wheel • Set the corresponding jack onto the axle pipe • • • • • • • • • • of the swinging lever group or on the longitu dinal beam in the area of the axle attachments of the wheel to be changed. On campers with a double axle, always set the jack onto the rear axle; a hydraulic jack (not included) is recommended. If the vehicle is parked on soft ground, lay a stable reinforcement under jack (i.e., a board). Lift the vehicle until the wheel is 2 or 3 cm off the ground.
To lock 1 • Pull the locking brake lever upward by the handle (1) until it locks into place. The locking brake lever is pressed into the final position by the gas pressure spring. To release • Press the locking brake lever back into the original position. 3.7 03-6 Overrunning brake . facilities The brake system must be inspected after driving 1,000 km. If the tension ball coupler can be pushed in by hand to more than a third of the usable overrunning path (approx.
4 Exterior structure 4.1 Forced ventilation/de-aerating Rules for forced ventilation Proper ventilation and de-aerating of the vehicle is a prerequisite for ideal living comfort. A draftfree forced-ventilation system is located in the floor and a forced de-aerating system is located in the ceiling which should not be interfered with. Ventilation and de-aerating of the refrigerator can be closed with the corresponding covers if not operated via gas.
Refrigerator 2 The ventilation bars provide the refrigerator with fresh air from outside to ensure sufficient cooling performance. The ventilation bar is located at the bottom of the exterior vehicle wall. The de-aeration bar is located above the ventilation bar. 1 there is a danger of suffocation if ventilation openings are blocked! Therefore, do not block ventilation openings. Special cover plates should be used during winter operation. You can buy these cover plates from your dealer.
