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. These operating instructions also describe equipment which may vary from the standard scope of delivery. 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.
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 • The individual manufacturer's operating and instruction manual(s) must be observed when using built-in devices (refrigerator, heating system, cooker, etc.). • The measurements, weight and driving performance of the camper may change if accessories or optional extras have been installed. Some of the fitting components must be entered in the registration document. • Use only tyres and rims that have been approved for your camper.
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. 2.3 Emergency equipment To be prepared in case of an emergency, you should always carry the three emergency devices on board and familiarize yourself with them.
2.4 Before the journey 2.4.1 What to observe before your first drive Vehicle registration Every vehicle which uses public roads is subject to registration. This includes your new caravan. You can register the caravan at your local registration office.
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 03-3 for the recommended drawbar load. • Bei der ersten Fahrt Radmuttern nach 50 km nachziehen. 2.4.
• Release the handbrake for the caravan and • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • place the contact-breaking cable around the ball neck of the permanently attached tow coupling. If the tow coupling is detachable, the contact-breaking cable must be hooked into the eyelet provided on towing bracket the for that purpose. Plug the 13-channel plug in the socket of the base vehicle. Turn the winding stanchions and the front landing wheel upward and secure them.
• Shut off all interior lighting. • Ensure that all fluids, including those in refrig• • • • • • • • erator, are secured to prevent leakage. Close main valve on gas container and quickclose valves on all gas-powered appliances. Close all doors (incl. refrigerator door), drawers and flaps tightly. Lock the central lock on the kitchen drawers. Latch the sliding door. Lower table and secure it. Secure the TV mount. If necessary, dismantle the TV and store it securely.
2.5 While driving 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 the wheel chocks to secure the wheels. They are located in the bottle container.
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 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.
Premium, De Luxe, Excellent, Prestige, OnTour: The name plate is located in the gas locker box, above the bottle holder. Landhaus: The name plate is located in the lower front area on the right-hand side wall. Premium, De Luxe, Excellent, Prestige, OnTour Landhaus 3.3 Loading 3.3.1 General information Do not remove or change the name plate. Rules for loading: • Spread the load evenly between the left and • • • • • • • • right-hand side of the caravan.
Overloading can cause the tyres to break down or even burst! This increases the danger that you may lose control of the vehicle. Therefore, you endanger yourself and other road users. Do not store additional loads of more than 30 kg in the rear storage locker compartment (Premium). The lower the caravan's centre of gravity, the better its driving performance and response in curves. Stowage areas in the caravan - Light objects j such as towels and lightweight laundry.
• The specified drawbar load (see handbook or type plate) and the permissible overall mass of the base vehicle and the caravan may not be exceeded! How to adjust the correct drawbar load: 1. Determine the maximum drawbar load of your base vehicle by checking its documentation, the type plate or the drawbar plate. 2. Your HOBBY caravan has a maximum permissible drawbar load of 100 kg (up to 2,000 kg technically permissible maximum weight) or 150 kg (from 2,200 kg technically permissible maximum weight). 3.

3.4 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.
3.7 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). 3.8 Rotating stanchions In these models, the hexagon head on which to place the crank is located in the rear of the camper above the opening in the lighting beam. The rotating stanchions are located in the front and rear under the caravan. De Luxe/Excellent/Prestige/Premium 1 Turning the rotating stanchions outward • Park the vehicle as horizontally as possible.
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.

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 Opening and closing doors and flaps 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) External entry door To open • Turn the key to the left 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.

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.

8. Water 8.1 General information We recommend that you inspect any water you have left in the tank, this is very critical before using the water again. • Water that is suitable for drinking should always be used with working with food. This also applies to washing your hands and cleaning the objects that have come into contact with food. • To ensure that the quality of the water is faultless, the water should be taken directly from the public drinking water system.
Rules for the immersion pump • The immersion pump is only suitable for water. • The immersion pump tolerates temperatures up to 60° C for a short time. • Avoid dry runs. • Protect the pump from freezing. • Hard blows or hits as well as very dirty water can destroy the pump. The immersion pump requires no maintenance. The immersion pump switches itself on automatically when the water taps are opened. 8.
Filling the water system • • • • • • • 5 • • • • • Place the caravan in a horizontal position. Shut all of the water taps. Switch on the main switch on the control panel. Shut the outlet valves on the therme. Unlock the petrol cap n and turn it counterclockwise to open it. Fill the water tank using the fresh water filler neck. Turn all of the water taps to „hot“ and open them. The water pump will be switched on. Leave the water taps open until the water flows out of the taps without any bubbles.
Rules for the therme • Use the control panel to switch off this equipment whenever the caravan is not in use. • Empty the therme at the risk of frost. Frozen water can cause the therme to burst! • A depressuriser must be used if the pump is connected to a central water supply, or on stronger pumps. The pressure in the therme may not exceed 1.2 bar. In addition, a safety valve or runoff valve must be used in the cold water tap. Never operate the therme electrically when it is empty.
If the vehicle is not being used and there is a danger of sub-zero temperatures be sure to drain the entire water system. Leave taps turn on in the middle position. Leave all drain valves open. Only empty your waste water tank at the specially designated disposal points and never in open spaces! As a rule disposal points can be found at motorway service stations; campsites and petrol stations.
Empty the waste water tank if there is danger of frost. Never pour boiling water into the sink drain. This can lead to deformities and leakages in the waste water system. City water supply* The city water supply allows you to attach the camper to a permanent water system. • Connect the water hose (observing drinking water regulations) with the help of a Gardena connector to the city water supply j . The fresh water tank will be filled with water.

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 passengers, - by carrying in damp clothing, - Operating the gas cooker and oven*. Ensure sufficient air circulation to prevent damage from the collection of sweat residue! 12.
Direct contact with plastics such as PVC, soft PVC and similar products (e.g. stickers) must be avoided at all cost. 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. Cleaning the exterior The vehicle should not be washed more often than necessary. Rules for cleaning the exterior • Rinse the vehicle with a light stream of water.
The spray from the high-pressure cleaner must never be pointed directly at the cracks of the doors or windows, acrylic windows, ventilation grills in the refrigerator, service flaps, waste gas flues or skylights. This may damage the vehicle or water could get inside the vehicle. Rules for waxing the surfaces • Treat the paint surfaces periodically with wax. Note the guidelines for use from the wax manufacturer.
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.
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. • Cover the safety coupling. Grease the brake linkage and winding stanchions. • Jack up the caravan if possible.
• Clean and empty the toilet flushing tank and the excrement tank. Clean the toilet valve, apply a lubricant for seals and leave it open. • Completely empty the therme/boiler. • If your caravan is equipped with a hot-water heater: rinse the water heater thoroughly and empty all of the water. The following applies for the interior fittings: • Clean the interior of your caravan. Hoover carpets, cushions and mattresses. If possible, store them outside the caravan.
Please also refer to the information given by the manufacturers of built-in devices regarding winter. 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.
• The caravan 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 caravan and keep the dirt out. The following applies for containers: • If the interior is sufficiently heated, the fresh water tank, water pipes and therme/boiler should not freeze.
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 • If you plan to stay longer in cities and municipalities, please park in an area that is specifically marked for trailer combinations.
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.
