1. Introduction 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 Intended use This camper has been designed as a mobile travel accommodation for private, not commercial use. It is not intended for permanent residence. Furthermore, no more than the number of people for which this camper has been planned may spend the night in the vehicle. When the camper is on the road, it may only be used in accordance with road traffic regulations and national vehicle safety standards.
2. Safety • Place a fire cover near the gas cooker. • Keep all escape routes clear. • Ensure that everyone is familiar with the fire prevention measures on site. 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. Safety 2.4 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. First-aid kit The first aid kit should always be kept handy. It should have a fixed place in the base vehicle/camper. Any objects removed from the first-aid kit should be replaced immediately. Expiry dates should be checked regularly.
2. Safety 2.5 Before the journey 2.5.1 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.
2. Safety 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! "100" speed sticker 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.
2. Safety 2.5.2 Before each drive Road safety • Before driving, check that the signalling and lighting systems and brakes function correctly. • If the vehicle has been standing for a longer period of time (approx. 10 months) have an authorised workshop check the brake system and the accelerator system. (see also Chapter 14.5) • In winter, the roof must be cleared of snow and ice before driving. • Regularly check the tyre pressure before driving.
2. Safety Interior You must also prepare the interior of the vehicle Preparing the interior: • Sort all loose objects and store them in their respective com- partments. • Store heavy and / or voluminous objects (e.g. radio, outer tent, beverage cases) safely before you start your journey, securing them to prevent them from shifting. • If necessary, redirect refrigerator to 12-volt operation. • Shut off all interior lighting.
2. Safety 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 caravan can sheer out of line over the rear. Brakes A trailer carriage behaves differently from an individual vehicle while braking. Therefore, it is advis-able (especially for inexperienced drivers) to conduct several braking tests on a suitable surface.
2. Safety 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. Front manoeuvring handle 2.
2. Safety Redirecting electrical devices Rules for redirecting electrical devices • Open the main shut-off valve on the gas bottle as well as the shut-off valves on the gas-powered appliances you require. • Redirect the refrigerator from 12 V to gas or 230 V.
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! Technical changes are possible only with the manufacturer released . 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.
3. Chassis 3.3 Loading 3.3.1 General information 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). • Store baggage in the interior in cupboards and storage com partments.
3. Chassis 3.3.2 Drawbar load You will only achieve optimum driving stability and decisively increase your safety on the road if the drawbar load has been properly adjusted for your combination of base vehicle and the caravan being pulled. The drawbar load indicates the power the caravan's drawbar exerts on the car's clutch.
3.
3. Chassis If the vehicle does not hold the equipment and liquids set out in the table in Item 2 (mass when ready to drive), the loading capacity/additional load (Item 5) can be increased by this value. 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.
3. Chassis 4 Inspection of hitch • The ball coupling is closed when the lever rests in positi on or and the green pin of the hitching display is visible. k l m If the WS 3000 is not properly attached to the coupling ball, the caravan can detach from the base vehicle. It must not be possible to release the ball coupling from the coupling ball when the front landing wheel is lowered.
3. Chassis 3.5 Front landing wheel Rotating it upwards and securing it 4 2 • Hitch the caravan to the base vehicle, aligning the front landing wheel to the rear end of the caravan. • Loosen the tommy screw . • Pull the spindle tube up as far as possible. • Tighten the tommy screw . • Turn the crank of the front landing wheel clockwise to raise the wheel as far as possible and secure it to prevent it from twisting.
3. Chassis Rapid-emergency brake The rapid-emergency brake is combined with the hand brake. If the caravan is involuntarily disconnected from the base vehicle, the hand brake will be tightened or moved beyond the dead centre position by the traction force of the rapid-emergency brake . The hand brake will be employed and the caravan will do an emergency brake. This prevents the caravan from continuing to roll without braking after it has been disconnected.
3. Chassis Wheel brakes The following information regarding brake adjustment applies for all models with the exception of Premium vehicles. The wheel brakes that have been used are drum brakes that do not automatically adjust. They have an automatic reverse that is sensitive to the course you drive. The linings of the wheel brakes are wear and tear parts; therefore, they must be checked every 5,000 km or at least once every year.
3. Chassis 3.8 Rotating stanchions 1 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. Hexagon head for front rotating stanchions in the De Luxe (Edition)/Excellent/Prestige/ Premium models 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.
4. Wheels, tyres 4.3 Profile depth and age of tyres New tyres are needed (at the latest) when the profile depth measures 1.6 mm. The minimum tread depth only guarantees minimum safety while driving! Tyres age even when used rarely or not at all. Tyre manufacturers' recommendation • Change tyres after six years, regardless of profile depth. • Avoid striking curbs, potholes or other obstacles.
