sant with your vehicle and will be pleased to help in any way they can. Our list of HYMER service centres in
Europe is updated regularly. You can obtain a copy of the latest edition from our customer service department
or from your HYMER dealer.
This instruction manual also includes the warranty certificate for your vehicle. You will be receiving the warranty
stamp shortly. Please paste this stamp into the field provided. To maintain the HYMER weatherproof guar-
antee against water ingress, your vehicle must be inspected for a fee by an authorised HYMER dealer or an
authorised specialist workshop once a year. A confirmation stamp will be stuck into this manual for each
inspection. We also recommend a general inspection of the conversion at yearly intervals.
In addition to this instruction manual you will also receive the instruction manuals for the various built-in appli-
ances.

Water ingress test

For the water ingress test your HYMER contract partner checks the complete
construction of your vehicle at all composite locations, windows, skylights,
service flaps and doors for tightness.

Important The performance and the exact adherence to the intervals is decisive for the
continuation of the 6 year weatherproof guarantee. The water ingress test
must be carried out on an annual basis. The interval may be carried out max.
six months before or six months after the date on which the test is due. For
additional information concerning the 6 year weatherproof guarantee, please
refer to the following text. Also your HYMER contract partner will be pleased
to advise you.

Conditions for the HYMER 6 year weatherproof

guarantee
The vehicle vendor gives guarantee for the following:
1. Scope of guarantee
Under certain prerequisites, the vendor guarantees that
z the necessary prerequisites according to Point 2 are available
z and the buyer has had all impermeability inspections carried out acc. to
Point 3 continuously and on time,
that for the vehicle, for a period of six years, for motorhomes, up to a max-
imum of 100,000 km, with normal use, no rain water will penetrate the body
manufactured by HYMER AG through the connections, bored holes, and
joints in the floor, wheel housing, side wall, front wall, rear wall and roof,
including alcoves.

2. Prerequisites of the guarantee

The guarantee presupposes
z that the vehicle area that is leaking is in the original condition or, if work
has been carried out on it, then such jobs have been performed exclu-
sively by the vendor or by an authorised HYMER AG dealer or service
centre;
z that there was no improper handling or overload;
z that the vehicle was not exposed to environmental pollution which
exceeds that which is normal and permissible,
z that the HYMER AG care instructions and the operating instructions
were adhered to;
z that the purchaser immediately handed over the vehicle for remedy of a
detected fault to the vendor or to an authorised HYMER AG dealer or
service centre.
The individual prerequisites will not be considered if they are not the cause
or contributory cause for the leakage. Prerequisite for the enforcement of
the guarantee is that the purchaser reported any leakage detected in the
vehicle or any evidence of dampness indicating this leakage to the vendor
latest 14 days after detection and made available the vehicle for repair, as
far as long this was not unreasonable.

 Guarantee

3. Annual inspection
The purchaser shall send the vehicle regularly, every year, to the vendor or
to an authorised HYMER AG dealer or service centre for inspection. The
purchaser shall bear the cost of the inspection. The first inspection
must be conducted within the first year after delivery of the vehicle to the
purchaser, however, latest within the first year from the date of initial regis-
tration of the vehicle. The subsequent annual inspections must be con-
ducted by the calendar, corresponding to the latest date for the first
inspection.
If the inspection is carried out six months after expiry of the period at
the latest, then the right to claim under the guarantee remains in
force, otherwise it is invalid. The time for the next inspection shall not be
postponed by a delayed inspection. The inspections are to be proven by
means of the guarantee stamps pasted into the guarantee booklet, with the
date, stamp and signature from the workshops.

4. Guarantee period
The guarantee period commences with the delivery of the vehicle to the
purchaser, on the date of the initial registration at the latest. It terminates
prematurely when the vehicle is written off or it's capability of use ceases
to exist for other reasons. Work carried out on the vehicle which does not
fall under this guarantee do not extend the guarantee period.

5. Guarantees
Any leakage covered by the guarantee will be remedied by the vendor.
Should the remedy not succeed and the party covered by the guarantee
cannot be reasonably expected to accept additional guarantees provided
by the vendor, then the party covered by the guarantee can have the
leakage remedied by HYMER AG, at the expense of the vendor. No further
claims apply.
The vendor is not required to remedy the leakage when the vehicle is
written off or it's capability of use ceases to exist for other reasons as well
as when the costs for the guarantee work exceed the value of the vehicle
at that time.
A change of ownership has no effect on this guarantee.

6. Other claims
Claims made by the purchaser especially with respect to any performance,
damage claims or warranty and guarantee claims made against the vendor
or claims resulting from product liability are not affected by this guarantee.
As far as the purchaser's duty of disclosure are required as part of this
agreement, they refer exclusively to any claims from this guarantee.

7. Statute of limitations
The claims with respect to the remedying of a leakage falls under the
statute of limitations 6 months after discovery of the leakage or dampness
indicating this leakage, upon expiry of the guarantee period at the latest.

Inspection
After each service, the inspection plan provides you with supplementary and
detailed information concerning the work which has been specifically carried
out on your vehicle. You receive the inspection checklist when you collect your
vehicle from your HYMER contract partner. Should it be determined during an
inspection that additional work is necessary, then the carrying out of this work

1.2 Environmental tips

Z Be considerate of the environment.
Z Remember that: All kinds of waste water and household waste are not to
be disposed of in drains or in the open countryside.
Z On board, collect waste water only in the waste water tank or – if
necessary – in other containers designed for that purpose.
Z Only empty the waste water tank and sewage tank at disposal stations,
camping sites or caravan sites especially provided for this purpose. When
stopping in towns and communities, observe the instructions at caravan
sites or ask where there are disposal stations.
Z Empty waste water tank as often as possible, even when it is not com-
pletely full (hygiene).
If possible, flush out waste water tank and, if necessary, drainage pipe with
fresh water every time it is emptied.
Z Never allow the sewage tank to become too full. Empty the sewage tank
frequently, at the latest as soon as the filling level display lights up.
Z Separate household waste according to glass, tin cans, plastic and wet
waste also when on a journey. Enquire at the town or community authority
about disposal points. Household waste is not to be disposed of in waste
paper baskets which are situated at car parks.
Z Empty waste bins as often as possible into the containers provided for this
purpose. This helps to avoid unpleasant smells and an accumulation of
rubbish on board.

Z When parked, do not allow the engine of the towing vehicle to run more
than necessary. When running idle, a cold engine releases more contami-
nants than usual. The running temperature of the engine is achieved more
quickly whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Z Use an environmentally-friendly WC chemical agent for the WC which can
also be biologically degraded and only use small doses.
Z When staying in towns and communities for long periods, search for
parking areas which are specially reserved for caravans and towing vehi-
cles. Enquire at the town or community authority about parking spaces.
Z Always leave the parking places in a clean condition.

2 Safety

z Minimum diameter of clearance = 450 mm

z Maximum distance from the vehicle floor = 950 mm

2.2 General
X The oxygen in the vehicle interior is used up by breathing and the use of
gas operated appliances. That is why the oxygen needs to be replaced
on a constant basis. For this purpose, forced ventilation options (e.g.
skylights with forced ventilation, mushroom-shaped vents or floor vents)
are fitted to the vehicle. Never cover or block forced ventilations from the
inside or outside with objects such as e.g. a winter mat. Keep forced ven-
tilations clear of snow and leaves. When staying in the vehicle, open the
lifting roof. There is a danger of suffocation due to increased CO2 levels.
X Observe the headroom of the doors.

Z As far as the appliances (heater, cooker, refrigerator, etc.) are concerned,

the instruction manuals are authoritative. It is imperative that they be
observed.
Z Fitting accessories or special equipment can alter the dimensions, weight
and road behaviour of the vehicle. Some of the parts must be entered in
the vehicle papers.
Z Only use wheel rims and tyres which are approved for the vehicle. Informa-
tion concerning the size of the approved wheel rims and tyres is included
in the vehicle documents or can be obtained from authorised dealers and
service centres.
Z Firmly apply the handbrake when parking the vehicle.

Z When leaving the vehicle, it is imperative that all doors, external flaps and
windows are closed.
Z The vehicle may only be driven by drivers who hold a driving licence which
is valid for the respective vehicle class.
Z When selling the vehicle, hand over all instruction manuals for the vehicle
and the fitted appliances.

2.3 Road safety

X Before commencing the journey, carry out a functional check of indi-
cating and lighting equipment and the brakes.
X If the vehicle has been stationary for a long period (approx. 10 months)
have the braking and gas systems checked by an authorised specialist
workshop.
X Before commencing the journey and after short interruptions of the
journey, ensure that the entrance step is completely retracted.
X During the journey, no persons are to travel inside the caravan.
X When driving through underpasses, tunnels, etc. observe the overall
height of the vehicle (refer to the technical data in the vehicle docu-
ments).
X In winter, the roof must be free of snow and ice before commencing the
journey.

22 Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN

 Safety 2

X Before commencing the journey, empty the waste water tank.

X Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.

Z Before commencing the journey, distribute the payload evenly within the
vehicle (see chapter 3).
Z When loading the vehicle and when taking a rest from driving, in order to
load luggage or food, for example, observe the maximum permissible
gross weight and axle loads (refer to vehicle documents).
Z Do not exceed the maximum permissible nose weight on the caravan cou-
pling and do not let the weight fall below the minimum nose value. Load the
caravan accordingly.
Z While driving with your caravan, the towing vehicle must be equipped with
two external mirrors.
Z Before commencing the journey, ensure that all cupboard doors, the toilet
compartment door and all drawers and flaps are secure. Engage the refrig-
erator door securing device.
Z Before commencing the journey, convert the tables into a bed foundation
or fasten them in the holder.
Z Before commencing the journey, close windows and skylights.
Z Before commencing the journey, close and lock the lifting roof.
Z Before commencing the journey, close all external flaps and lock them.
Z Before commencing the journey, remove the external supports and retract
the corner steadies or steady legs, which are fitted to the vehicle.
Z Before commencing the journey, crank the jockey wheel up as far as pos-
sible.
Z During the initial journey and each time after changing a wheel, re-tighten
the wheel bolts/wheel nuts after 50 km (30 miles). Subsequently inspect
them at regular intervals in order to ensure that they are firmly seated. See
chapter 13 for tightening torque.
Z Tyres may not be older than 6 years as the material becomes brittle over
time (see chapter 13).

2.4 Towing
X Care is to be taken when connecting and detaching a trailer. Risk of acci-
dent and injury!
X No persons are to be between the towing vehicle and the trailer during
positioning for connecting and detaching.

2 Safety

2.5 Gas system

2.5.1 General instructions
X Before commencing the journey, when leaving the vehicle or when gas
equipment is not in use, close all gas isolator taps and the main isolator
tap on the gas bottle.
X No appliance operated by a naked flame (e.g. heater or refrigerator) may
be in operation when filling the tank, on ferries or in the garage. Danger
of explosion!
X Do not use appliances operated with a naked flame in closed spaces
(e.g. garages). Danger of poisoning and suffocation!
X Only have the gas system maintained, repaired or altered by an author-
ised specialist workshop.
X Have the gas system checked by an authorised specialist workshop
according to the national regulations before commissioning. This also
applies for not registered vehicles. For modifications to the gas system
have the gas system immediately checked by an authorised specialist
workshop.
X The gas pressure regulator and exhaust gas pipes must also be
inspected. The gas pressure regulator has to be replaced after 10 years
at the latest. The vehicle owner is responsible for seeing that this is car-
ried out.
X In case of a defect of the gas system (gas odour, high gas consumption)
there is danger of explosion! Close regulator tap on the gas bottle imme-
diately. Open doors and windows and ventilate well.
X If the gas system is defective: Do not smoke; do not ignite any open
flames, and do not operate electric switches (light switches etc.).
X Open the lifting roof before taking open sources of combustion (gas
cooker) into service.
X Do not use the gas cooker or gas oven for heating purposes.
X If the vehicle or gas devices are not used, close the regulator tap on the
gas bottle.
X If there are several gas devices, each gas device must have its own gas
isolator tap. If individual gas devices are not in use, close the respective
gas isolator tap.
X Ignition safety valves must close within 1 minute after the gas flame has
extinguished. A clicking sound is audible. Check function from time to
time.
X The built-in gas devices are exclusively meant for use with propane or
butane gas or a mixture of both. The gas pressure regulator as well as
all built-in gas devices are designed for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.
X Propane gas is capable of gasification up to -42 °C, whereas butane gas
gasifies at 0 °C. Below these temperatures no gas pressure is available.
Butane gas is unsuitable for use in winter.
X Regularly inspect the gas tube fitted to the gas bottle connection for
tightness. The gas tube must not have any tears and must not be
porous. Have the gas tube replaced by an authorised specialist work-
shop no later than ten years after the manufacturing date. The operator
of the gas system must see to it that the parts are replaced.

24 Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN

 Safety 2

X Due to its function and construction, the gas bottle compartment is a

space which is open to the exterior. Never cover or block up the standard
forced ventilations. Otherwise gas that is emitted can not be diverted to
the outside.
X Do not use the gas bottle compartment as storage space as it is not
moisture-proof.
X Secure the gas bottle compartment against unauthorised access. To do
this, lock the compartment.
X The regulator tap on the gas bottle must be accessible.
X Only connect gas-operated devices (e.g. gas grill) which have been
designed for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.
X The exhaust gas pipe must be fitted tightly to the heating system and to
the vent and must be sealed. The exhaust gas pipe must not show any
evidence of damage.
X Exhaust fumes must be able to escape into the atmosphere unhindered
and fresh air must be able to enter unhindered. For this reason, keep the
exhaust pipe and intake openings clean and unobstructed (e.g. free from
snow and ice). For this reason, no snow walls or aprons may lie against
the vehicle.

2.5.2 Gas bottles

X Gas bottles are only to be transported within the designated gas bottle
compartment.
X Place the gas bottles in vertical position in the gas bottle compartment.
X Fasten the gas bottles so that they are unable to turn or tilt.
X If the gas bottles are not connected to the gas tube, always place the
protective cap on top.
X Close the regulator tap on the gas bottle before the gas pressure regu-
lator or gas tube are removed from the gas bottle.
X The gas pressure regulator or the gas tube must only be secured with a
suitable gas spanner (Do not overtighten).
X Only use special gas pressure regulators with a safety valve designed
for vehicle use. Other gas pressure regulators are not permitted and
cannot meet the demanding requirements.
X Use the gas pressure regulator defroster if the temperature falls below
5 °C.
X The designated gas bottle compartment will accommodate two gas bot-
tles, i. e. Calor Gas Butane/Propane or Camping Gaz. All gas bottles
must be fitted with the appropriate regulator.
X Use the shortest possible tube lengths (150 cm max.) for external gas
bottles.
X Never block the floor ventilation openings below the gas bottles.

Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN 25

2 Safety

2.6 Electrical system

X Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.
X Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, switch off all devices
and lights, disconnect the battery and disconnect the vehicle from the
mains.
X Only use original fuses with the stipulated values.
X Only replace defective fuses when the cause of the defect is known and
has been remedied.
X Never bridge or repair fuses.

2.7 Water system

X Water left standing in the water canister, in the water tank or in the water
pipes becomes undrinkable after a short period. Therefore, before each
use of the vehicle, thoroughly clean the water pipes and the water can-
ister or the water tank. After each use of the vehicle completely empty
the water canister or the water tank and the water pipes.
X In the case of lay-ups lasting more than a week disinfect the water
system before using the vehicle.

Z If the vehicle is not used for several days or if it is not heated when there is
a risk of frost, empty the entire water system. Leave the water taps on in
central position. Leave the safety/drainage valve (if there is one) and all
drain cocks open. Frost damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehicle
and deposits in water-carrying components can be avoided in this way.

 Before the journey 3

Chapter overview
3Before the journey

This chapter contains important information which has to be noted before com-
mencing your journey or carrying out any tasks before the journey.
The instructions address the following topics:
z initial start-up
z connecting and detaching to the towing vehicle
z caravan coupling
z calculating the payload
z correct loading of the caravan
At the end of the chapter there is a checklist which once again summarises the
most important points.

3.1 Start-up
Z During the initial journey and each time after changing a wheel, re-tighten
the wheel bolts/wheel nuts after 50 km (30 miles). Subsequently inspect
them at regular intervals in order to ensure that they are firmly seated. See
chapter 13 for tightening torque.

Z Check whether the road light system of the towing vehicle corresponds to
that of the caravan (see chapter 8), and whether a nominal voltage of 12 V
is provided by the towing vehicle.

The caravan is supplied with a set of keys.

Always deposit a replacement key outside the vehicle. Make a note of the key
number. Our authorised dealers and workshops can offer assistance in case
of loss.
Further information in chapter 12.

3.2 Connecting
X Care is to be taken when connecting and detaching a trailer. Risk of acci-
dent and injury!
X No persons are to be between the towing vehicle and the trailer during
positioning for connecting and detaching.
X Observe the permissible nose weight and rear axle load of the towing
vehicle. Nose weight and rear axle load must not be exceeded. The
values of the nose weight and rear axle load are included in the docu-
ments of the vehicle and the caravan coupling.
X Ensure that the interior of the coupling is not soiled and that the movable
parts of the coupling (not the ball retainer) are lubricated.
X The tow ball is not to be lubricated when using a stabiliser. The friction
pads are pressed against the coupling ball and thereby generate an anti-
rolling moment. This anti-rolling effect is only guaranteed when the
towing vehicle coupling head is free of lubricant and other residues.
When lubricating the stabiliser ensure that no lubricant is on the friction
pads.

Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN 27

3 Before the journey

Z Caravan with an overrun brake: Do not connect or detach caravan with the
overrun brake on.
Z Caravan coupling with detachable ball neck: If the ball neck is mounted
incorrectly, there is the danger of the trailer breaking away. Observe the
instruction manual for the caravan coupling.
Z In order to connect the vehicle, crank the supporting jockey wheel down
and set it down on the ground.
Z Do not use the stabilising lever of the stabiliser as a maneuvering aid.

Z Check whether the caravan's connector plug fits into the socket of the
towing vehicle. If connector plug and socket do not match, ask your author-
ised dealers and workshops for adapting options.
Z Further information about the stabiliser can be obtained in the manufac-
turer's instruction manual.

Connecting: „ Connect the caravan (see section 3.3). The coupling jaw and the ball must
interlock and are not to be loosely superposed. The coupling jaw must
completely surround the ball.
„ Connect the breakaway brake cable with a loop to a suitable anchorage
point on the vehicle, do not attach to the tow ball. Thereby, observe the
cable length: The cable must not trail on the ground or trigger the braking
function around corners.
„ Crank the jockey wheel up as far as possible. Adjust the running role in par-
allel to the direction of travel and to the draw box.
„ Insert the connector plug of the caravan in the socket of the towing vehicle.
Ensure that the hooks of the safety cover engage with the plug. The hooks
prevent the plug from becoming loose during the journey.
„ Put the connection cable in a loose loop across the drawbar. Make sure
that it does not touch the ground.
„ Check whether the caravan coupling is mounted correctly on the coupling
ball. Pay attention to the safety indicator.
„ Check whether corner steadies and jockey wheel are raised.
„ Check the caravan lighting system whilst the towing vehicle is connected.

3.3 Caravan couplings

Z Before connecting, ensure that the tow ball of the coupling device is free of
dirt and grease.

3.5 Payload
X Overloading the vehicle and wrong tyre pressure can cause tyres to
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
X Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-to-
drive condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the
vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have
your loaded vehicle (with all luggage and personal objects) weighed on
a public weighbridge before you set out on your journey.

Z Do not exceed the maximum permissible gross weight stated in the vehicle
documents by the payload.
Z Built-in accessories and special equipment reduce the payload.
Z Adhere to the axle load stated in the vehicle documents.

Load the caravan so that the drawbar coupling head is not pushed downwards
due to the permissible nose weight. Heavy objects should be close to the axles
and a weight centre should be in the centre of the vehicle.
When loading the caravan observe:
z The permissible maximum caravan load
z The maximum permissible nose weight (e.g. 50 kg)
z The minimum nose weight in accordance with national regulations

This information is in the towing vehicle instruction manual.

3.5.1 Terms
Z Technically speaking, the term "mass" has now replaced the term "weight".
However, "weight" is still the term more frequent in common use. For better
understanding, "mass" is therefore only used in the following sections for
fixed formulations.
Z All specifications according to EU norm DIN EN 1645-2.

Maximum permissible The maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition is the weight that
gross weight in a laden a vehicle may never exceed.
condition The maximum permissible overall weight in laden condition consists of the
mass in ready-to-drive condition and of the payload.
In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer has specified the maximum per-
missible gross weight in a laden condition.

Permitted mass The permitted mass is the weight specified by the manufacturer for issuing the
type approval. The permitted mass must never exceed the maximum permis-
sible gross weight of the loaded vehicle.

Mass in ready-to-drive The mass in ready-to-drive condition is the weight of the ready-to-drive
condition standard vehicle.
The mass in ready-to-drive condition is made up as follows:
z Unladen weight (mass of the empty vehicle) with factory-installed standard
equipment, including a water system filled to 100 % (water tank and pipes)
and gas bottles filled to 100 %
z Basic equipment weight

Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN 31

3 Before the journey

Basic equipment includes all equipment and fluids required for safe and proper
vehicle use. The weight of the basic equipment includes:
z A full heating system
z The power cables for the 240 V power supply
z The installation kit for an auxiliary battery if an auxiliary battery can be used

The waste water and sewage tanks are empty.

Example for calculating Boiler with 10 l + 10 kg

the basic equipment 240 V power cable + 4 kg

Installation kit for auxiliary battery + 20 kg

Total = 34 kg

In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer specifies the mass in ready-to-

drive conditions.

Payload The payload is made up as follows:

z Additional equipment
z Personal equipment

You will find explanations on the individual components of the payload in the
following text.
Z The vehicle's payload can be increased by reducing the weight in a ready-
to-drive condition. To do this, it is allowed for example to empty the fluid
containers or to remove the gas bottles.

Additional equipment Additional equipment includes accessories and special equipment. Examples
of additional equipment include:
z Stabiliser
z Awning
z Satellite unit
z Hot water supply
Chapter 15 lists the weights of the various items of special equipment; they
may also be obtained from the manufacturer.

Personal equipment Personal equipment includes all items in the vehicle that are not included in
the additional equipment. For example, personal equipment can include the
following:
z Foodstuffs
z Crockery
z Television
z Radio
z Clothes
z Bedding
z Toys
z Books
z Toiletries
No matter where kept, personal equipment also includes:
z Bikes
z Boats
z Surfboards
z Sports equipment

32 Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN

 Before the journey 3

For the personal equipment, according to the applicable regulations, the man-
ufacturer must use a minimum weight that is determined according to the fol-
lowing formula:

Formula Minimum weight M (kg) = 10 x N + 10 x L + 30

Explanation N = maximum number of beds, as stated by the manufacturer

L = total length of the caravan in metres, not including the drawbar

Example Caravan with 4 beds and a length of 5 m:

Minimum weight M (kg) = 10 x 4 beds + 10 x 5 metres + 30 = 120 kg

3.5.2 Calculating the payload

X The payload calculation at the factory is partly based on all-inclusive
weights. For safety reasons, the maximum permissible gross weight in
a laden condition must not be exceeded.
X Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-to-
drive condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the
vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have
your loaded vehicle (with all luggage and personal objects) weighed on
a public weighbridge before you set out on your journey.

The payload (see section 3.5.1) is the difference in weight between

z Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and
z Vehicle mass complete in a ready-to-drive condition.

Mass in kg to be Calculation
calculated
Example for calculating Maximum permissible gross weight ac- 1350
the payload cording to vehicle documents
Vehicle mass in a ready-to-drive condi- - 1100
tion, including basic equipment according
to vehicle documents
This results in a permissible payload 250
of
Additional equipment - 40
For the personal equipment this re- = 210
sults in

The calculation of the payload from the difference between the maximum per-
missible gross weight in laden condition and the mass specified by the manu-
facturer in ready-to-drive condition is however only a theoretical value.
Only if the vehicle is weighed with full tanks, full gas bottles and complete addi-
tional equipment on a public weighbridge, can the actual payload be deter-
mined.
The actual payload is the difference between the maximum permissible gross
weight in laden condition and the weighed vehicle weight.
The result is the weight that is permitted for the actual load of the personal
equipment.

3 Before the journey

3.5.3 Loading the caravan correctly

X Never exceed the maximum permissible gross weight.
X Distribute the load evenly on the left and right sides of the vehicle.
X Store all objects in such a way that they cannot slip.
X Store heavy objects (awning, tin cans, etc.) close to the axles. Low-lying
storage compartments whose doors do not open in the direction of travel
are particularly suited for storing heavy objects.
X Stack light objects (laundry) in the roof storage cabinets.
X Never concentrate the caravan load at the rear.

The payload arrangement recommended cannot be adhered to consequently

as the storage facilities are to be found throughout the complete caravan.
Ensure that heavy items are close to the axles and the lower area, i.e. directly
above the vehicle floor. Store heavy objects (awning, tin cans, etc.), if pos-
sible, in the towing vehicle.

Fig. 4 Incorrect weight distribution

Incorrectly loaded Loads stored apart from each other (Fig. 4) lead to inclination to skid.

Fig. 5 Correct weight distribution

Correctly loaded Do not store heavy objects such as awnings, tin cans, etc. in the caravan but
rather in the towing vehicle. Secure bicycles on the roof of the towing vehicle.
Store all loads close to the axle (Fig. 5).

3.5.4 Caravan load, nose weight and axle load

Z The nose weight of the caravan may not exceed 100 kg.

Z The information on the towing vehicle documents is important for the selec-
tion of the car and caravan.

1 Caravan load
2 Nose weight
3 Axle load

Fig. 6 Caravan load, nose weight and

axle load

Caravan load The caravan load (Fig. 6,1) stipulated in the towing vehicle documents pro-
vides information as to the maximum weight which the towing vehicle is per-
mitted to tow. The caravan load refers to the actual weight of the caravan and
not to the maximum permissible gross weight of the caravan.

Example The towing vehicle may tow 1,200 kg. If the caravan has a maximum permis-
sible gross weight of 1,200 kg and in fact weighs 900 kg, it can be loaded with
another 300 kg. If however the caravan has a maximum permissible gross
weight of 1,400 kg, it may only be loaded to a maximum of 1,200 kg.

Nose weight The nose weight (Fig. 6,2) specifies how much weight the caravan drawbar
can apply to the caravan coupling of the towing vehicle. Information is to be
found in description of the caravan couplings and the vehicle documents.
Therefore, a caravan coupling with a permissible nose weight of 50 kg may not
support a loaded caravan which has a nose weight of 75 kg. Additionally, for
the permissible gross weight the nose weight must be taken into considera-
tion. If necessary the payload in the towing vehicle must be reduced by the
amount of the nose weight.
The maximum permissible gross weight for the towing vehicle and for the car-
avan is not to be exceeded.
Only when the nose weight is adapted optimal to the towing vehicle and car-
avan combination, the towing vehicle and caravan achieves its maximum sta-
bility and safety in highway traffic. The optimal nose weight is simultaneously
the maximum possible nose weight.

„ Please refer to the vehicle documents and the description of the caravan
coupling for the maximum permissible nose weight.
„ If different values are specified in the vehicle documents and in the descrip-
tion of the caravan coupling: Please select the lowest value. This value is
the maximum possible nose weight for the towing vehicle and caravan.

Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN 35

3 Before the journey

„ Check the nose weight before each journey, e.g. with a nose weighing
scales. To obtain a correct value, position the nose weighing scales vertical
under the coupling jaw and place the caravan drawbar horizontal.
„ The payload in the caravan must be distributed in such a way that the
measured nose weight comes as close as possible to the maximum per-
missible nose weight. The maximum permissible nose weight is not be
exceeded.

Axle load The axle load (Fig. 6,3) is also specified in the vehicle documents of the towing
vehicle and provides information concerning the permissible maximum load
for the front and rear axles. The axle load may not be exceeded by a trailer.
The above illustration shows where which forces act on the car and caravan.

3.6 Road safety

X Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.

Chapter overview
4During the journey

This chapter contains instructions on how to drive the caravan.

The instructions address the following topics:
z driving speed
z brakes
z driving in reverse

4.1 Driving with the caravan

X During the journey, no persons are to travel inside the caravan.
X The caravan constructions were designed for a maximum permissible
speed of 100 km/h (60 mph). Therefore never drive faster than
100 km/h (60 mph).
X Please always observe the speed limits in the individual countries.

The main differences between driving with a caravan and driving without a car-
avan are the increased vehicle width and length, a decreased acceleration and
an increased vehicle stopping distance. Therefore, adapt your driving tech-
nique to the altered road behaviour resulting from driving with a caravan.

4.2 Brakes
X Have defects on the braking system immediately remedied by an author-
ised specialist workshop.

Before each journey Before each journey, check by means of a braking test:
z Does the overrun brake function?
z Do the brakes react evenly?
z Do the towing vehicle and the caravan remain in the lane when braking?

4.3 Driving in reverse

Z When driving in reverse, the caravan reacts in exactly the opposite direc-
tion to the steering movements of the towing vehicle. If you steer the towing
vehicle to the left, the caravan moves to the right.
Z Never back up without a second person to direct you.

As far as all models with an automatic reverse driving mechanism are con-
cerned, the caravan can be reversed without difficulty. In addition to the rolling
resistance, residual braking power must be taken into account.

 Pitching the caravan 5

Chapter overview
5Pitching the caravan

This chapter contains instructions on how to pitch the vehicle.

The instructions address the following topics:
z handbrake
z wheel chocks
z operation of the supports
z entrance step
z 240 V connection
z refrigerator
Z Pitch the vehicle so that it is as horizontal as possible. Secure the vehicle
to prevent it from rolling.
Z Animals (especially mice) can cause great damage to the interior of the
vehicle. To prevent this from happening, regularly check the vehicle for
damages or animal traces after pitching.

5.1 Handbrake
Firmly apply the handbrake when parking the vehicle.
Z If there is any risk of frost, release the handbrake every now and then and
apply it again. This will prevent it from freezing or rusting. Prior to releasing
the handbrake, secure the vehicle so that is cannot roll away.

Fig. 7 Handbrake

In order to release it, press the securing button (Fig. 7,2) and lower the hand-
brake (Fig. 7,1).
Z Prior to releasing the handbrake, lift the handbrake slightly. This enables
the securing button which is subjected to spring pressure to be pushed in
more lightly.

5.2 Wheel chocks

Use the two wheel chocks even when the upward or downward gradients are
of a minimum. The wheel chocks are situated on the underside in the front of
the caravan.

Removal: „ Press the retaining clip (Fig. 8,3) upwards.

„ Pull the wheel chock (Fig. 8,4) forwards until the recesses of the wheel
chock (Fig. 8,1) are aligned with the hooks at the holder (Fig. 8,2).
„ Remove the wheel chock downwards out of the holder.

5.3 Corner steadies

Z Do not use the fitted corner steadies as a vehicle jack. The corner steadies
are only for stabilising the pitched vehicle. The vehicle wheels are not to be
raised above the ground.
Z When pitching the vehicle, ensure that the corner steadies are evenly
loaded.
Z Before driving away, wind up the corner steadies as far as they can go.

Z When the ground is soft, place a pad or block under the supports in order
to prevent the vehicle from sinking into the ground.

In order to stabilise the pitched caravan use the corner steadies fitted as
standard.
With the assistance of the jockey wheel position the pitched caravan in a hor-
izontal position. For control purposes use a small spirit level.
Crank down the corner steadies after the caravan is in an absolutely horizontal
position.

Fig. 9 Corner steady cranked down

Cranking down: „ Place the hand crank provided as standard on the hexagonal nut (Fig. 9,1)
of the corner steady (Fig. 9,2).
„ Rotate the hand crank in a clockwise direction.

5.4 Entrance step

X Before commencing the journey and after short interruptions of the
journey, ensure that the entrance step is completely retracted.
X Do not step on the entrance step until it has extended completely. There
is a risk of injury.

Z Do not grease or lubricate the pivot bearing and joints of the entrance step
(see chapter 11).

Fig. 10 Entrance step (fitted)

Pulling out: „ Grasp the entrance step (Fig. 10,1) from below and pull it out until it locks
into place.

Pushing in: „ Grasp the entrance step (Fig. 10,1) from below and lift it slightly.
„ Push the entrance step as far as it will go under the base of the vehicle.
Make sure that the entrance step locks into place.

5.5 240 V connection

The vehicle can be connected to a 240 V power supply (see chapter 8).

5.6 Refrigerator
The 12 V operation of the refrigerator is only possible when a towing vehicle
is connected and the vehicle engine is running. When the vehicle engine is
switched off, switch the refrigerator to 240 V operation or gas operation.

 Living 6

6.4 Ventilation
X The oxygen in the vehicle interior is used up by breathing and the use of
gas operated appliances. That is why the oxygen needs to be replaced
on a constant basis. For this purpose, forced ventilation options (e.g.
skylights with forced ventilation, mushroom-shaped vents or floor vents)
are fitted to the vehicle. Never cover or block forced ventilations from the
inside or outside with objects such as e.g. a winter mat. Keep forced ven-
tilations clear of snow and leaves. When staying in the vehicle, open the
lifting roof. There is a danger of suffocation due to increased CO2 levels.
X The lifting roof is fitted with ventilation zips which can be opened for addi-
tional ventilation

Z Although sufficient ventilation is provided, in certain weather conditions,

condensation can form on metal objects (e.g. screwed connections in the
floor).
Z Additional cold spots can occur at thermal "bridges" (e.g. lifting roof edges,
mushroom-shaped vents, skylight edges, sockets, filler necks, flaps, etc.).

Condensation Ensure that there is a continuous exchange of air by providing frequent and
efficient ventilation. This is the only method for ensuring that condensation and
resulting mould is not formed during cool weather. During the colder season,
a pleasant living climate is created if heating output, air distribution and venti-
lation are synchronised.
If the vehicle is laid up for a longer period, occasionally ventilate it well, espe-
cially in summer as heat accumulation can occur. Do not only air the interior,
but also the storage compartments which are accessible from the outside. Air
the parking place as well if the vehicle is parked in a closed space (e.g.
garage). The occurrence of condensation could lead to the formation of mould.

6.5 Windows
Z The windows are fitted with a blind and an insect screen. After the latch has
been released, the blind and insect screen automatically spring back to the
initial position by tensile force. In order not to damage the tension
mechanics, hold onto the blind or insect screen and allow it to slowly return
to the initial position.
Z Before commencing the journey, close the windows.
Z Depending on the weather, close the windows far enough to prevent mois-
ture from entering.
Z To open and close the window, open or close all catch levers which are
fitted to the window.

Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN 49

6 Living

Z When leaving the vehicle, always close the windows.

Z In extreme weather conditions or if the temperature fluctuates strongly, a
light condensation film can form on the double-glazed acrylic glass. The
glass is designed in such a way that condensation can evaporate when the
external temperature increases. There is no danger of the double-glazed
acrylic glass being damaged by condensation.
Z The upholstery will fade over time, if it is exposed to sunlight. If the temper-
ature within the vehicle rises rapidly as well, the colour will change at an
accelerated rate.
Therefore, we recommend to close the shades on the windows when there
is strong sunlight. Ensure that heat does not build up when you close the
blind.

6.5.1 Hinged window

Z If windows with automatic hinges are fitted, open the window fully in order
to release the lock. If the locking device is not released and the window is
closed nevertheless, there is the danger of the window breaking due to the
massive counter-pressure.

Chapter overview
7Gas system

This chapter contains instructions regarding the gas system of the vehicle.
The instructions address the following topics:
z safety
z changing the gas bottles
z gas isolator taps
z external gas connection
z automatic switching facility
The operation of the gas operation appliances of the vehicle is described in
chapter 9.

7.1 General
X Before commencing the journey, when leaving the vehicle or when gas
equipment is not in use, close all gas isolator taps and the main isolator
tap on the gas bottle.
X No appliance operated by a naked flame (e.g. heater or refrigerator) may
be in operation when filling the tank, on ferries or in the garage. Danger
of explosion!
X Do not use appliances operated with a naked flame in closed spaces
(e.g. garages). Danger of poisoning and suffocation!
X Only have the gas system maintained, repaired or altered by an author-
ised specialist workshop.
X Have the gas system checked by an authorised specialist workshop
according to the national regulations before commissioning. This also
applies for not registered vehicles. For modifications to the gas system
have the gas system immediately checked by an authorised specialist
workshop.
X The gas pressure regulator and exhaust gas pipes must also be
inspected. The gas pressure regulator has to be replaced after 10 years
at the latest. The vehicle owner is responsible for seeing that this is car-
ried out.
X In case of a defect of the gas system (gas odour, high gas consumption)
there is danger of explosion! Close regulator tap on the gas bottle imme-
diately. Open doors and windows and ventilate well.
X If the gas system is defective: Do not smoke; do not ignite any open
flames, and do not operate electric switches (light switches etc.).
X Open the lifting roof before taking open sources of combustion (gas
cooker) into service.
X Do not use the gas cooker or gas oven for heating purposes.
X If the vehicle or gas devices are not used, close the regulator tap on the
gas bottle.
X If there are several gas devices, each gas device must have its own gas
isolator tap. If individual gas devices are not in use, close the respective
gas isolator tap.
X Ignition safety valves must close within 1 minute after the gas flame has
extinguished. A clicking sound is audible. Check function from time to
time.

Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN 63

7 Gas system

X The built-in gas devices are exclusively meant for use with propane or
butane gas or a mixture of both. The gas pressure regulator as well as
all built-in gas devices are designed for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.
X Propane gas is capable of gasification up to -42 °C, whereas butane gas
gasifies at 0 °C. Below these temperatures no gas pressure is available.
Butane gas is unsuitable for use in winter.
X Regularly inspect the gas tube fitted to the gas bottle connection for
tightness. The gas tube must not have any tears and must not be
porous. Have the gas tube replaced by an authorised specialist work-
shop no later than ten years after the manufacturing date. The operator
of the gas system must see to it that the parts are replaced.
X Due to its function and construction, the gas bottle compartment is a
space which is open to the exterior. Never cover or block up the standard
forced ventilations. Otherwise gas that is emitted can not be diverted to
the outside.
X Do not use the gas bottle compartment as storage space as it is not
moisture-proof.
X Secure the gas bottle compartment against unauthorised access. To do
this, lock the compartment.
X The regulator tap on the gas bottle must be accessible.
X Only connect gas-operated devices (e.g. gas grill) which have been
designed for a gas pressure of 30 mbar.
X The exhaust gas pipe must be fitted tightly to the heating system and to
the vent and must be sealed. The exhaust gas pipe must not show any
evidence of damage.
X Exhaust fumes must be able to escape into the atmosphere unhindered
and fresh air must be able to enter unhindered. For this reason, keep the
exhaust pipe and intake openings clean and unobstructed (e.g. free from
snow and ice). For this reason, no snow walls or aprons may lie against
the vehicle.

7.2 Gas bottles

X Gas bottles are only to be transported within the designated gas bottle
compartment.
X Place the gas bottles in vertical position in the gas bottle compartment.
X Fasten the gas bottles so that they are unable to turn or tilt.
X If the gas bottles are not connected to the gas tube, always place the
protective cap on top.
X Close the regulator tap on the gas bottle before the gas pressure regu-
lator or gas tube are removed from the gas bottle.
X The gas pressure regulator or the gas tube must only be secured with a
suitable gas spanner (Do not overtighten).
X Only use special gas pressure regulators with a safety valve designed
for vehicle use. Other gas pressure regulators are not permitted and
cannot meet the demanding requirements.
X Use the gas pressure regulator defroster if the temperature falls below
5 °C.

64 Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN

 Gas system 7

X The designated gas bottle compartment will accommodate two gas bot-
tles, i. e. Calor Gas Butane/Propane or Camping Gaz. All gas bottles
must be fitted with the appropriate regulator.
X Use the shortest possible tube lengths (150 cm max.) for external gas
bottles.
X Never block the floor ventilation openings below the gas bottles.

Z For gas-operated units the gas pressure must be reduced to 30 mbar.

Z Connect gas pressure regulator complete with safety valve directly to bottle
valve.
The gas pressure regulator reduces the gas pressure in the gas bottle
down to the operating pressure of the gas devices.
Z For filling and connecting the gas bottles in Europe the accessories shops
have corresponding Euro filling sets and Euro bottle sets.
Z Information available at the dealers or service centre.

7.3 Changing gas bottles

X When changing gas bottles, do not smoke or create any open fire.
X When you have changed the gas bottle, check whether gas escapes at
the connection points and unions. Use a leakage search spray to spray
the relevant connection point or union. These agents are available at the
accessories shop.

7.5 External gas connection

X If the external gas connection is not in use, always close the gas isolator
tap.
X Only gas appliances with a suitable adapter should be connected to the
external gas connection.
X Connect only external gas appliances which are designed for an opera-
tion pressure of 30 mbar.
X Once you have made the connection and opened the gas isolator tap,
make sure that no gas is escaping at the connection point. If there is a
leak in the external gas connection, gas will escape into the open air.
Immediately close the gas isolator tap and the regulator tap on the gas
bottle. Have the external gas connection checked by an authorised spe-
cialist workshop.
X When connecting an external gas appliance, make sure that there is
nothing near the external gas connection that could cause a spark.
X Do not use the external gas connection to fill gas bottles. Observe the
information stickers on the external gas connection.

7.6 DuoControl switching facility

X Do not use the switching facility in closed spaces.

Z Also read the manufacturer's instruction manual.

The DuoControl is an automatic switching facility with a remote display for a

two-bottle gas system. The DuoControl switching facility automatically
switches gas supply from the primary bottle to the reserve bottle as soon as
the primary bottle is either empty or no longer ready for operation. The gas
appliances may still continue operation. The DuoControl switching facility is
suitable for all commercial gas bottles from 3 kg to 33 kg.

Fig. 52 DuoControl switching facility Fig. 53 Operating unit

Construction of the unit The DuoControl switching facility consists of a reversing valve (Fig. 52,3) and
an operating unit (Fig. 53). The reversing valve is installed between the gas
tubes (Fig. 52,2 and 5). The knob (Fig. 52,4) on the reversing valve is used to
select which of the gas bottles is to be used as a primary bottle and which is
to be used as a reserve bottle.
The reversing valve is equipped with the regulator defroster Eis-Ex. This pre-
vents damage to the gas system during the winter months.

The regulator taps on the gas bottles (Fig. 52,1 and 6) must be opened man-
ually.
The reversing valve provides a constant gas pressure, regardless of which gas
bottle is being drawn upon. The two indicator lamps on the operating unit indi-
cate the level of the primary bottle. When the green indicator lamp (Fig. 53,6)
illuminates, the primary bottle is full. When the red indicator lamp (Fig. 53,5)
illuminates, the primary bottle is empty. In this case, the reserve bottle is used
for the gas supply.

Operating modes The DuoControl switching facility has two operating modes:
z Winter operation "On and heating"
z Summer operation "On"

Putting into operation: „ Open the regulator taps on the gas bottles (Fig. 52,1 and 6).
„ Use the knob (Fig. 52,4) on the reversing valve (Fig. 52,3) to select the gas
bottle which is to be the primary source of gas (primary bottle).
Always turn the knob as far as it will go.
„ Switch on the DuoControl switching facility at the operating unit (Fig. 53).
To do so, set the rocker switch (Fig. 53,7) to winter operation "On and
heating" (Fig. 53,2) or to summer operation "On" (Fig. 53,4). The reversing
valve is now deaerated. The yellow indicator lamp (Fig. 53,1) illuminates if
the winter operation has been selected and the regulator defroster is acti-
vated.

Switching off: „ Set the rocker switch (Fig. 53,7) to " " (Fig. 53,3). The yellow indicator
lamp (Fig. 53,1) goes out.
„ Close the regulator taps on the gas bottles (Fig. 52,1 and 6).

Remote display The indicator lamps on the operating unit (Fig. 53,5 and 6) indicate in the
vehicle interior whether the primary bottle is ready for operation.

Changing gas bottles If the green indicator lamp (Fig. 53,6) stops illuminating during operation and
the red indicator lamp (Fig. 53,5) illuminates, the gas bottle selected as pri-
mary bottle is empty and needs to be changed. The reserve bottle continues
supplying the gas appliances with gas.

X When changing gas bottles, do not smoke or create any open fire.

Changing gas bottles: „ Close the regulator tap on the empty gas bottle.
„ Unscrew the gas tube of the gas bottle.
„ Connect the full gas bottle to the gas tube.
„ Open the regulator tap on the gas bottle.
„ Set the knob on the reversing valve with a half-turn, so that the newly
replaced gas bottle will serve as a reserve bottle.

Chapter overview
8Electrical system

This chapter contains instructions regarding the electrical system of the car-
avan.
The instructions address the following topics:
z safety
z explanations of terms relating to the battery
z 12 V power supply
z living area battery
z power supply unit
z 240 V power supply
z connection to the 240 V power supply
z fuse rating
z sockets
z towing vehicle connection
z electrical wiring
The operation of the electrical appliances of the housing body is described in
chapter 9.

8.1 General safety instructions

X Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.

The vehicle is a safe place during a storm (Faraday cage). However, to protect
the electrical devices, disconnect the 240 V connection and retract the
antennae as a precaution.

8.2 Terms
Off-load voltage The off-load voltage is the voltage of the battery in idle condition, i. e. no cur-
rent is consumed and the battery is not being charged.
Z The battery must remain idle for a while before measuring. After charging
the last time, or after the last current has been drained by consumers, wait
approximately 2 hours before measuring the idle voltage.

Closed circuit current Some electrical appliances, such as the clock and the indicator lamps, require
continuous electric current, for this reason they are referred to as inactive
appliances. This closed circuit current flows even if the device has been
switched off.

Total discharge Total discharge of the battery is imminent, if a battery is completely discharged
by an active appliance and by closed circuit current and the off-load voltage
falls below 12 V.
Z Total discharge damages the battery.

Capacity Capacity refers to the amount of electricity which can be stored in a battery.
The capacity of a battery is given in ampere hours (Ah). The so-called
K20 value is normally used.

Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN 69

8 Electrical system

The K20 value indicates how much current a battery is able to dispense over
a time period of 20 hours without causing damage, or how much current is
required to charge a flat battery within 20 hours.
For example, if a battery can dispense 4 amps for 20 hours, then it has a
capacity of 4 A x 20 h = 80 Ah.
If more current flows, the capacity of the battery reduces proportionately.
External influences, such as temperature and age may alter the storage
capacity of the battery. Capacity details refer to new batteries operating at
room temperature.
Z Depending on battery technology, capacity details have a conversion factor
of 1.3 to 1.7, which lowers the real capacity by this value.

8.3 12 V power supply

Z If you use the battery of the towing vehicle to provide power for the caravan,
bear in mind that the battery capacity is restricted. If you place too great a
burden on the battery, this may lead to starting difficulties.
Z Always disconnect the electrical connection between the towing vehicle
and the caravan before the caravan is connected to the local power supply.
In order to carry this out, disconnect the plug from towing vehicle socket.
Z Always disconnect the electrical connection between the towing vehicle
and the caravan before the living area battery is charged by means of a
charger.
When the caravan is not connected to the 240 V power supply, 12 V power
supply is performed either by the starter battery of the connected towing
vehicle or by the living area battery (Power Pack SE).
The starter battery has a limited power supply only. For this reason, the elec-
trical appliances should not be operated for a long time without using the
240 V power supply when the engine of the towing vehicle is switched off.
If the caravan is electrically connected to the towing vehicle and the vehicle
engine is running, the living area battery is charged by the vehicle generator.
The 12 V power supply can be cut off with the 12 V main switch on the panel.

8.3.1 Living area battery (Power Pack SE)

Z The dryfill battery must not be opened.
Z Use only the built-in power supply unit to load the living area battery.
Z Prior to commencing a journey ensure the living area battery is fully
charged. For this reason charge the living area battery for at least 20 hours
before commencing the journey.
Z During the trip, use every opportunity to charge the living area battery.
Z Charge the living area battery for at least 20 hours after the journey.
Z Charge the battery for at least 20 hours before laying up.
Z For long periods of inactivity (4 weeks or more), either disconnect the living
area battery or recharge it regularly.
Z When the living area battery is changed, only use batteries of the same
type.

70 Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN

 Electrical system 8

Z Before disconnecting or connecting the terminals of the living area battery,

switch off the engine of the towing vehicle as well as the 240 V and 12 V
power supplies and all appliances. Danger of short circuit!
Z If the living area battery is disconnected and the caravan and towing
vehicle are connected electrically, do not apply the ignition. There is a
danger of short circuit from exposed cable ends.

Z The battery is maintenance-free. Maintenance-free means:

It is not necessary to check the acid level.
It is not necessary to lubricate the battery poles.
It is not necessary to refill the distilled water.
Even a maintenance-free battery must be charged regularly.
When the vehicle is not connected to the 240 V power supply or the 240 V
power supply is switched off, the living area battery supplies the living area
with 12 V DC. The living area battery has a limited power supply only. For this
reason, electrical appliances such as the radio and the lights should not be
operated for a long time without using the 240 V power supply.

Discharging The living area battery is discharged by the closed circuit current which some
electrical appliances continuously require.
Z Total discharge damages the battery.
Z Recharge battery in good time.

Low temperatures outside reduce the capacity available.

The self-discharge rate of the battery is also dependant on temperature. At 20
to 25 °C the self-discharge rate is approx. 3 % of the capacity per month. The
self-discharge rate will increase with rising temperatures: At 35 °C the self-dis-
charge rate is approx. 20 % of the capacity per month.
An older battery no longer has the complete capacity available.
The higher the number of active electrical appliances, the faster the energy of
the living area battery is consumed.
In order to prevent fast discharge of the living area battery, the refrigerator is
operated on 12 V power supply only when the engine is running and when
there is an electrical connection between the towing vehicle and caravan.

Charging Only use the power supply unit to charge the living area battery. Therefore,
connect the vehicle to a 240 V power supply system as often as possible.
Z Charge the battery for at least 48 hours after a total discharge.
Z At temperatures below 0 °C, a dryfill battery consumes less power. At
approx. -15 °C, there will be no more power. The living area battery can no
longer be charged.
The living area battery is recharged by the alternator of the towing vehicle if
the caravan is connected electrically to the towing vehicle and the towing
vehicle's engine is running.
Z Further information can be obtained in the separate documentation for the
living area battery.

8 Electrical system

8.3.2 Energy balance of the living area battery

The living area battery has a limited power supply only. For this reason, the
electrical appliances should not be operated without a 240 V power supply for
a longer period of time.
Below, the calculation of the maximum operating time of the currently available
battery capacity is described.
Z The example calculation refers to a new, optimally charged battery. The
actual effective battery capacity depends on the current charging condition
and the age of the battery. The current battery capacity can be determined
by means of special indicator units.

„ Record the daily requirement. Note the switching on times and the power
output of the devices used (see table below).

Example: In the morning, three spotlights with 10 watts [W] each are lit in the bathroom
for 30 minutes.

„ Convert the power data into the required capacity in accordance with the
following formulas:
Power consumption [W] : 12 [V] = Current [A]
Current [A] x Operating time [h] = Capacity [Ah]

Example: 30 [W] : 12 [V] = 2.5 [A]

2.5 [A] x 0.5 [h] = 1.25 [Ah]
The table for a whole day could look like this:

Appliance Power con- Current Operating Capacity

sumption [W] [A] time [h] [Ah]
Balance of energy Bathroom lighting 30 2.5 0.5 1.25
consumption Submerged pump 42 3.5 0.1 0.35
(example)
Heater 12 1.5 3.0 4.50
Television 36 3.0 2.5 7.50
Satellite unit 36 3.0 2.5 7.50
Kitchen lighting 21 1.8 2.0 3.50
Refrigerator 2 0.2 24.0 4.00
Living area lamps 20 1.6 1.5 2.50
Average daily requirement 31.10

„ Calculate the maximum effective energy with the following formula or

determine it with a special indicator unit:
Current capacity [Ah] : Deep discharge protection = Maximum effective
energy [Ah]

Example: 80 Ah : 1.3 (gel battery) = 61.5 Ah

„ Calculate the maximum operating time in accordance with the following for-
mula:
Max. effective energy [Ah] : Daily requirement [Ah] = Max. operating time
(in days)

72 Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN

 Electrical system 8

Example: 61.5 [Ah] : 31.1 [Ah] = 2

The current battery capacity would be sufficient for two days if the daily
requirement remains the same.

Solar cells The independent time period can be extended with use of the solar cells.
Two solar cells of 50 W produce the following gain:
z Summer: Approx. 34 Ah/day (independent operation reached)
z Winter: Approx. 8-9 Ah/day (in order to prolong independent operation,
another living area battery must be installed)

Functions The power supply unit distributes the current to the 12 V circuits and secures
them.
If the vehicle is not connected to the 240 V supply, the requisite power supply
is provided by the battery of the towing vehicle, as long as contact 9 "constant
positive" is connected to the towing vehicle socket (see connection diagram at
the end of this chapter). The 12 V living area lamps and the 12 V plug sockets
can be used, with the exception of the TV output plug socket.
Devices with a maximum of 10 A can be connected to the sockets.
If the vehicle is connected to the 240 V power supply, the power supply unit
switches the power supply in the living area automatically from the towing
vehicle battery to mains operation. The internal power pack in the power
supply unit provides 12 V plug sockets and 12 V appliances with power.
Z The power supply unit is not used to charge the starter battery of the towing
vehicle.

Functions The power supply unit performs the following tasks:

z The power supply units charges the living area battery.
z The power supply unit distributes the current to the 12 V circuits and
secures them. Devices with a maximum of 10 A can be connected to the
sockets.
z The power supply unit provides connections for a solar charge regulator as
well as other control and monitoring functions.
z The power supply unit separates the starter battery of the towing vehicle
electrically from the living area battery of the caravan if there is an electric
connection between the towing vehicle and the caravan and if the vehicle
engine and the ignition are turned off. In this way the 12 V appliances of the
caravan cannot discharge the starter battery of the towing vehicle.
The power in the power supply unit (> 28 A) is divided into charging current
and current to the appliances. The charging current is always just the portion
that is not being used by any appliances. If the current to the appliances
exceeds the current available, then the living area battery is discharged.

Position The power supply unit is installed in the wardrobe.

Z Further information can be obtained in the manufacturer's instruction
manual.

8.5.1 Battery selector switch

X If the battery selector switch is set incorrectly, there is the danger of the
formation of detonating (oxy-hydrogen gas). Danger of explosion!

Z Incorrect setting of the battery selector switch damages the living area bat-
tery.
Z The factory settings of the battery selector switch must not be changed.

 Electrical system 8

8.5.2 Charging the battery

During mobile operation, the alternator of the towing vehicle charges the living
area battery. If the engine and the ignition of the towing vehicle are cut off, then
the power supply unit disconnects the starter battery electrically from the living
area battery so that it is not possible to discharge the starter battery of the
towing vehicle by using 12 V living area appliances.
When the vehicle is connected to the 240 V power supply, the living area bat-
tery is charged by the power supply unit.
Z The power supply unit is not used to charge the starter battery of the towing
vehicle.

8.6 On/Off switch (Power Pack SE)

Fig. 56 On/Off switch

The On/Off switch (Fig. 56,1) switches the 12 V power supply to the living area
on and off.

Position The on/off switch is located in the entrance area.

Z When leaving the vehicle, switch off the On/Off switch. This prevents any
unnecessary discharge of the living area battery.

8.7 240 V power supply

X Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.
X Have the vehicle's electrical system checked by a qualified electrician at
least once every 3 years. If the vehicle is used frequently, an annual
check is recommended.

The 240 V power supply provides electricity for:

z sockets with earth contact for appliances with maximum 16 A
z refrigerator
z 12 V living area power supply

The electrical appliances which have been connected to the 12 V power

supply system of the living area are supplied with power from the living area

9.1 General
Z The heat exchanger of the Truma hot-air heater has to be replaced after
30 years. Only the manufacturer of the heater or an authorised specialist
workshop is allowed to replace the heat exchanger. The operator of the
heater must see to it that the parts are replaced.
Z For safety reasons, spare parts for pieces of heating appliances must cor-
respond with manufacturer's instructions and be permitted by the manufac-
turer as a spare part. These spare parts may only be fitted by the
manufacturer or an authorised specialist workshop.

Z Further information can be obtained in the instruction manual for the

respective appliance.

The heater, boiler, cooker and refrigerator are fitted depending on the model
of the vehicle.
In this instruction manual a description is given only for the operation of the
appliances and their particular features.
To operate gas appliances, first open the regulator tap on the gas bottle and
the gas isolator tap corresponding to the appliance.

garage, never run the heater in gas operation. Danger of explosion!
X Never operate the heater in gas operation in closed spaces (e.g.
garages). Danger of poisoning and suffocation!
X If the circulation fan does not activate automatically, switch the circula-
tion fan on from heating level 3 to 4. There is danger of overheating for
the heater!
X Do not damage the exhaust gas pipe.
X The waste gas vent may neither be closed nor blocked.
X When camping in winter, the Truma waste gas vent extension should be
used to prevent snow from choking the waste gas vent.
X Do not use the space behind the heater as a storage compartment.

When lighting the heater for the first time a small amount of smoke and odour
will occur. Immediately set the operating switch of the heater to its highest
position. Open doors and windows and ventilate well. Smoke and odour will
disappear by themselves after a while.

9.2.1 To heat properly

Fig. 70 Air outlet nozzle

Hot air distribution Several air outlet nozzles (Fig. 70) are built into the vehicle. Pipes conduct the
warm air to the air outlet nozzles. Turn the air outlet nozzles in a suitable posi-
tion so the air can escape as required.

Adjusting the air outlet z Fully open: Full hot air stream
nozzles z Half or partially open: Reduced hot air stream

When five air outlet nozzles are completely opened, less warm air escapes
through each nozzle. However, if only three air outlet nozzles are opened,
more warm air flows out of each nozzle.

9 Appliances

Z When leaving the vehicle, always mount the refrigerator ventilation grill.
Otherwise water can enter during rain.
Z The cooling power of the refrigerator depends on the vehicle setup. The
cooling power can decrease if the vehicle is inclined by 5° or more. There-
fore, always park the vehicle on level ground.
Z Absorption refrigerators operate at normal room temperature (approx.
21 °C) within the specified temperature range. At significantly higher
ambient temperatures (> 30 °C), the cooling power is reduced. This is
because the "evaporating temperature" of the refrigerant is lower in
absorption refrigerators than it is in compressor refrigerators.

Chapter overview
10Sanitary fittings

This chapter contains instructions regarding the sanitary fittings of the vehicle.
The instructions address the following topics:
z water canister or water tank
z waste water tank
z complete water system
z toilet

10.1 Water supply, general

X Fill water canister or water tank from supply systems that have been ver-
ified to provide drinking water quality.
X Only use such hoses or containers when filling that have been approved
for use with drinking water.
X Thoroughly rinse filling hose or container with drinking water before use
(2 to 3 times capacity).
X Empty filling hose or container completely after use and close openings
of the filling hose or container.
X Water left standing in the water canister, in the water tank or in the water
pipes becomes undrinkable after a short period. Therefore, before each
use of the vehicle, thoroughly clean the water pipes and the water can-
ister or the water tank. After each use of the vehicle completely empty
the water canister or the water tank and the water pipes.
X In the case of lay-ups lasting more than a week disinfect the water
system before using the vehicle.

Z If the vehicle is not used for several days or if it is not heated when there is
a risk of frost, empty the entire water system. Leave the water taps on in
central position. Leave the safety/drainage valve (if there is one) and all
drain cocks open. Frost damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehicle
and deposits in water-carrying components can be avoided in this way.
Z The water pump will overheat without water and can get damaged. Never
operate water pump when the water canister or the water tank is empty.
The vehicle is equipped with a water canister or a built-in water tank. An elec-
tric water pump pumps the water to the individual water taps. Opening a water
tap automatically switches on the water pump and pumps water to the tap.
A canister or a waste water tank collects the waste water.
Z Before using the water fittings: Connect the 240 V power supply and switch
on the 240 V automatic circuit breaker, or connect the caravans electrics to
the towing vehicle. Otherwise the water pump will not work. (This only
applies to caravans that are not equipped with a separate battery.)
Z When the water canister or the water tank is re-filled, an air bubble may
form at the bottom of the pump. This air bubble will prevent water from
being drawn in. Shake the water pump up and down energetically in the
water.

Chapter overview
11Care

This chapter contains instructions regarding the care of the vehicle.

The instructions address the following topics:
z exterior of the vehicle
z interior
z cushions
z water system
z winter operation
At the end of the chapter there is a checklist of measures you must carry out
if you are not going to use the vehicle for an extended period of time.
The checklist address the following topics:
z temporary lay-up
z winter lay-up
z start-up after a lay-up

11.1 External care

11.1.1 General
Standard external care consists of regular washing. The use and the environ-
mental conditions will determine how often the vehicle needs to be washed.
Wash the vehicle more frequently in areas which are exposed to heavy air pol-
lution or heavy traffic or roads treated with de-icing salts. If the vehicle is
exposed to salty and humid air (coastal areas, humid climates), wash the
vehicle more frequently.
Do not park under trees if at all possible. The resin-like discharge which many
trees secrete, give the paintwork a matt look and can promote the onset of cor-
rosion.
Wash off bird droppings straight away and thoroughly, as the acid it contains
is extremely corrosive.

11.1.2 Washing with a high-pressure cleaner

Z Do not clean the tyres with a high-pressure cleaner. The tyres might be
damaged.
Z Do not spray external applications (deco-films) directly with the high-pres-
sure cleaner. The external applications could come off.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure cleaner, observe the oper-
ating instructions of the high-pressure cleaner.
When cleaning with the nozzle for circular jet between the vehicle and the
cleaning nozzle, maintain a minimum distance of approx. 700 mm.
Take into consideration that the jet of water comes out of the cleaning nozzle
with pressure. The vehicle may be damaged by incorrect handling of the high-
pressure cleaner. The temperature of the water should not be above 60 °C.
Keep the jet of water in constant movement during the washing process. Do
not direct the water jet at clearances, built-in electrical parts, plugs, seals, the
ventilation grill or the skylights. The vehicle may be damaged or water may
enter the interior.

Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN 107

11 Care

11.1.3 Washing the vehicle

Z Never clean the vehicle in the car wash. Water can enter the refrigerator
grills, the waste gas vents, the ventilation of the extractor hoods or the
forced ventilations. The vehicle could be damaged.

„ Wash the vehicle only on a washing site intended for this purpose.
Avoid full sunshine. Observe environmental measures.
„ Only clean external applications and synthetic parts with plenty of warm
water, dish washing liquid and soft cloth.
„ Wash down the vehicle with plenty of water, a clean sponge or a soft brush.
In the case of stubborn dirt add dish washing liquid to the water.
„ Painted exterior walls may also be cleaned with a caravan cleaner.
„ Treat rubber seals of doors and storage flaps with talc.
„ Treat locking cylinder of doors and storage flaps with graphite dust.

11.1.4 Windows of acrylic glass

Acrylic glass windows are delicate and require very careful handling.
Z Never rub acrylic glass windows dry as dust particles might damage the
surface!
Z Only clean acrylic glass windows with plenty of warm water, some dish
washing liquid and a soft cloth.
Z Never use glass cleaning agents with chemical, abrasive or alcohol-con-
taining additives. Premature brittleness of the panes and associated cracks
may result from their use.
Z Avoid contact of cleansing agents used for the body (e.g. tar- or silicone-
removing agents) with acrylic glass.
Z Do not clean vehicle in car wash.
Z Do not attach stickers to the acrylic glass windows.
Z Having cleaned the vehicle rinse acrylic glass with sufficient clear water.
Z Apply talcum powder to rubber seals.

Z An acrylic glass cleanser with antistatic effect is suitable for a follow-up

treatment. Small scratches can be treated with an acrylic glass polish.
These agents are available at the accessories shop.

11.1.5 Hot galvanized chassis

Salt deposits damage the hot galvanized chassis and can cause white rust.
But so-called white rust represent no defects. It is only a visual damage.
The most frequent causes for white rust are:
z Abrasives and de-icing salts (e.g. when driving during winter months)
z Condensation (e.g. by covering the vehicle with plastic foils or awning)
z Humidity (e.g. by parking the vehicle in high grass, in puddles or sludge)
z Cleaning agents (e.g. by cleaning with aggressive cleaning agents)
z Snow (e.g. by standing too long in snow)
z Defective ventilation (e.g. by covering with aprons in the floor area)

108 Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN

 Care 11

To avoid formation of white rust or to remove any existing white rust, we rec-
ommend the following method:

„ After driving in winter, rinse out the hot galvanized surfaces with clean
water.
„ If hot galvanized parts are affected by white rust, clean with a zinc cleaner
(e.g. Poligrat).

11.1.6 Add-on parts made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP)

Z Avoid contact between polish and window rubber and piping.
Z The glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) may not become too hot. There-
fore when polishing with a polishing machine, keep the machine in constant
motion.
GRP add-on parts can turn yellow or become weather-worn due to insufficient
care for the vehicle or ageing of the material.
GRP add-on parts should therefore undergo regular follow-up treatment. This
way, these parts will not turn yellow and the sealing of the surface remains
intact.

Follow-up treatment of GRP „ Wash the vehicle and allow to dry as described above. Check if the GRP
add-on parts: add-on parts are clean and dry.
„ Apply the polisher with a soft cloth evenly on the surface of the GRP add-
on part.
„ Wait until a light grey film forms.
„ Wipe the GRP add-on part with a dry, soft cloth. Move the cloth in circles
over the surface of the GRP add-on part.
We recommend using a polishing machine for this work.
Z Paint protection has to be used to preserve the polish. Please read the
instructions of the paint protection for details on how to apply it.

11.1.7 Underbody
The underbody of the vehicle is partly coated with an age-resistant underbody
protection. Should the underbody protection be damaged, repair immediately.
Do not treat areas coated with underbody protection with spray oil.
Z Only use products approved by the manufacturer. Our authorised dealers
and service centres will be happy to advise you.

11.1.8 Waste water tank

Clean the waste water tank after every use of the vehicle.

Cleaning: „ Empty the waste water tank.

„ Open the cleaning opening on the waste water tank.
„ Thoroughly rinse out the waste water tank with fresh water.

Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN 109

11 Care

11.1.9 Entrance step

If the entrance step is lubricated, coarse particles of dirt can settle on the lubri-
cant during the journey and cause damage to the operating mechanism of the
entrance step. Therefore, do not lubricate the moving parts of the entrance
step.

11.2 Interior care

Z If possible, treat stains immediately.
Z Acrylic glass windows are delicate and require very careful handling (see
section 11.1.4).
Z Synthetic parts in the toilet and living area are very delicate and should be
treated with care. Do not use solvents, alcohol-containing cleansers or
scourers. This procedure will help you to avoid brittleness and formation of
cracks.
Z Hair colourants, nail varnish, cigarette ash and similar substances may
cause permanent stains or discolouration. For this reason, you should pre-
vent these substances from getting onto plastic parts. If they do get onto
plastic parts, you should remove these substances immediately.
Z Do not pour any corrosive agents into the drain holes. Never pour boiling
water directly into the drain holes. Corrosive agents and boiling water
cause damage to drainage pipes and siphon traps.
Z Do not use vinegar based products to clean the toilet and water system, or
for decalcification of the water system. Vinegar-based products may cause
damage to seals or parts of the installation. Use standard decalcifying
products for decalcification.
Z Save water. Mop up all remaining water.

Z For information about the use of maintenance products, our representa-

tives and service centres will be glad to advise.

„ Surface and knobs of furniture, lamps and synthetic parts in the toilet and
living area should be cleaned with water and a wool cloth. A mild cleanser
may be added to the water. If required, use furniture polish for the painted
surfaces.
„ Curtains and net curtains should be dry cleaned.
„ Vacuum clean the carpet, if necessary clean with carpet shampoo.
„ Clean PVC-floor covering with a mild, soapy cleanser for PVC floors. Do
not place carpet on wet PVC-floor covering. The carpet and the PVC-floor
covering may stick together.
„ Never clean the sink or the gas cooker with a scourer. Avoid anything which
may cause scratching or grooves.
„ Clean the burners on the gas cooker using a damp cloth only. Prevent any
water from penetrating the burner cover. Water may damage the burners.
„ Brush insect screen with a soft brush or vacuum with the brush attachment
of the vacuum cleaner. Remove stubborn dirt with warm water (approx.
30 °C).

110 Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN

 Care 11

„ Brush blinds with a soft brush or vacuum with the brush attachment of the
vacuum cleaner. Grease or stubborn dirt may be removed with a mild soap
at 30 °C (curd soap).
„ Wipe the canvas of the lifting roof only with a damp, soft cloth so as not to
alter the impregnation.

11.3 Cushions
The care and cleaning instructions below are for assistance only. They are not
a guarantee of successful cleaning. These instructions cannot form the basis
for any warranty claims.
Z If possible, treat stains immediately.
Z Never use household cleaners to remove marks (e.g. detergents).
Z Before treating marks, test the cleaning on a hidden part of the upholstery
covers. This will show you whether the cleaning will damage the materials
or dyes.
Z Always only dab moist or greasy marks, never rub them. It is most effective
to gently press an absorbent cloth or a sponge onto the mark.
Z Do not wash upholstery.
Z When cleaning leather covers, make sure that the leather is not soaked
through and that no water seeps through the seams of the leather covers.

Z Treat the mark from the outside working inwards. This prevents the mark
from spreading.
Z In the case of both solid or softer contamination, first remove the coarse
parts. Next, carefully scrape off the mark with a blunt knife or spatula.
Z If the mark has already dried in, carefully brush off the coarse parts. Next,
dab off the mark with a damp cloth or sponge.
Z The upholstery will fade over time, if it is exposed to sunlight. If the temper-
ature within the vehicle rises rapidly as well, the colour will change at an
accelerated rate.
Therefore, we recommend to close the shades on the windows when there
is strong sunlight. Ensure that heat does not build up when you close the
blind.

Grease, oil, wine, milk, Use only ordinary water-based cleaning agents. Alternatively, mix 2 table-
non-alcoholic beverages spoons of ammoniac with 1 litre of water. Gently dab the mark with a cloth
moistened with this solution. Turn the cloth frequently so that the mark only
comes into contact with a clean part of the cloth.

Urine, sweat Use only ordinary water-based cleaning agents. Alternatively, mix 2 table-
spoons of ammoniac with 1 litre of water. Gently dab the mark with a cloth
moistened with this solution. Turn the cloth frequently so that the mark only
comes into contact with a clean part of the cloth.

Chocolate, coffee Dab with lukewarm water.

Fruits Dab with cold water.

Wax, candle Carefully scrape off the wax with a blunt knife or spatula. Cover the mark with
several layers of waterleaf paper and iron.

Blood Mix 2 tablespoons of salt and 1 litre of water. Moisten the mark and dab with
a dry cloth. Dab stubborn marks with ammonia solution.

Ballpen, ink Gently dab the mark with a cloth moistened with cleaner's naphtha. Turn the
cloth frequently so that the mark only comes into contact with a clean part of
the cloth.

Mud Carefully remove as much mud as possible with a blunt knife or a spatula.
Allow the mud to dry and then remove it with a vacuum cleaner. For stubborn
marks, use only ordinary water-based cleaning agents. Alternatively, mix
2 tablespoons of ammonia solution with 1 litre of water. Gently dab the mark
with a cloth moistened with this solution. Turn the cloth frequently so that the
mark only comes into contact with a clean part of the cloth.

Pencil Use only mild, water-free and clean textile cleaning agents. Moisten a cloth
with the agent. Gently dab the mark with a cloth moistened with this solution.
Turn the cloth frequently so that the mark only comes into contact with a clean
part of the cloth.

Vomit Carefully clean up the vomit and wash it out with cold water. Use only ordinary
water-based cleaning agents. Alternatively, mix 2 tablespoons of ammoniac
with 1 litre of water. Gently dab the mark with a cloth moistened with this solu-
tion. Turn the cloth frequently so that the mark only comes into contact with a
clean part of the cloth.

11.5 Winter care

De-icing salt damages the underbody and the parts open to water spray. We
recommend that you wash the vehicle more frequently during wintertime.
Mechanical and surface treated parts and the underside are under particular
strain, and should therefore be cleaned thoroughly.
Z If there is any risk of frost, always run heater at a minimum of 15 °C. Switch
the circulation fan (if there is one) to automatic. In the case of extreme
external temperatures, the furniture flaps and doors should be left slightly
open. The inflowing warm air can help prevent the freezing of water pipes,
for example, and counteract the formation of condensation in the storage
spaces.
Z If there is any risk of frost, cover the outside surface of the windows with
winter insulation mats.
Z Keep the waste gas vent, skylights with forced ventilation and mushroom-
shaped vents free of snow. For a roof vent, use a vent extension which is
at least 10 cm (4 inch) long.

11.6 Lay-up
11.6.1 Temporary lay-up
X If the vehicle has been stationary for a long period (approx. 10 months)
have the braking and gas systems checked by an authorised specialist
workshop.
X Take into consideration that water is undrinkable after only a short time.
X Animal damage to cables can lead to short circuits. Fire hazard!

Animals (especially mice) can cause great damage to the interior of the
vehicle. This is especially true if the animal remains undisturbed in a parked
vehicle.
The animals can get into the vehicle at an opportune moment and hide from
view.
To keep damages from animals to a minimum or to avoid them altogether, reg-
ularly check the vehicle for damage or animal traces. This is especially impor-
tant approx. 24 hours after parking the car in storage.
If animal traces are found, contact the authorised dealer or service centre. If
damage to cables has occurred, they can result in short circuits. The vehicle
could catch fire.
Before laying up the vehicle, go through the following checklist:

114 Touring - 04/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 2048869 - HYW-0102-09EN

 Care 11

Activities Done
Chassis Lubricate the moving parts of the caravan coupling

X Do not lubricate the friction pads on the stabiliser!

Jack up caravan with suitable support so that the wheels do not bear
any load, or move caravan every four weeks. This prevents any
pressure points from occurring on tyres and wheel bearings

Z Never use the fitted corner steadies as a car jack but only
external support.
Protect the tyres from direct exposure to the sun. Danger of forma-
tion of cracks!
Inflate tyres up to the recommended maximum pressure
Always provide for sufficient ventilation in the underbody area

Z Humidity or lack of oxygen e.g. by covering with plastic film

may cause optical irregularities to the underbody.

Body All vents should be sealed with the appropriate caps and all other
openings (apart from forced ventilations) should also be sealed. This
prevents animals (e.g. mice) from gaining entry
Air the interior, all storage compartments accessible from the out-
side, and the parking space (e.g. garage) every 3 weeks in order to
prevent the occurrence of condensation and resulting mould forma-
tion

Interior Place upholstery in an upright position for ventilation, and cover

Clean refrigerator
Allow refrigerator and freezer compartment doors to remain slightly
open
Search for traces of animals that have gained entry
Disconnect the flat screen from the mains and, if necessary, remove
it from the vehicle

Chapter overview
12Customer service and maintenance

This chapter contains instructions about inspection and maintenance work

concerning the vehicle.
The maintenance instructions address the following topics:
z stabilisers
z replacing light bulbs
z adjusting the tension of the springs on the blinds
z spare parts
At the end of the chapter you will find the HYMER service numbers and impor-
tant instructions on how to obtain spare parts.

12.1 Inspection work

Like any technical appliance, the vehicle must be inspected at regular inter-
vals.
This inspection work must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Special technical knowledge, which cannot be taught within the framework of
this instruction manual, is required for these tasks. Personnel with this tech-
nical knowledge are available for assistance at all authorised dealers and
service centres. Their experience and regular technical instruction by the fac-
tory as well as equipment and tools guarantee expert and up-to-date inspec-
tion of the vehicle.
The service centre in charge will confirm the work performed.
Z Observe the inspections indicated by the manufacturer and have them car-
ried out at the specified intervals. The value of the vehicle is thus pre-
served.
Z The confirmation of the inspection work carried out serves as valid proof in
the event of damage and guarantee claims.

12.2 Maintenance work

As with every machine, this vehicle requires maintenance. The extent and fre-
quency of the maintenance work required depend on conditions of operation
and use. More difficult operating conditions make it necessary to service the
vehicle more often.
Have the appliances serviced at the intervals specified in the corresponding
instruction manuals.

12.3 Stabilisers
12.3.1 General
Clean the stabiliser and the coupling head regularly. Use either thinners or
white spirit. When lubricating the stabiliser ensure that no lubricant is on the
friction pads.

Chapter overview
13Wheels and tyres

This chapter contains instructions regarding the tyres of the vehicle.

The instructions address the following topics:
z tyre selection
z handling of tyres
z changing wheels
z spare wheel support
z tyre pressure
At the end of the chapter there is a table you can use to find the correct tyre
pressure for your vehicle.

13.1 General
X Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.

Z Only check the tyre pressure on cold tyres.

Z Tubeless tyres have been installed on the vehicle. Never install tubes in
these tyres.

Z In the case of a puncture, pull over to the side of the road. Make vehicle
and caravan safe with a hazard warning triangle. Switch on the warning
lights.
Z Tyres must not be older than 6 years as the material will become brittle
over time. The four-digit DOT number on the tyre flank indicates the date
of manufacture. The first two digits designate the week, the last two digits
the year of manufacture.
Example: Week 05, year of manufacture 2011.

Observe: „ Check the tyres regularly (every 2 weeks) for equal tread wear, tread depth
and external damage.
„ Replace tyres at the latest, when the minimum depth of tread stipulated by
law is reached.
„ Always use tyres of the same model, same brand and same style (summer
and winter tyres).
„ Only use tyres approved for the wheel rim type fitted. The permitted rim and
tyre sizes are quoted in the vehicle documents and the authorised dealer
or service centre will always be glad to give you advice.
„ Run-in new tyres for approx. 100 km (60 miles) at low speed since only
then do they reach full strength.

13 Wheels and tyres

Fig. 111 Tighten the wheel nuts or

wheel bolts cross-wise

„ Check regularly that the wheel nuts or wheel bolts are firmly seated. Re-
tighten the wheel nuts or wheel bolts of a changed wheel cross-wise
(Fig. 111) after 50 km (30 miles).
See section 13.5.2 for tightening torque.
„ When using new or newly painted rims, re-tighten the wheel nuts or wheel
bolts once again after approx. 1,000 to 5,000 km (600 miles to
3,000 miles).
„ For lay-ups or long periods of inactivity, keep the tyres and tyre bearings
free from pressure points:
Jack up the vehicle so that the wheels do not bear any load, or move the
vehicle every 4 weeks in such a way that the position of the wheels is
changed.

13.2 Tyre selection

X A wrong tyre can damage the tyres during the journey and even cause
it to burst.

Z If tyres that are not approved for the vehicle are used, then the type
approval for the vehicle and subsequently the insurance coverage can
lapse. The authorised dealer or service centre will be happy to advise you.

The tyre sizes approved for the vehicle are given in the vehicle documents or
can be obtained from the authorised dealers or service centres. Each tyre
must fit the vehicle on which it will be driven. This applies to the external
dimensions (diameter, width), which are indicated with the standardised size
designations. In addition, the tyres must meet the requirements of the vehicle
with regard to weight and speed.
Weight refers to the maximum permissible axle load which can be distributed
on two tyres. The maximum load-carrying capacity of a tyre is indicated by its
load index (= LI, load index code).
The maximum permissible speed for a tyre (with full load-carrying capacity) is
indicated by the speed index (= SI). Together, load index and speed index
form the operating code of a tyre. This is an official component of the com-
plete, standardised dimensions description which appears on every tyre. The
information on the tyres must correspond to the specifications which appear in
the vehicle papers.

Q Speed index (Q = 160 km/h)

13.4 Handling of tyres

„ Drive over kerbs at an obtuse angle. Otherwise the flanks of the tyres may
get pinched. Driving over a kerb at a sharp angle can damage the tyre and
result in it getting ruptured.
„ Drive over high manhole covers at a slow speed. Otherwise the tyres may
get pinched. Driving over a high manhole cover at high speed can damage
the tyre and result in it getting ruptured.
„ Check the shock absorbers regularly. Driving with poor shock absorbers
significantly increases wear.
„ Avoid block brakings. Block braking gives the tyres "brake plates" of var-
ying strength. This reduces driving comfort. It might even make the tyres
unserviceable.
„ Do not clean the tyres with a high-pressure cleaner. The tyres can suffer
serious damage within just a few seconds and rupture as a result.

13.5 Changing wheels

13.5.1 General instructions
The spare wheel is located underneath the vehicle at the rear or behind a
cover at the rear. Use a commercial scissor-type jack to change the wheel.

X The vehicle must be on level, firm ground, secure from slipping.

X Before jacking up the vehicle firmly apply the handbrake.
X Prevent the vehicle from rolling away by blocking the opposite wheel
with the wheel chocks.
X Under no circumstances jack the vehicle with the fitted supports.
X Position the vehicle jack underneath the axle, not under any circum-
stances on the bodywork.
X Never overload the vehicle jack. The maximum permissible load is spec-
ified on the vehicle jack's identification plate.
X Use the vehicle jack only for lifting the vehicle briefly while changing the
tyre.
X Whilst the vehicle is in a jacked up position, persons must not lie down
under it.

Z Do not damage the thread of the thread bolt or wheel nut when changing
the wheel.
Z Tighten the wheel nuts or wheel bolts cross-wise (Fig. 111).
Z When changing wheels (e.g. alloy wheel rims or wheels with winter tyres),
use the correct wheel bolts of the correct length and shape. Otherwise the
wheels may not be securely fixed or the braking system may not work cor-
rectly.
Z The use of wheel rims or tyres that are not approved for the vehicle can
make it less than fully roadworthy; such wheel rims or tyres must be sepa-
rately inspected and approved by an accredited test centre.

Z Protect the vehicle according to the national regulations, e.g. with a hazard
warning triangle.
Z Before changing the wheel, check the wheel rim and tyre size, the max. tyre
load and the speed index on the tyres. Only use the wheel rim and tyre
sizes stated in the vehicle documents.
Z When alloy wheel rims are mounted, the wheel nuts or wheel bolts for the
spare wheel (steel wheel rim) are located in the drawer in the kitchen unit.

13.5.4 Changing a wheel at alloy wheel rims

X The resting surfaces of the wheels on the break drums must be clean
and free of burrs.
X Only use fastening parts provided for to loosen the wheels lightly and
ensure that they rest correctly and move freely, subsequently tighten the
wheel bolts cross-wise with a suitable wrench.
X Many axles do not have a centring aid, flange or bolts. It must be
ensured that the wheel bolts are equally centered above the bolt circle
(no jamming).
X Alloy wheel rims and steel wheel rims require different wheel bolts.
When alloy wheel rims are mounted, the spare wheel (steel wheel rim)
is accompanied by suitable wheel bolts.

To release and fix the secured alloy wheel rim use the suitable spanner for
removal of the wheel hub cap and the anti-theft locking nut.

„ Gradually lower the basket with the spare wheel, until the basket is on the
ground.
„ Pull the spare wheel out of the basket.

Z Every time the basket is closed, ensure that the basket is correctly secured
with the cotter pin.

13.7 Tyre pressure

X Tyres overheat if the tyre pressure is too low. This can cause serious
tyre damage.
X Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
X Use only valves that are approved for the specified tyre pressure.

Z Only check the tyre pressure on cold tyres.

The payload and the durability of tyres is directly dependent on the tyre pres-
sure. Air is a volatile medium. It is unavoidable that it will escape from tyres.
As a rule of thumb it can be assumed that a filled tyre loses pressure at a rate
of 0.1 bar every two months. To prevent the tyres becoming damaged or burst,
check the tyre pressure regularly.
Z The information on pressure levels is valid for cold tyres and loaded vehi-
cles.
Z Pressure in hot tyres must be 0.3 bar higher than in cold tyres. Recheck the
pressure when the tyres are cold.
Z Tyre pressures in bar.
Z The tyre pressure tolerance is +/- 0.05 bar.
