4. Caravan Registration Identification Scheme (C.R.I.S) and This caravan has been security marked and recorded under CRiS, this is the Central Registration & Identification Scheme that issues touring caravan registration documents, equivalent to that of the V5 registration document issues by the DVLA for cars.
5. COUNTRY AND COASTAL CODE Upon arrival at your destination you should be aware of the Country Code. Code of Conduct – Camp sites Check the site regulations Arrivals Report to reception immediately on arrival Vehicle Movement Keep to roadways unless otherwise directed Adhere to speed limits. Note that these are generally 10 mph whilst on site. (Remember that the stopping distance on grass is considerably greater than on tarmac.) Only a person in possession of a current driving licence may drive on site.
your interest, there is a lot to learn, but please observe the following code. Guard against all risk of fires. Hay and heath land catch alight easily and once ablaze are very hard to put out. Remember Fire spreads quickly. Keep to the public paths across farmland. Use gates and stiles to cross fences, hedges and walls. Leave livestock, crops and machinery alone. View from a distance. Take your litter home; - it is unsightly and harmful to wildlife. Help to keep all water clean.
! Under no circumstances should the caravan ventilation be covered, blocked or tampered with in any way. Petrol and Diesel Fumes The fitting of a tail pipe deflector to your exhaust will reduce the possibility of fumes entering your caravan through the front fixed ventilation points. However, an extension fitted to an exhaust tail pipe will be illegal if it projects beyond the vehicle body or bumper. Original Equipment Appliances See sections devoted to individual appliance.
6. CARAVAN AND TOW VEHICLE. 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 the caravan. Caravan and Towing Vehicle Terms Maximum Technically permissible laden mass: As stated by the vehicle manufacturer.
The caravan to towing vehicle weight ratio: This can be determined by calculation and is equal to: Actual laden mass of caravan 100% Kerb Weight of Towing vehicle The greater the towing vehicle’s tail overhang (the distance between the rear axle and the towball) the greater the effect the noseweight will have on the towing vehicle’s rear suspension.
Where a designated attachment point is provided on the towbar: c) That it is not slack that it can drag on the ground. If left loose, the cable may scrape along the ground and be weakened so that it subsequently fails to do its job. The cable may also be caught on an obstacle when in motion thus engaging the caravan’s brakes prematurely. Having followed this advice, should you feel that a satisfactory coupling arrangement cannot be achieved, consult your trailer or towbar supplier or service agent.
Noseweight It is recommended that the noseweight should be varied to find the optimum for towing dependent upon the actual laden weight of the caravan. Experience has shown that the noseweight should be approximately 7% of the actual laden weight (i.e. between 50 and 100kg). However, this may be limited by the towing vehicle or caravan manufacturer’s limit noseweight. Check with the car and caravan handbook, or consult your retailer. The upper limit for the caravan coupling head is 100Kg. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
Hitching the caravan to the tow vehicle 1. Ensure that the caravan is in a suitable position, and secure with the handbrake fully on. 2. Fully Raise all four corner steadies 3. Shut and lock the caravan exterior. 4. Gauge the height of the car’s towball then raise or lower the height of the caravan’s towing hitch to ensure that it is high enough to pass over it cleanly and not hit the tow ball. Rotating the caravans jockey wheel handle can do this. Clockwise to lower, AntiClockwise to raise. 5.
and the secondary braking cable is connected. 25. Adjust the car’s driving mirrors from the driving seat to ensure good rearward visibility. 7. TOWING Speed Limits Where a lower limit is not in force, caravans may be towed at up to a maximum of 50 mph on single carriageways or 60 mph on dual carriageways and motorways. Pulling Away Allow more engine speed to produce the power to move the additional weight of the caravan.
The width of the caravan when being towed. The width of the towing vehicle when driven solo. Any additional rear view mirror fitted shall be of an approved European type and cover the field of view as stipulated by the regulators. ! Passengers are forbidden to ride in a caravan at any time. Snaking This is a term used to denote an unstable car and caravan combination where the caravan ‘weaves’ from side to side often causing a similar swaying movement in the car itself.
9. UNHITCHING. Do not pitch in a position in which your outfit will obstruct other people. Try to choose an area that is dry, reasonably level and preferably with a hard base. If you have no alternative but to pitch on a slope ensure that , for when you leave, you are facing down the slope. It is good practice to chock the wheels of the caravan when parked on a slope even though the caravan brakes are applied. Fully apply the caravan handbrake. Un-clamp and lower the jockey wheel to the ground.
10. WHEELS AND TYRES. Tyres The tyres fitted by Bailey Caravans are Michelin car and van tyres for the Unicorn and Pegasus range and Security Tyres for the Pursuit range. They are suitable for towing at sustained speeds of up to 81mph (130 kph) to allow for use in countries which permit these speeds. 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.
areas are clean and dry. Wheel bolts should never be lubricated. 11. SPARE WHEEL CARRIER Unicorn and Pegasus Models Spare Wheels- Optional extras with some models. The spare wheel fitted to your caravan is an unbranded tyre. 1. Always ensure that the tow vehicle and caravan are in a safe position before attempting to change the caravan’s wheel. We recommend leaving the caravan hitched to the tow vehicle when changing the caravan’s wheel.
The WSL Caravan Wheel Safety Bolt The ground-breaking bespoke locking safety wheel bolt. A high safety margin with a considerable increase in clamping force and bolt extension. Tested and verified by the world-renowned Bolt Science. Fitted as standard to Unicorn II, Pegasus GT65 and Pursuit ranges. Retrofit available for all previous Bailey Caravans.

12. THE AL-KO CARAVAN CHASSIS Chassis members The recommended tow vehicle coupling height is 385mm +/- 35mm from the ground to the centre of the ball. Off Road vehicles are exempt from this towball height specification. Manufactured from high quality steel, the chassis has extra deep sections to provide strength at points of maximum stress. Large elongated holes are punched in the longitudinal and towbar, (‘A’ frame) members, to reduce weight to a minimum.
Operating instructions Coupling handle and stabilising lever. The Stabiliser lever (Fig 2/ Item 2) must be in the uppermost position (open). Coupling Pull the coupling handle (Fig. 3/Item 1) up in the direction of the arrow. The coupling mechanism has an open position i.e. as long as the AKS 3004 is not placed on the ball, the handle will remain open. Put the opened coupling onto the clean towball. The handle must now make an audible click and return to the flat position. Fig 2.
Manoeuvring operation For easier manoeuvring (on camp sites etc), pull the stabiliser lever to the ‘up’ position. Please do not use the stabiliser lever as a manoeuvring handle. Please use the handles on the Caravan or fit the AL-KO manoeuvring handle to your jockey wheel (available separately). 1) During opening or closing, the AKS must only be operated by one person. 2) Press stabiliser lever down by hand force only DO NOT use your foot or an extension bar, this will damage the components (Fig. 6).
Braking system adjustment (At 500 miles, then every 3,000 miles or 1 year) Fig 8. i. Ensure the towing shaft with coupling heads is pulled fully forward (fig. 8). ii. Release the handbrake to the fully off position. If the handbrake will not go down the whole way because of the fairing or any other obstruction; then the fairing must be cut away and/or the obstruction removed to achieve this desired position.
xvi. If difficulty is experienced in this operation, try easing the caravan backwards with one hand while engaging the handbrake fully with the other. This manoeuvre should not be attempted on a rearwards facing slope. In this case wheel chocks should be used combined with the handbrake. xvii. Finally, if the road wheels have been removed, retighten using a calibrated Torque Wrench to 130Nmon all M12 wheel bolts - in sequence, i.e. North, South, East, West not clock or anticlockwise.

160 Coupling head AL-KO ball-type coupling drawbars are to be used with trailer balls Ø50 as per guideline 94/20 EC. Safety Information After each coupling check the correct seat of the balltype coupling on the ball on the towing vehicle. If correct coupling does not take place then the trailer can remove itself from the towing vehicle and there is danger of an accident. Swivel range from vertical ± 25° and horizontal ±20° (Fig. 1). If this is exceeded the components will be overloaded.
• Trailer ball in new state Ø 50 - ball type coupling drawbar shows increased wear. ! The ball type coupling drawbar can come off - the trailer can detach itself from the towing vehicle! Have the ball type coupling drawbar and trailer ball checked IMMEDIATELY! Replace the worn part IMMEDIATELY. All maintenance work is to be carried out by specialist workshops authorised by AL-KO (AL-KO service stations).
13. TRACKER MONITOR- UNICORN Operating Instructions Tracker Monitor for caravans is armed and disarmed by an alarm. Triggering the alarm siren does NOT generate an alert from the Tracker Monitor unit. To Arm To arm the Tracker Monitor system, press the button on the remote control once. The siren will beep twice. After 45 seconds the alarm system will arm. After a further five minute delay the Tracker Monitor system will arm.
Q My caravan is in secure storage on a farm/ compound. Do I need to check my leisure battery? A Yes, you must check the charge of your battery and recharge if necessary. This will depend on your leisure battery’s capacity, age and state of charge. This will be required at intervals of between 3 to 6 months.
14 THE WATER SYSTEM 14 a. THE UNICORN WATER SYSTEM taps after the water heater has been switched on as steam can spurt from the tap whilst the hot water system is filling. This water system has an on board pump which is located in the vehicle (usually under a bed bunk). The exterior fitment is simply a filter in which your inboard pump draws the water from the external water container. Priming the System using the External Water Container 1.
Draining and Winterisation of the Water System The Bailey Unicorn Caravan maybe in use all the year round, but when they are not in use, even for short periods, this procedure should be followed. One night in freezing temperatures is all that it is required for expensive, permanent damage to water system components. Waste (Grey Water System.) The waste water (often referred to as ‘grey’ water) from the caravan’s sinks and shower tray are outed to two outlets just behind the offside wheel.
Water System Trouble Shooting FAULT Pump Doesn’t run CAUSE SOLUTION No Power to pump Check power supply Attach leads/clean connections Fuse has blown Replace fuse (do not exceed recommended fuse size.) Blockage in pipework Check pipework for kinks. Check Water tank is not empty. Check filter is not blocked. No water getting to pump Pump runs but no water appears Remove each valve lever, tighten the nut located below the valve lever and replace the lever.
14 b. THE PEGASUS GT65 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. This pump is designed to make easier, the connection of an outside water supply to the caravan system. The Whale Water-master comprises of a wall socket, plug complete with hose and submersible pump. The plug and socket combine both the water and electric connections.
Adjusting your Pressure Switch Your pressure switch is factory set and should not normally require adjustment. However, adjustment may be required if the power supply voltage has varied from the previous setting, either due to battery drainage or higher voltage being supplied when the battery charger is operating.
Helpful Hints To obtain efficient running and maximum life, ensure the following: • There is sufficient water in the container –do not run the pump when dry. • Maximum pumping period is not more than 15 minutes. • All hose connections are firm and water tight • The power supply is adequate- low performance could result from a weak battery or reduced voltage due to thin wiring (we recommend wiring should be a minimum thickness of 2.
14C Truma Instructions Ultraflow Operating dust cover (8) is to stop contaminates falling into the water container. Raise the lid, clean both the water socket and the plug of the pump assembly. To remove the pump assembly from the Ultraflow Compact Housing, pull the trigger and pull out the hose plug. ! Do not remove by pulling the hose or electrical cable. Routine Maintenance Ensure that the O-ring seal in the hose plug and the socket are free from dirt.
15. THE GAS SYSTEM All gas appliances fitted to your Bailey caravan are suitable for operation on both Butane and Propane without the need for adjustment. General information Gas Cylinders: Bottled Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) is the most convenient portable source of fuel for your caravan. Cylinders are available in the following sizes: Calor Gas = 3.9kg, 4.5kg, 6kg & 7kg. BP Gaslight = 5kg & 10kg. All sizes will fit into your gas box.
• Fit plastic protecting cap to cylinder With the full cylinder: • Before placing cylinder in the cradle ensure that the tray is clean and free from any debris. Cleaning should be carried out only with warm soapy water. • Place cylinder in cradle in gas locker. • Remove plastic protector from cylinder • Connect the gas hose. • Connect retaining strap • Turn on cylinder valve and then systematically relight appliances as required Gas safety advice LPG is not poisonous.
16. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – 230 VOLT As in the home, care must be exercised when handling mains electricity. Your attention is drawn to the following notice as laid down by the Institute of Electrical Engineers. Instructions for electricity supply - low voltage (230 v) On arrival at caravan site Before connecting the caravan installation to the main supply: Check that the mains supply is suitable for your installation and appliances, i.e. whether it is a.c. or d.c.
by switching to the ON position. (Against the spring pressure in an upwards direction). If an earth fault develops or a person was to touch a live piece of equipment the leakage of current to earth should immediately operate the RCD (residual current device) and ‘trip’ the main switch, to the OFF position. This switch is only re-settable after elimination of the fault. To re-set, operate the switch as for M.C.B’s.
A battery of not less than 40-50 amperes/hours capacity is recommended, crocodile clips should never be used to connect the battery, and terminals should be shrouded. Always switch off all appliances and lamps before disconnecting the auxiliary battery. The battery should be secured to prevent movement when towing. Metal objects should not be stored in the battery box. Where a 12V extension is used between the tow-car and caravan, this should not exceed 5 metres in length minimum cable size 2.
