Introduction 2 Please read this instruction manual completely before using the vehicle for the first time! 2Introduction Always keep this instruction manual in the vehicle. Also inform all other users of the safety regulations. The non-observance of this symbol can lead to personal injury. The non-observance of this symbol can lead to damage being caused to, or inside the vehicle. This symbol indicates recommendations or special aspects.
2 Introduction The reprinting, translation and copying, including extracts is not permitted without prior written authorisation from the manufacturer. 2.1 The vehicle comes without a wheelbrace and vehicle jack. We suggest you obtain a commercially available wheelbrace before you first use your caravan, in case of an emergency.
Introduction Caravan - 09-08 - DET-0030-08 EN 2 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. When parked, do not allow the engine of the towing vehicle to run more than necessary. When running idle, a cold engine releases more contaminants than usual. The running temperature of the engine is achieved more quickly whilst the vehicle is in motion.

Safety 3 Chapter overview 3Safety This chapter contains important safety instructions. The safety instructions are for the protection of persons and property. The instructions address the following topics: 3.1 3.1.1 Fire prevention Avoidance of fire risks 3.1.2 Never leave children in the vehicle unattended. Keep flammable materials clear of heating and cooking appliances. Lights can get very hot.
3 Safety 3.2 General 3.3 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.
Safety 3.4 EN During the journey, no persons are to travel inside the caravan. In case of underpasses, tunnels or similar obstacles, note the total height of the vehicle (including the roof load). In winter, the roof must be free of snow and ice before commencing the journey. Before commencing the journey, empty the waste water tank. Push in fully the drive-on ramp and lock it into place before commencing the journey.
3 Safety 3.5 3.5.1 Gas system General instructions 22 Close all gas isolator taps and the regulator tap before commencing the journey and when leaving the vehicle. No appliance operated via the built-in burner (e.g. heater or refrigerator) may be in operation when filling the tank, on ferries or in the garage. Danger of explosion! Do not use appliances operated with a burner in closed spaces (e.g. garages).
Safety 3.5.2 EN 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. Do not use the gas bottle compartment as storage space as it is not moisture-proof. Secure the gas bottle compartment against unauthorised access. To do this, lock the compartment.
3 Safety 3.6 Electrical system 3.7 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. Only use original fuses with the stipulated values. Only replace defective fuses when the cause of the defect is known and has been remedied. Never bridge or repair fuses. Water system 24 Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.
Before the journey Chapter overview 4 4Before the journey This chapter contains important information which has to be noted before commencing your journey or carrying out any tasks before the journey.
4 Before the journey Connecting: 4.4 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 antirolling 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.
Before the journey 4.4.1 WS 3000 D stabiliser Fig. 1 Connecting: 4 WS 3000 D stabiliser Pull the coupling handle (Fig. 1,1) upwards into position "Open" (Fig. 1,2). Stabiliser is open. Set down the open stabiliser on the caravan ball of the towing vehicle and release the coupling handle. The handle glides automatically back to its initial position (Fig. 1,3). In addition, push the coupling handle down with your hand (not with your foot). Closing and securing is carried out automatically.
4 Before the journey 4.5 Detaching Detaching: 4.6 Care is to be taken when connecting and detaching a trailer. Risk of accident and injury! In addition, observe the safety instructions with respect to connecting included in this instruction manual. Apply the caravan handbrake. Place the wheel chocks behind both of the wheels. Remove the connector plug of the caravan from the towing vehicle socket and insert it in the holder on the drawbar.
4 Before the journey 4.6.1 Terms Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition 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. All specifications according to EU norm DIN EN 1645-2. The maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition is the weight that a vehicle may never exceed.
4 Before the journey Additional equipment Additional equipment includes accessories and special equipment. Examples of additional equipment include: Roof rail Spare wheel Awning Bike rack Satellite unit Microwave oven Hot water supply Chapter 16 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.
Before the journey 4 The payload (see section 4.6.1) is the difference in weight between Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and Vehicle mass complete in a ready-to-drive condition.
4 Before the journey Fig. 3 Incorrectly loaded Loads stored apart from each other (Fig. 3) lead to inclination to skid. Roof loads impair the driving characteristics and move the centre of gravity upwards. This increases the inclination to skid. Fig. 4 Correctly loaded 4.6.4 Incorrect weight distribution Correct weight distribution 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.
Before the journey 4 Caravan load The caravan load (Fig. 5,1) stipulated in the towing vehicle documents provides information as to the maximum weight which the towing vehicle is permitted 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 permissible gross weight of 1,200 kg and in fact weighs 900 kg, it can be loaded with another 300 kg.
4 Before the journey 4.6.6 Do not overload the roof. Road behaviour and brake reaction deteriorate as the roof load increases. If the vehicle is equipped with a roof rail, load racks can be mounted on the roof rail for roof loads (e.g. for surfboards, rubber boats or light canoes). Special girder systems are available as accessory. Your dealer will be pleased to advise you. The maximum permissible roof load is 50 kg. The vehicle roof is not suitable for localised load.
Before the journey Loading the vehicle via the drive-on ramp 4 The vehicle is easier to load via the drive-on ramp. Fig. 6 Securing the drive-on ramp Fig. 7 Drive-on ramp (pulled out) Open the rear flap (see chapter 7). Remove the cotter pin (Fig. 6,3) and bolt (Fig. 6,2) on the drive-on ramp (Fig. 6,1). Hold the drive-on ramp in the horizontal position and pull it out to the rear as far as possible. Lay the drive-on ramp on the ground (Fig. 7). Insert the edge guard (Fig.
4 Before the journey Holder in the TV cabinet The flat screen is attached to a console in the TV cabinet. Fig. 8 Storing the flat screen: Holder with jointed arm Rotate the flat screen to its initial position and lock it into place. Insert the holder for the flat screen on the handle (Fig. 8,1) until the latch (Fig. 8,2) locks into place. Close TV cabinet. The flat screen is fastened to a jointed arm. Fig.
Before the journey 4.9 4 Road safety 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. Before commencing the journey, work through the checklist: No.
4 Before the journey Gas system Electrical system No.
During the journey Chapter overview 5 5During the journey This chapter contains instructions on how to drive the caravan. The instructions address the following topics: 5.1 driving speed brakes driving in reverse Driving with the caravan During the journey, no persons are to travel inside the caravan. 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).
5 During the journey Fig. 11 Driving in reverse: 40 Fig. 12 Steer to the left Drive up to the entrance until the rear of the caravan is roughly level with the entrance (Fig. 11). Steer the stationary towing vehicle and trailer to the left (Fig. 12). Reverse with caution. The caravan moves to the right. Fig. 13 Approach Approach Fig. 14 Steer to the right The angle between the vehicles must not be too narrow, otherwise the corners will bump against each other.
Pitching the caravan Chapter overview 6 6Pitching the caravan This chapter contains instructions on how to pitch the vehicle. The instructions address the following topics: 6.1 handbrake wheel chocks operation of the supports entrance step mobile waste water tank 240 V connection refrigerator Pitch the vehicle so that it is as horizontal as possible. Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling. Animals (especially mice) can cause great damage to the interior of the vehicle.
6 Pitching the caravan Fig. 16 Removal: 6.3 Wheel chock Swivel the retaining clip (Fig. 16,1) down. Remove the wheel chock (Fig. 16,2) from the holder. Corner steadies 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. When pitching the vehicle, ensure that the corner steadies are evenly loaded.
Pitching the caravan 6.4 Entrance step (free-standing) Make sure that the entrance step stands on secure and level ground. This will prevent the entrance step from toppling over. Do not step on the edges of the entrance step. Danger of slipping! Secure the entrance step to the ground, for example, with tent pegs. This way the entrance step cannot slip away. Fig. 18 6.5 6 Entrance step (free-standing) Place the entrance step (Fig. 18,1) in front of the entrance to the caravan.

7 Living 7.3 Heating 7.4 7.5 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.
Living 7.5.1 When leaving the vehicle, always close the windows. In extreme weather conditions or if the temperature fluctuates strongly, a light condensation film can form on the double-glazed acrylic glass.

Gas system 8 Chapter overview 8Gas system This chapter contains instructions regarding the gas system of the vehicle. The instructions address the following topics: safety gas consumption changing the gas bottles gas isolator taps external gas connection automatic switching facility The operation of the gas operation appliances of the vehicle is described in chapter 10. 8.
8 Gas system 8.2 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. 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 workshop no later than ten years after the manufacturing date.
Gas system 8.3 EN Never block the floor ventilation openings below the gas bottles. For gas-operated units the gas pressure must be reduced to 30 mbar. 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. For filling and connecting the gas bottles in Europe the accessories shops have corresponding Euro filling sets and Euro bottle sets.
8 Gas system Fig. 100 Gas bottle compartment 8.5 Open external gas bottle compartment (see chapter 7). Close the regulator tap (Fig. 100,1) on the gas bottle (Fig. 100,4). Pay attention to the direction of the arrow. Unscrew the gas pressure regulator (Fig. 100,3) along with the gas tube (Fig. 100,5) from the gas bottle with a suitable gas spanner. Release the fixing belts (Fig. 100,2) and take out the gas bottle. Place a filled gas bottle in the gas bottle compartment.
Gas system 8 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 specialist workshop.
8 Gas system Fig. 103 Duomatic switching facility Construction of the unit Fig. 104 Operating unit The Duomatic switching facility consists of a central regulator (Fig. 103,3) and a switching regulator (Fig. 103,5).

Electrical system Chapter overview 9 9Electrical system This chapter contains instructions regarding the electrical system of the caravan.
9 Electrical system 9.3 12 V power supply 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. 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.
Electrical system 9 The dryfill 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 dryfill 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.
9 Electrical system Energy reserves 9.3.3 Off-load voltage (measured at the poles) Charging condition Higher than 12.80 V 100 % Approx. 12.55 V 75 % Approx. 12.32 V 50 % Approx. 12.18 V 25 % Lower than 12.00 V 0% The living area battery has a limited power supply only. That is why electrical appliances should not be operated over a long period of time if the vehicle is not connected to the 240 V power supply or the engine of the towing vehicle is switched off.
Electrical system 9 connected by a relay. This prevents the battery of the towing vehicle from being run down by electrical appliances in the living area. The starting capability of the towing vehicle is thus preserved. Charging with an external charger When charging the living area battery with an external charger, proceed as follows: 9.4 Disconnect the caravan electrically from the towing vehicle. Switch off 12 V main switch on the panel. The indicator lamp will go off.
9 Electrical system Transformer H Fig. 105 Power pack The 240 V automatic circuit breaker (Fig. 105,1), the overload protection (Fig. 105,2) and the main fuse (Fig. 105,3) are integrated in the power pack. The overload protection switches all 12 V appliances in the caravan off, if the power pack overheats. The power pack can overheat, if the ventilation apertures are covered by clothing or if many 12 V appliances are operated for a long time.

The instructions address the following topics: tyre selection handling of tyres changing wheels spare wheel support At the end of the chapter there is a table you can use to find the correct tyre pressure for your vehicle. 14.1 General Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks.
14 Wheels and tyres Fig. 202 Tighten the wheel nuts or wheel bolts cross-wise 14.2 Check regularly that the wheel nuts or wheel bolts are firmly seated. Retighten the wheel nuts or wheel bolts of a changed wheel cross-wise (Fig. 202) after 50 km (30 miles). See section 14.5.2 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).

Otherwise the friction pads will be highly loaded. Pull the handbrake of the towing vehicle and go to first gear or reverse gear. Park the vehicle on as even and stable a surface as possible. Apply the handbrake.
14 Wheels and tyres 14.5.4 Crank down the vehicle jack and remove it. Using the wheelbrace, tighten the wheel bolts evenly. The target value of the tightening torque of the wheel bolts is 90 Nm for steel wheel rims or 110 Nm for alloy wheel rims. Changing a wheel at alloy wheel rims 14.6 Screw in the wheel bolts and slightly tighten them cross-wise. The resting surfaces of the wheels on the break drums must be clean and free of burrs.
Wheels and tyres 14 The payload and the durability of tyres is directly dependent on the tyre pressure. 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. The information on pressure levels is valid for cold tyres and loaded vehicles.
