1. Introduction Our caravans are continuously being further developed. Please understand that we reserve the right to make changes to their equipment, shape and technology. Therefore, HOBBY shall not be liable for any claims arising from the contents of this handbook. Please understand that we cannot describe all of the individual variations. Your dealer will be pleased to answer any special questions regarding the equipment and technology of your caravan. 1.
1.2 Markings in these operation instructions 1 Markings in these operation instructions The handbook explains the caravan as follows Texts and illustrations The texts which accompany illustrations are found directly to the right of the illustrations. Details in illustrations (here: entry door) are marked with position numbers j. Lists - Lists are based on key points and are preceded by a dash.
Optional Extras You have selected a caravan that is equipped to taste. This user manual describes all of the models and equipment offered within the same programme. Therefore, it may include equipment that you have not selected. Differences and, thus, all of the optional extras are marked with an asterisk „ “. * Should there be any equipment or model that is not described in this user manual, please note the enclosed additional operating instructions.
2. Safety 2.1 General information Keys The following keys are provided with the caravan: - Two keys which fit into the following locks: - entry door, - service flaps, - toilet flap. - gas-bottle container lid - fresh-water tank lid - Rear Storage Locker (Premium) Warnings and information labels are attached both inside and outside the vehicle. These are meant for your safety and may not be removed.
Fighting a fire • Evacuate all passengers immediately. • Close the main shut-off valve on the gas bottle as well as the shut-off valves on gaspowered appliances. • Shut off the electrical supply • Sound alarm and call the fire department. • Only fight the fire yourself if this is possible without risk. 2.2 Before each journey As the owner and driver, you are responsible for the condition of your vehicle.
• If necessary, pull the electrical cord to the • • • • • 230 V mains supply out of the exterior socket. If necessary, pull the television antenna inward as far as possible or fold over the satellite dish. 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. If necessary, secure the spare tyre holder (Premium) to ensure it does not become unhoked.
2.3 Loading Rules for loading: • Spread the load evenly between the left and • • • • • • • • right-hand side of the caravan. Heavy or bulky objects belong in the lower storage compartments and near the axle. If your caravan has a tandem axle: distribute the centre of weight between the two axles. Never focus the load in the caravan to the rear (danger of swinging back and forth). Heavy objects should be stowed securely to prevent them from slipping.
Stowage areas in the caravan - Light objects j such as towels and lightweight laundry. - Medium-weight objects k such as clothing, laundry and food. - Heavy objects l such as the outer tent, boat motor or crates of drinks. 1 2 3 If your caravan is equipped with a rear bicycle rack, the reduction in the drawbar load created by the bicycles must be compensated by the rest of the load.
2.4 Handling Performance Driving Take a test drive or a safety training course before the first long drive to better acquaint yourself with the carriage in driving conditions. 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.
Brakes A trailer carriage behaves differently from an individual vehicle while braking. Therefore, it is advisable (especially for inexperienced drivers) to conduct several braking tests on a suitable surface. The braking distance for a carriage is 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.
The caravan's brakes are deactivated when you drive in reverse. Rules for driving in reverse • The caravan tilts in the opposite direction in which you steer. • Use a guide when driving in reverse. Shunting (moving caravan by hand) Your carriage is significantly larger than a car. Rules for moving caravan • There is a significant blind spot when moving the caravan, even when the exterior mirrors are properly adjusted. • Use a another person when turning into difficult parking spots.
Securing the vehicle Rules for securing the vehicle: • Set the parking brake. • Only extend the rotating stancions as far as necessary so that the axle still bears part of the weight (The crank is located in the bottle container). • Lay mats under the lifting stanchions when on soft ground. • Use stop-blocks to secure the wheels. A spring brake on the brake lever ensures that the brakes will not disengage by themselves, even if the rotation direction is reversed from driving forwards to backwards.
Water installation Water left standing in the fresh water tank or the pipes quickly becomes undrinkable. Please empty any residual water from the water tank before filling it with fresh water. Therefore, check the water pipes and the fresh water tank before each drive to ensure they are clean. Disinfect and rinse the drinking water facility regularly, and always before each journey.
3. Chassis and vehicle registration 3.1 General information 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 carried out by your HOBBY dealer. If spare parts are required, use only the original parts designated by the manufacturer.
3.3 Safety coupling WS 3000 The caravan has been fitted with a safety coupling with tracking stabiliser to prevent it from becoming pendulous or pitching. This system conforms to ISO 11555-1. It has been permitted for use up to a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Please note the additional operating instructions and the manufacturer's safety instructions. WARNING: A safety coupling does not suspend the laws of physics.
Inspection of hitch • The ball coupling is closed when the lever rests in position k or l and the green pin of the hitching display m is visible. 4 If the WS 3000 is not properly attached to the coupling ball, the caravan can detach from the base vehicle. Activation of the stabilization system • To activate the stabilization system, the operation lever must be moved downward out of the closed position k until it locks in l.
Controlling the stabilizing device Nach Ankuppeln und Aktivieren der Stabilisierungseinrichtung kann der Zustand der Reibelemente kontrolliert werden: 5 - After having hitched and activated the stabilizing device, you can then control the state of the friction pads: If the wear indicator n is in the green (OK) zone, the friction pads are suitable for driving. If the indicator is in the yellow transition zone, the friction pads must be replaced without delay.
3.5 Locking brake facilities The components of the brake system, especially the overrun coupling, transmission and wheel 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. Modifications may only be made with the manufacturer's permission.
3.6 Overrunning equipment . and wheel brakes The overrunning brake facility consists of the overrun coupling, a transmission and the wheel brakes. Should the caravan bump into the base vehicle, the overrunning brake facility ensures that it will automatically brake. In other words, the overrunning brake facility functions independently from the base vehicle's brake system. The brake force that is generated depends mainly on how intensely the base vehicle brakes and how heavily the caravan has been loaded.
checked every 5,000 km or at least once every year. One sure sign of strong brake lining wear is described in the aforementioned check for the overrunning equipment: if the safety clutch can be pushed in more than approx. 45 mm. Automatic Brake Adjustment (Premium) All Premium models have an automatic brake adjustment that independently compensates for wear in the brake lining. • Regular adjustment of the brakes is not necessary. • Brake adjustment is automatically deactivated when driving in reverse.
Please read the separately enclosed operating manual of the axle/brake manufacturer (Knott). 3.7 Rotating stanchions De Luxe/Excellent/Prestige The rotating stanchions are located in the front and rear under the caravan. Turning the rotating stanchions outward • Park the vehicle as horizontally as possible. • On soft ground, lay a sturdy mat or suitably sized board under the rotating stanchions to prevent the caravan from sinking. • Turn the rotating stanchions outward.
3.9 General inspection In accordance with Section 29 of German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations, your caravan must undergo a major inspection every two years. A general vehicle inspection can be carried out by an officially recognised expert (e.g. DEKRA Expert mobile home inspection). The following documents must be presented at each inspection: - motor vehicle registration certificate, Part I - valid certificate of inspection for gas facilities, documenting installation.
3.10 Fit for a Speed of 60 mph 1. Your HOBBY caravan is technically equipped for a maximum speed of 60 mph. Under no circumstances may this speed be exceeded! 2. Note the permissible maximum speeds for trailer carriages in the country in which you are travelling! 3. Road traffic regulations in Germany were changed on 22 October 2005. Your caravan was already set to a speed of 100 at the factory, and this has been entered in the caravan's registration documents.
5. Free interchangeability of base vehicle and caravan: Different caravans may be combined with different base vehicles. You are responsible for ensuring that the preceding regulations are met if you plan to drive at 100 km/h. 6. The correct drawbar load gives you more safety: Please refer to page 02-5 for the recommended drawbar load. 3.
4. Additional load The additional load is equal to the difference between the “technically permissible maximum weight” minus the “actual mass”. The remaining additional load must be high enough to cover all 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.
4. Wheels, tyres 4.1 Tyres Only use those tyres designated in the registration documents. Other tyre sizes may only be used with the permission of the manufacturer. • Check tyres regularly to ensure that the tread is worn down evenly; check tread depth; check for external damages. • Always use the same make and model of tyres (summer or winter tyres). • Drive carefully on new tyres for a stretch of approx. 100 km to enable them to develop a full road grip.
If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre can overheat. This can result in serious damage. The correct tyre pressure is given in the table on wheels/tyre pressure found under "Technical Information" or on the labels in the gas-bottle container and on the wheel cover. 4.3 Profile depth and age of tyres New tyres are needed (at the latest) when the profile depth measures 1.6 mm. Tyres age even when used rarely or not at all.
4.4 Rims Only use rims that are covered by the vehicle licence. Should you wish to use other rims, please note the following: Rules for the use of other rims: - Size, mechanisms, compression depth and the load/bearing capacity must be sufficient for the permissible total mass. - The chuck cone of the fastening screw must correspond to the rim mechanisms. Modifications can only be made with the manufacturer's permission.
4.5 Changing the tyre Preparing to change the tyre • If possible, only change the tyre when the base vehicle is coupled to the caravan. • Park the trailer carriage on as firm and even a surface as possible. • If you have tyre 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.
Spare Tyre for De Luxe, Excellent, Prestige, Premium and Landhaus* A spare tire is available as an optional extra for all of the models listed above. It can be mounted underneath the vehicle. To remove the spare tyre, the vehicle must be unhitched and placed on the coupling jaw in order to raise the rear end of the vehicle. Remove the spare tyre 1 • Unhitch the vehicle and raise it. • Loosen the thread locker j . • Unhook the spare tyre mount from the longitudinal beam k. • Carefully lower the mount.
The rotating stanchions may not be used as a jack*! After changing the tyre, the wheel screws must be examined (after a 50 km drive) to ensure that they are tight enough (tighten if necessary). Changing the wheel • Set the corresponding jack* onto the axle • • • • • • • • • • pipe of the swinging lever group or on the longitudinal beam in the area of the axle attachmentsof the wheel to be changed. On caravans with a double axle, always set the jack onto the rear axle; a hydraulic jack * is recommended.
Tyre repair kit* Do not use the tyre repair kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of driving without air. Small cuts, especially in the tyre tread, can be resealed using the tyre repair kit. Do not remove foreign objects (such as screws or nails) from the tyre. The tyre repair kit can be used as long as the outside temperature is approx. -30° C or higher. There is an expiry date on the tyre repair kit. Therefore, please note this date.
D Hold the bottle down with the filling tube and then press them together. Press the entire bottle contents into the tyre. Pull the fill hose off j and screw the valve insert k tightly into the tyre valve with the valve-core remover l. E Open the air hose n on the tyre valve. Insert the plug o into the cigar lighter socket. Then pump the tyres (Fig. p).
5. Exterior structure 5.1 Ventilation and De-aerating Rules for forced ventilation Proper ventilation and de-aerating of the vehicle is a prerequisite for ideal living comfort. A draft-free forced-ventilation system is located in the floor j and a forced de-aerating system is located in the ceiling k which should not be interfered with. 1 We recommend that you open the roof bonnets whenever you live in the caravan. 2 Cooking, wet clothing, etc., produces vapor.
Special cover plates should be used during winter operation. You can buy these cover plates from your dealer. We recommend that you remove the ventilation bars when outside temperatures are very high. This creates a high air circulation on the refrigera tor and increases cooling capacity. When raining or moving make sure the grill is escured. Removing the ventilation grids • Push the lock(s) l up as far as they will go. • Carefully lift open the ventilation grid on the left-hand side.
5.2 Entry door External entry door To open • Turn the key to the right until you hear the lock open • Turn the key back to an upright position and pull it out. • Pull on the door handle. • Open the door. To close • Close the door. • Turn the key to the left until you hear the latch click into place. • Turn the key back to an upright position and pull it out. To avoid damage, do not use the track for the insect screen as assistance when entering the caravan.
Stable entry door 1 3 The upper l and lower k parts of the entry door can be opened and closed separately by opening the door and then unlocking the upper part l of the door from the lower part. Unlocking the upper part of the door • Turn the lever m 90° to the left and place it in an upright position to separate the upper and lower parts of the door. • Open the upper part of the door completely and press it against the outer wall of the vehicle.
Pull the pleated (upper part of the door) and the insect screen on the entry door to the desired position. Entry step tread When entering and exiting the vehicle: • Place step tread in front of the entry door to the caravan. • Ensure that the step tread 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. 5.3 Service flap To open • Unlatch the lock with the key.
All of the fastenings on the service flap must lock into place when closing to ensure that the flap will always be closed tight. If the flap is not closed correctly, it could become permanently deformed, especially when the caravan stands unused for a longer period of time. Spray the sealing gaskets of the service flaps regularly with silicon to ensure that they will always move easily and operate reliably. 5.4 Gas-bottle container flap De Luxe easy To open 1 • Unlatch the lock j with the key.
5.5 Rear Storage Compartment Premium To open • Unlatch the lock j with the key. • Turn the handle down by 90° to a vertical position. • Slowly lift up the rear storage locker lid. To close • Close the rear storage locker lid and turn the handle by 90° to a horizontal position. • Latch the lock with the key to secure it. 1 If you load too much in the rear storage locker compartment, the vehicle will be considerably more difficult to handle; this endangers all road users.
5.7 Roof The following applies for the roof load • Use only standardised and licensed ladders that can be positioned firmly to climb onto the roof. • The roof has not been made for concentrated loads. Place a large-scale cover over the area you wish to step on before standing on the roof. Materials with a soft and smooth surface (such as a large piece of styrofoam) are suitable for this purpose.
The caravan has guide rails for skirting in the lower area of the superstructure. Always slide the skirting in from the middle of the vehicle towards the outer edges. The wheel cover has an integrated keder strip for sliding in the mudguard. Fastening for the outer tent Use the specially developed Hobby Vario Clip as a ridgepole bracket to securely attach an outer tent to the caravan. The clip can be attached without screws and has been specially adapted to the contour of the moulding.
5.9 Bicycle carrier* De Luxe easy* The handling of the caravan changes considerably when the bicycle carrier has been loaded. You should adjust your speed to take this into consideration: • Ensure that you make full use of the permitted towbar load when the bicycle carrier has been loaded and correct it accordingly. • Your critical speed will be dramatically reduced even if you have loaded the bicycle carrier optimally.
5.10 Roof awning* Appropriate adapters and fitting components are available for subsequent assembly of roof awnings. Please speak to your HOBBY dealer. The roof awning should always be assembled by an authorised specialist. The maximum permissible total width and total height may not be exceeded by installing an awning. Installing an awning may have a negative influence on the trailer/driving performance of the caravan.

Residual current device 2 The standard version of your vehicle is equipped with a residual current device that will interrupt the electric circuit in case of a possible residual current. This device is built into the clothes cupboard of every vehicle. Repairs must not be carried out on the residual current device. A residual current device does not guarantee any protection against the danger from an electric shock.
Operation via auxiliary battery (self-sufficient package) Charge controller in the clothes cupboard on the wall • Only accumulator batteries with bound electrolytes (gel or AGM batteries) may be installed in those positions specified by the manufacturer. • The installed battery may not be opened. • When changing auxiliary batteries, use only batteries of the same make and capacity.
An Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) has been connected to the battery terminal. It monitors the actual current and the actual voltage in a highly precise manner. It is possible to precisely predetermine the operating time of the battery based on the actual consumption. The IBS ensures that the battery will be changed in good time and assists in providing active energy management so that the performance requirements of the different electrical devices can be coordinated with the charging of the battery.

11-2
12. Maintenance and upkeep 12.1 Maintenance Maintenance intervals fixed maintenance intervals apply to the caravan and the devices installed in it. Rules for maintenance intervals • Have the first maintenance performed by a HOBBY dealer 12 months after the initial registration. • Havve all further maintenance performed once annually at a HOBBY dealer.
2 • Lightly grease the stationary parts on the case of the overrunning equipment k after every 5,000 kilometres of driving. IMPORTANT: The friction elements of the WS 3000 safety hitch may NEVER be oiled or greased. • Check from time to time to ensure that the bearing surfaces of the thrust rod are not jammed. • Clean and oil all movable and stationary parts regularly. The axle(s) of the caravan is (are) fitted with compact wheel bearings.
Tension ball coupler Keep the friction linings inside the tension ball coupler clean and free of grease (Fig. 5). When the friction linings are dirty, the surface can be cleaned with 200-240 grain sandpaper. Then clean with petroleum ether or spirit. All movable bearings and bolts are easy to grease. By regular upkeep and maintenance of your WS 3000, you increase its overall life span, function and safety. Changing the friction lining It is very easy to exchange the friction pads j when they are worn out.
12.3 Brakes Initial inspection The wheel brakes that have been installed are drum brakes that do not adjust automatically. (Exception: Premium) To ensure trouble-free brake performance, the wheel brakes must be adjusted regularly. The brakes must first be inspected after you have driven 500 km. Have them inspected again after every 10,000 km of driving, but at least once every year. Inspections must be documented in the KNOTT service manual by the authorised specialist who carries out the inspection.
12.4 Changing the taillight bulbs The following description for changing the rear light bulbs refers to the De Luxe easy model. Different rear lights are used in the Premium and Landhaus models. Unfortunately, it is not possible to replace these light bulbs easily. In this case, please speak to your dealer, who will be pleased to assist you in changing these light bulbs. Some of the rear lights in the Premium models are fitted with LED lights, whereby each individual light has a standardised alignment.
The following description for changing the rear light bulbs refers to the De Luxe, Excellent and Prestige models. • Remove the two screws j . 1 • Remove the rear light from the lighting beam. • Remove the bulb from the socket by turning it. Carry out this procedure in reverse order to install a new bulb and replace the rear light.
12.5 Ventilation Sufficient ventilation and de-aeration of the vehicle interior is essential to maintaining a comfortable 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. Ensure sufficient air circulation to prevent damage from the collection of sweat residue! 12.
Thoroughly dry the light sockets, because water collects there easily. Never use caustic cleaners or cleaners 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. Note the instructions for the high-pressure cleaner before washing the caravan with it. Keep a minimum distance of 700 mm between the caravan and the high-pressure nozzle.
It is not possible to avoid transmitting plasticizers when solvent-based contents come into contact with the aforementioned plastics and this causes the parts to become brittle. Rules for waxing the surfaces • Treat the paint surfaces periodically with wax. Note the guidelines for use from the wax manufacturer. Rules for polishing surfaces • In exceptional cases, treat damaged paint sur faces with polish. We recommend paste polishes free of solvents.
Chassis The chassis of the caravan has been specially coated. If the protective coating is damaged, repair it immediately. Coated areas should not be treated with spray oil. The combustion air intake duct for the heating system is located underneath the floor of the vehicle. Under no circumstances may liquid sprays, underbody protection or similar products be allowed to interfere with it. Should salt adhere to the hot-dip galvanised chassis, it will damage it and may cause white rust.
Cleaning the interior To reduce problems arising from dampness, use water sparingly when cleaning inside. Rules for cleaning seat covers, upholstery covers and curtains • Clean seat covers with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. • Have heavily soiled upholstery covers, bedspreads and curtains dry cleaned; do not wash them yourself! • Clean with the foam of a gentle detergent if required. Cleaning instructions for materials that contain Teflon • Always treat spots immediately.
Method B: • Use only mild, water-free solvents for dry cleaning. • Dampen the cloth and proceed as described in method A. This method is particularly suitable for removing: - wax, candles - pencil Chocolate or coffee should only be washed out with luke-warm water. Rules for cleaning the carpet • Clean with a vacuum cleaner or brush. • If necessary, treat or shampoo with carpet foam. Rules for cleaning PVC surfaces Sand and dust can damage the surface of a PVC surface that is walked on regularly.
Rules for cleaning the toilet area • Clean with neutral liquid soap and a nonscouring cloth. • Do not use a vinegar concentrate to clean the toilet and the water system or to decalcify the water system. Vinegar concentrate can damage gaskets or parts of the system. • The rubber seals of the toilet should be cleaned regularly with plain water and a lubricant for seals (not Vaseline or any other vegetable fats) should be applied.
Remove all spray cans with cleaners and polishes from the vehicle after finishing the upkeep! Otherwise, there is a danger of explosion at temperatures over 50° C! 12.7 Winter Lay Up for the Caravan For many people, the camping season ends when the temperature starts to fall. Your caravan must be properly prepared for its winter lay up. The following general rules apply: • Only leave your caravan in a closed space if it is dry and well-aired. Otherwise, it is better to leave your caravan in the open.
Wash the vehicle only in special places provided for this purpose. Use cleaning materials sparingly. Aggressive cleansers, such as wheel rim cleaners, damage the environment. The following applies for tanks and containers: • Clean, disinfect, descale and completely empty all water pipes and faucets. Leave faucets open. • Clean the fresh water tank and empty it by unscrewing the overflow pipe. • Clean and empty the waste water tank. • Clean and empty the toilet flushing tank and the excrement tank.
12.8 Winter Operation Your caravan has been designed to allow you to use it in winter. Please also refer to the information given by the manufacturers of built-in devices regarding winter. With regard to camping in winter, we recommend that you optimize your caravan to meet your personal requirements. Your Hobby dealer will be pleased to advise you.
The following applies for ventilation: During operation in winter, condensation is caused when using the caravan in low temperatures. Sufficient ventilation is extremely important to ensure that the quality of the air inside the caravan is good and to avoid damages to the vehicle caused by condensation. • Do not shut vents for forced ventilation. • Set the heating to maximum power when heating up the caravan. Open stowage spaces, cupboards, drawers, furniture flaps, curtains, shades and plissés.

13. Waste disposal and environmental protection 13.1 The environment and mobile travel Environmentally sound use By nature of their activities, caravan users bear a considerable responsibility towards the environment. Therefore, you should always use your caravan in an environmentally sound manner. Rules for environmentally sound use • Do not interfere with the quietude and cleanli ness of nature. • Dispose of waste water, faeces and trash properly.
Rules for the disposal of faeces • Only add approved cleaners to the faeces tank. The use of other cleaners can be avoided by the installation of an active charcoal filter system. Apply cleaning fluid very sparingly. Excessive application does not guarantee the prevention of odour build-up! Disposal • Never allow the faeces tank to become too full. Empty the tank immediately, at the latest when the fill indicator lights up.
14. Technical data 14.1 Tyre pressure values As a rule of thumb, it may be assumed that a filled tyre suffers a loss of pressure of 0.1 bar every two months.
