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. 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 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.
3 Safety 3.2 Open to the outside or can be shifted in horizontal direction Opening angle at least 70° Minimum diameter of clearance = 450 mm Maximum distance from the vehicle floor = 950 mm General 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.
Safety 3 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. Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks.
3 Safety 3.5 3.5.1 Gas system General instructions 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. 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! Do not use appliances operated with a naked flame in closed spaces (e.g. garages).
Safety 3 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. The regulator tap on the gas bottle must be accessible. Only connect gas-operated devices (e.g. gas grill) which have been designed for a gas pressure of 30 mbar. The exhaust gas pipe must be fitted tightly to the heating system and to the vent and must be sealed.
3 Safety Only replace defective fuses when the cause of the defect is known and has been remedied. Never bridge or repair fuses. 3.7 Water system Water left standing 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 tank. After each use of the vehicle completely empty the water tank and the water pipes.
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 Ensure that the interior of the coupling is not soiled and that the movable parts of the coupling (not the ball retainer) are lubricated. 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.
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 Care is to be taken when connecting and detaching a trailer. Risk of acci- dent and injury! In addition, observe the safety instructions with respect to connecting included in this instruction manual. Detaching: 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. Remove the breakaway cable from the towing vehicle.
4 Before the journey 4.6.1 Terms 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. Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition 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 Take care when stepping onto the roof. There is danger of slipping when the roof is moist or icy. 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. The authorised dealer or service centre will be happy to advise you.
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 in the TV cabinet 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. Holder with jointed arm 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: driving speed brakes driving in reverse 5.1 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: Approach 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 Fig. 14 Steer to the right The angle between the vehicles must not be too narrow, otherwise the cor- ners 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: 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: Wheel chock Swivel the retaining clip (Fig. 16,1) down. Remove the wheel chock (Fig. 16,2) from the holder. 6.3 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 6 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 Entrance step (free-standing) Place the entrance step (Fig. 18,1) in front of the entrance to the caravan. 6.

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 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 Use the shortest possible tube lengths (150 cm max.) for external gas bottles. 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.
8 Gas system Fig. 104 Gas bottle compartment Open external gas bottle compartment (see chapter 7). Close the regulator tap (Fig. 104,1) on the gas bottle (Fig. 104,4). Pay attention to the direction of the arrow. Unscrew the gas pressure regulator (Fig. 104,3) along with the gas tube (Fig. 104,5) from the gas bottle with a suitable gas spanner. Release the fixing belts (Fig. 104,2) 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. 107 Duomatic switching facility Construction of the unit Fig. 108 Operating unit The Duomatic switching facility consists of a central regulator (Fig. 107,3) and a switching regulator (Fig. 107,5). The knob (Fig. 107,6) on the switching regulator 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. Both regulators are equipped with a pressure controller and the regulator defroster Eis-Ex.

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 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.
9 Electrical system Satisfactory measurements of the charging condition can only be made after 4 hours of battery charging. Immediately after charging, the battery voltage is higher, after approx. 4 hours, it sinks to the so-called off-load voltage. The off-load voltage displays the charging condition. 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.
Electrical system 9 Charging using the vehicle engine of the towing vehicle The living area battery is recharged by the alternator of the vehicle when the engine of the towing vehicle is running. An electrical connection between the towing vehicle and the caravan is prerequisite for this. If the engine of the towing vehicle is switched off, the electrical connection is automatically disconnected by a relay.
9 Electrical system Transformer H Fig. 109 Power pack The 240 V automatic circuit breaker (Fig. 109,1), the overload protection (Fig. 109,2) and the main fuse (Fig. 109,3) 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.
Electrical system 9 Switching on the power pack (only type I): Press lower part of the main switch (Fig. 110,4): Position "ON". The green Switching on overload protection (only type I): When the overload protection triggers, allow the power pack to cool. LED (Fig. 110,3) lights up when 240 V voltage is present. Press upper part of the main switch (Fig. 110,4) first: Position "OFF". After about 60 seconds, switch the main switch back to position "ON". 9.
9 Electrical system When the transformer/rectifier is subject to a heavy load, the fitted charger module reduces the charging current. This protects the charger from overheating. The transformer/rectifier is subject to a heavy load when e.g. an empty living area battery is being charged, additional electrical appliances are turned on and the ambient temperatures are high. Position Depending on the model, the transformer/rectifier is situated either in the bench or in the bedding box.
Electrical system 9.6.1 9 12 V main switch The 12 V main switch (Fig. 113,1) switches the 12 V power supply of the living area on and off. Switching on: Press the upper part of the rocker switch (Fig. 113,1): The 12 V living area power supply is switched on. The 12 V indicator lamp (Fig. 113,2) lights up in green. Switching off: Press the lower part of the rocker switch (Fig. 113,1): The 12 V living area power supply is switched off. The 12 V indicator lamp (Fig. 113,2) goes off.

12 Care Add-on parts made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) require a regular follow-up treatment with a polisher. This way these parts will not turn yellow and the sealing of the surface remains intact. Treat rubber seals of doors and storage flaps with talc. Treat locking cylinder of doors and storage flaps with graphite dust. 12.1.3 Windows of acrylic glass Acrylic glass windows are delicate and require very careful handling.
Care 12 Only use products approved by the manufacturer. Our authorised dealers and service centres will be happy to advise you. 12.1.6 Waste water tank Clean the waste water tank after every use of the vehicle. Cleaning: Open the cleaning opening on the waste water tank and the drain cock. Thoroughly rinse out the waste water tank with fresh water. 12.2 Filter for the external water connection Fig.
12 Care 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. Clean upholstery with dry foam specially manufactured for the use on upholstery or with the foam of a mild detergent.
Care 12 Scrub also the pump housing. Rinse water tank with copious amounts of drinking water. 12.4.2 Cleaning the water pipes Only use suitable cleaning agents as sold by the specialist trade. Collect any emerging mixture of water and cleaning agent for correct dis- posal. Empty the water system. Close all drain holes and drain cocks. Fill mixture of water and cleaning agent into the water tank. Observe the manufacturer's instructions regarding the mixing ratio.
12 Care Open the drain cocks one by one. Leave the drain cocks open until the mixture of water and disinfectant has reached the respective drain. Close the drain cocks. Set all the water taps to "Hot" and open them. Leave the drain cocks open until the mixture of water and disinfectant has reached the drain. Set all water taps to "Cold" and open them. Leave the drain cocks open until the mixture of water and disinfectant has reached the drain. Close all water taps.
Care 12.7 12 Vacuum toilet (Dometic) If the toilet will not be used for a longer period of time, for example for Winter lay up, the toilet must be cleaned and completely emptied. Fig. 186 Vacuum toilet valve Emptying valve: Empty the entire water system. Press the toilet pedal several times, until no more water flows. Empty the cassette at a disposal station authorized for this purpose and clean it. Turn off power supply. Remove cover (Fig. 186,3). Unscrew the cap (Fig. 186,2).
12 Care Use a wax-based rust inhibitor to protect the metal parts of the underbody. Use appropriate protection for external painted surfaces. 12.8.2 Winter operation During winter operation, condensation develops when the vehicle is occupied under low-temperature conditions. To ensure good interior air quality and avoid vehicle damage from condensation, sufficient ventilation is essential. Attach vent extension with a length of at least 10 cm.
Care Activities Chassis 12 Done Lubricate the moving parts of the caravan coupling 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 Never use the fitted corner steadies as a car jack but only external support. Protect the tyres from direct exposure to the sun.

Wheels and tyres Chapter overview 14 14Wheels and tyres This chapter contains instructions regarding the tyres of the vehicle. 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. 204 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. 204) 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 flanks of the tyres may get pinched.
14 Wheels and tyres Whilst the vehicle is in a jacked up position, persons must not lie down under it. If alloy wheel rims are mounted and a steel spare wheel is mounted after a puncture: Do not drive any further than necessary (car dealer, car workshop, tyre dealer). Only drive at a suitable speed. The different wheels affect driving handling. Do not damage the thread of the thread bolts when changing the wheel. Tighten the wheel nuts or wheel bolts cross-wise (Fig. 204).
Wheels and tyres Fig. 205 Securing support wheel Preparing the connected caravan: 14 Fig. 206 Securing vehicle Loosen the stabilising device in caravan couplings with stabilising devices. Otherwise the friction pads will be highly loaded. Pull the handbrake of the towing vehicle and go to first gear or reverse gear. Preparing the disconnected caravan: Park the vehicle on as even and stable a surface as possible. Apply the handbrake.
14 Wheels and tyres Screw in the wheel bolts and slightly tighten them cross-wise. 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. 14.5.4 Changing a wheel at alloy wheel rims 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 vehi- cles.

17 Helpful notes Before commencing the journey, close and lock all windows, doors and skylights. During high season do not spend the night at highway rest stops or parking areas located along typical vacation routes. Several vehicles on one site at the same time do not necessarily decrease the chances of thievery occurring. Consult your own feelings about the parking site. Even if it is just for one night, go to a camping site.
Helpful notes 17 Do not leave checking of documents (e.g. vehicle papers and information) as well as checking the condition of the vehicle until just before commencing the trip. Planning and checking documents well in advance will save unnecessary trouble.
