Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION CARAVAN REGISTRATION AND IDENTIFICATION SCHEME (C.R.I.S) This caravan has been security marked and recorded under the Caravan Registration and Identification Scheme that is organised by the Caravan Industry. Shortly after purchasing this caravan you should receive your Touring Caravan Registration Document. It will be sent by post to your home address.
Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION SAFETY This handbook contains the information that you will require for safe enjoyment of your tourer. All of the information contained herein is important. However to draw your attention to specific items we have prefixed them as Cautions and Warnings. Cautions are Items that if ignored can result in the caravan becoming damaged. Warnings are items that if ignored can cause the user(s) physical harm.
Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION vi) Never use portable cooking or heating equipment, other than electric heaters that are not direct radiant type, as it is a fire and asphyxiation hazard. vii) Your tourer is a compact living environment, and appliances should be treated in the same way as those in the home to prevent any accidental burning scalding - keep young children away from hot surfaces. viii) Your tourer is supplied with a EN164 approved caravan step.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Introduction: Choosing the right car and caravan combination for safe and stable towing is both an art and a science. It may seem complicated to the newcomer, but a few minutes spent understanding the basic principles, common terms and definitions in use will be worthwhile in ensuring your enjoyment of our product. Caravan and towing vehicle terms Maximum technically permissible laden mass: As stated by the vehicle manufacturer.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Note: i. Please take care to ensure that you have allowed for the masses of all items you intend to carry in the caravan. E.g. optional equipment, essential habitation equipment and personal effects such as clothing, food, bicycles, sailboard, sports equipment etc. The actual laden mass of the caravan as towed should thus not exceed the maximum technically permissible laden mass. The actual laden mass can be measured on a public weighbridge. N.B.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Another simple method is to use bathroom scales and a suitable piece of strong timber as a platform to rest the tow hitch on. The timber can be placed vertically between the caravan tow hitch and the bathroom scales. The timber should be of such length that when the caravan tow hitch is lowered onto it, using the jockey wheel, the caravan floor is horizontal. The weight can then be measured.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE YES 85% NO MAYBE EQUAL 9
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE ii. Above 1600cc petrol or 1800cc diesel such engines should manage a caravan weighing up to 100% of the kerb weight of the towing vehicle and still give adequate performance. The towing vehicle manufacturer’s towing limit is, in some cases, less than the kerb weight. Vehicles with automatic transmission may need an oil cooler fitted or the SAE rating of the gearbox fluid increased when towing. The advice of the vehicle manufacturer should be sought.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Secondary braking cable (Break away device) Always ensure this is looped around a secure part of the towing bracket or towing vehicle and secured back on itself with the spring clip provided. Never loop it around the towball. Warning: it is a legal requirement to use this device on the road and it must be used.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE LIGHT ITEMS INCORRECT INCORRECT CORRECT 12 MEDIUM ITEMS HEAVY ITEMS
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE 3. Tyre pressures are correct according to the service handbook (remember to check the spare as well) 4. Ensue all loose articles are stowed securely Caution: do not store heavy items in roof lockers. Televisions must always be secured at floor level when towing. 5. All lockers and cupboard doors are closed and secured 6. All bunks are secure 7. All rooflights, extractor fans and sunroofs are closed and secured 8. Tables are securely stored in their transit positions 9.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Warning: all gas appliances and the gas bottles must be turned off whilst towing Warning: it is recommended that a minimum of 2 people work together when hitching up the caravan to the tow vehicle. To hitch the caravan to the tow vehicle Ensure that the caravan is in a suitable position, and secure with the handbrake fully on. Fully raise all four corner steadies. Shut and lock the caravan exterior.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE The final positioning should be carried out by maneuvering the caravan by hand. Carefully release the caravan handbrake. Manoeuvre the caravan by hand to position the caravan’s tow hitch directly over the car’s tow ball. Caution: always manoeuvre the caravan by pushing /pulling on the grab handles only. Not the body panels. Raise the handle on the caravan tow hitch until it clicks and remains at an angle.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Connect both the grey and black 7 pin plugs to the car’s relevant sockets ensuring there is enough loose cable for cornering, but not too much which can drag on the ground. Check all car and caravan road lights are working and the operation of the brake lights. Pick up any leveling pads or leveling boards. Check round the caravan for anything left behind. Fully release the caravan’s handbrake.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Caravan handling Allow for the caravan being slightly wider than the car. Allow additional distance from the kerb with caravan wheels so that they are not ‘bumped’. When passing other vehicles allow more than the normal clearance for driving solo. Overtaking and stopping distances are increased when you are towing. Always indicate in plenty of time before carrying out any manoeuvre. Allow longer to accelerate up speed prior to overtaking.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE space as is possible between your caravan and the high sided vehicle. Mirrors The Law requires the driver of the towing vehicle to have an adequate view to the rear. If there is no rear view through the caravan windows it may be necessary to have additional exterior towing mirrors fitted to provide a view along both sides of the caravan. In some countries these additional mirrors are a legal requirement. Any rear view mirror must not project more than 200mm outside...
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE vii. Being overtaken by a high-sided vehicle. viii. Erratic driving. ix. Mixing radial and cross ply tyres. x. Nose of caravan is towing too high. xi. Insufficient noseweight. For best stability aim at an 85% ratio of weights (see page 10). Stabilisers A stabiliser should never be used to try to improve a caravan/towing vehicle combination that has poor stability as instability may appear at higher speed.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Towing vehicles with the 12N &12S plugs wired to accept caravans of any make or model manufactured prior to model year 1999 may need their wiring configuration altered. If the tow car has only a single 13-pin socket, an adapter lead will be required to fit the caravan.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Types of tyres fitted The tyres fitted by Bailey Caravans are suitable for towing at sustained speeds of up to 81 mph (130 kph) to allow for use in countries which permit this speed. Radial and cross ply tyres should never be mixed. It is dangerous and can cause snaking. Fit only tyres that are of the identical specification on each side. Tyre Wear and Damage The legal requirements for tread depth (1.6mm) on motor vehicles apply also to caravans.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE otherwise be affected. Check all pressures only when tyres are cold. Warning: always check your caravan and tow vehicle tyre pressures prior to any journey. Consult your tow vehicle manufacture for the correct tow vehicle tyre pressures for towing. Wheels Caravan wheel bolts must always only be tightened to the correct torque setting of (65 lbs-ft), in sequence (i.e. North, South, East, West), never clock or anti-clockwise. Always use a calibrated torque wrench.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Changing a Wheel i. Unhitch caravan and ensure handbrake is applied. ii. Lower corner steadies as safety measure to stabilise the caravan. Chock the un-punctured wheel on the opposite side of the caravan to prevent any movement. iii. Slacken off wheel nuts on the wheel to be changed. iv. Place the jack plate under the axle tube as near as possible to the main longitudinal member. v. Jack up the caravan until the wheel for removal is just off the ground. vi.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Re-clamp it in this position. Operate the locking button on the hitch head and move the handle forward to release the mechanism. Operate the jockey wheel handle until the coupling head is clear of the towing ball. Caution: Serious damage will occur unless the locking button is depressed first and the handle lifted forward before the caravan is lifted manually. This prevents the noseweight being transmitted through the locking button. Re-clamp jockey wheel if necessary.
Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE Towing brackets All tow cars registered since 1 August 1998 must be fitted with a European type-approved towing bracket, by law. It is recommended that other cars not affected by this law use only towing brackets designed and tested to British Standard BS (AU) 114b, or ISO 3853.
Chapter 3 CARAVAN SERVICE SYSTEMS THE WATER SYSTEM Water Supply All models are supplied with a 12 volt submersible pump, controlled by a pressure switch. The water inlet is located in the off-side exterior wall, protected by a lift up lid. The Submersible Pump 1. Operation i. Raise watermaster housing lid, (it is advisable to liberally lubricate inlet nipple ‘O’ rings with vegetable oil or Vaseline, this reduces the friction between ‘O’ rings and plastic surface of the pump plug assembly). ii.
