Driving
Take a test drive before the rst long drive to
better acquaint yourself with the carriage in driv-
ing conditions. Also practice driving in reverse.
Rules for driving
• Do not underestimate the length of the
carriage.
• Exercise special caution when driving toward
yards and through gates.
• In conditions with strong side winds, slick ice
or wet roads, the carriage could move back
and forth.
• Adjust driving speed to overall street and traf-
c conditions.
• Long, lightly sloping roads are potentially
dangerous. Measure your speed from the
outset in such a manner that the carriage can
be accelerated, if necessary, without endan
gering other drivers or pedestrians.
• If the carriage moves back and forth on a
sloping road, brake carefully but rapidly if the
carriage forms a line, i.e. if it is stretched.
• Never increase speed if the carriage be-
comes pendulous.
• Do not drive down a hill any faster than you
would drive up one.
• When passing trucks or buses (or if another
truck or bus passes you), the carriage can be
caught up in air suction. Slight counter-steering
can eliminate this effect.
Driving in reverse
Your HOBBY camper has a braking system with
automatic reverse. This makes driving in revese
possible without activating the running brake.
Rules for driving in reverse
• The camper tilts in the opposite direction in
which you steer.
• Use a guide when driving in reverse.
The guide may not position him- or
herself between the base vehicle and
the camper.
