Load Distribution
When heading away on your next big adventure it is important to load your camper correctly to
distribute weight evenly and achieve a suitable ball weight load and prevent loading in a manner that
can cause a caravan to sway and/or roll excessively left and right. The optimum ball weight on a
caravan is between 8% and 12% of the total camper weight.
WARNING: BALL LOADING (DOWNWARD LOAD ON TOW HITCH) MUST NOT EXCEED 350KG
OR THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LOAD BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER OR TOW BAR RATING,
WHICH EVER IS THE LOWEST.
Exceeding these limits may result in an accident, causing property damage and/or serious injury or
death.
• Always load both sides of the camper evenly
• Load heavy items low and directly over the axle.
• Secure all items to prevent damage to the camper during travel.
• Consider water tank levels and how they may affect the balance front and back and the percentage
of ball weight.
• Heavy cooking equipment should be stored in lower cupboards.
• Tinned and bottled food for cooking etc. should be stored in the pantry drawer.
• Never load in a manner that causes the ball weight to exceed the limit of the tow vehicle.

Electrical System
Batteries
The Telegraph LT Camper trailer is fitted with 1 x 120 Ah AGM battery. These batteries are designed
to be maintained at voltages between 12.0 V and 14.4 V. Should the batteries become discharged
below 12.0 V, they will begin to degrade. The longer they are left discharged or the more times they
are discharged below this point, the less likely they will be to hold charge.
The Telegraph LT does not come with a battery charger or a solar panel, if you wish to charge using
these methods, you will need to supply one.

Precision Motors Armidale NSW –02 6772 5866 Rising Sun Townsville –07 4779 0211
Water system
The Telegraph LT is fitted with 1 x 100 L freshwater poly tanks with stainless steel guard. The tank has
bungs and taps on the bottom for the tank for easy draining and rinsing.
The water tank filler is closer to the rear of the trailer. The filler is equipped with a breather hole which
will allow the air to escape the tank while the water is going in. If this hole is blocked, water will not
be able to enter the tank. The tank is full when water comes out of the breather hole.
The camper does not have a grey water tank fitted, please follow all instructions from Caravan Park
management/National Parks officers regarding the management of grey water.
Water Pump
The water pump will need to be switched on using the push button on the control panel. It may make
a noise when initially turned on with all taps closed to pressurise the system, but this should shut off
quickly. If the pump continues to run with all taps closed, this can indicate a leak and requires
investigation and rectification.
The water pump will automatically turn on when a tap is opened and will shut off shortly after the tap
is closed. It may turn on and off quickly a few times to fully pressurise the system, this is totally normal.
If the water pump is cycling on and off and the system has been thoroughly inspected for leaks with
nothing found, please contact the service department for more instructions.

Braking Systems
Electric Brakes
The Telegraph LT comes fitted with electric brakes which require a brake controller installed into the
towing vehicle that can be controlled from the driver’s seat. There are many systems available which
can either be permanently installed into the tow vehicle or Bluetooth units that are mounted to the
trailer and have a remote to control from the driver’s position. You must have a brake controller
installed in the vehicle or a Bluetooth unit on the day of handover otherwise the camper will not be
released to you.
Electric trailer brakes are designed to assist your vehicle brakes to stop in a safe and effective manner.
It is important that both your vehicle and the trailer are serviced regularly. The trailer brakes will have
a run-in period that will vary trailer to trailer, but it is important to have the trailer brakes inspected
and adjusted by a qualified professional in line with the maintenance schedule.
Trailer Plug Wiring
The Telegraph LT comes fitted standard with a 7-pin flat trailer plug.
If a different plug configuration has been requested, please reach out to your local showroom or the
service department to obtain a copy of the wiring diagram.
Anderson Plug
The Telegraph LT is fitted with an Anderson connection at the drawbar. This is wired directly to the
batteries through a circuit breaker inside the water tank change over compartment. This is designed
to run all regulated sources of charging to the batteries and can also be utilised as a power output if
required.
To adequately charge from your vehicle, you will need to have a DC-DC charger installed into your
vehicle. Without this, you will receive some charge, but it will rarely be enough to charge the batteries
to capacity.

Precision Motors Armidale NSW –02 6772 5866 Rising Sun Townsville –07 4779 0211
Handbrake
The handbrake is operated mechanically by means of a cable. The cable attaches to the backing plate
and when the handbrake is applied the cable creates a force on the primary and secondary brake shoe.
This causes them to spread until they make contact with the brake drum surface.
The cable adjuster needs to provide enough tension that the handbrake is 1/3 raised when the camper
is unloaded. Once the camper is loaded, test and adjust if necessary. Insufficiently adjusted handbrake
will still allow the camper to move when the handbrake is fully raised.
It is very important to always use wheel chocks and levelling ramps, do not rely solely on the
handbrake even if on a level surface.

Precision Motors Armidale NSW –02 6772 5866 Rising Sun Townsville –07 4779 0211
Setting up campsite
Picking a spot that is relatively level, gets sun during the day and is not under any large tree’s,
especially Gum trees, is important. If you are free camping, do not set up too close to a river or in an
area that is prone to flash flooding.
Stabiliser Leg
Levelling ramps will need to be used if excessive side to side levelling is required. Front to back levelling
is don’t using the jockey wheel. Once the camper is level, drop down the stabiliser legs. These are only
designed to be used for reducing the movement in the camper when set up, these are not to be used
for levelling. Using a drill or any power tool to adjust the height of the stabiliser leg will damage the
internal components of the leg and will void the warranty.
Jockey wheel
The camper is supplied with the Ark XO500 jockey wheel. This jockey wheel not only winds up and
down, but it also has adjustments available in the outer shaft, so no matter what vehicle or ground
level you are setting up on, you can safely adjust the jockey wheel.
The handle is removable, keep this somewhere inside your camper or vehicle when travelling.
Check out the video from Ark to properly use your jockey wheel -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibe7zrAs0nc
It is important however, to never move the camper when the jockey wheel is extended past the
safe moving line on the extension shaft. The safe working load limit reduces past this line, and it may
cause the jockey wheel to bend or break under the load.

Precision Motors Armidale NSW –02 6772 5866 Rising Sun Townsville –07 4779 0211
Gas System
The Telegraph LT is fitted with plumbed gas, with the gas bottle holders mounted inside the front
stone guard. The gas hoses have the LCC27 connection and requires the matching gas bottle to be able
to use the system. The regulator has a one-way valve on top to allow for easy switching of the gas
bottles. The valve must be pointing in the direction of the gas bottle being used for the gas to flow
through the system. You cannot draw from both gas bottles at the same time.
Once the gas bottles are connected, you can connect the external 3 burner stove top to the rear
mounted bayonet fitting using the attached hose. Once the stove top is connected, turn on the gas
bottle. The control knob for the stove top needs to be turned to the high position and held in whilst
pressing the ignition switch. It can take up to 2 mins for the gas to flow to the burner from the gas
bottles. Once the burner has lit, continue holding the control knob down for a further 5 secs to ensure
it stays lit.
When travelling the gas supply MUST be turned off, and it is recommended to purge the lines of gas
before travel.
•Light the external kitchen gas burner
•Turn off the gas bottle in the front storage box
•Allow the burner to go out
•Wait until the burner is touch cool before closing the kitchen

Camper & Canvas Care
Seasoning the canvas
The camper trailer canvas is pre-seasoned; however, this is before the camper has been assembled
and sewn together. This means that before you take the camper out for the first time, it will need to
be seasoned to avoid any leaks.
To season the camper, you need to set it up fully, with all windows and door canvas zipped closed.
Hose off the camper, ensuring that the canvas is fully soaked. Let it dry completely and repeat this
process approx. 3-5 times. Ensure to season the annex as well as the main tent. If you continue to
experience water seeping through the seams, you can apply a wax stick to the seams once the canvas
has fully dried.
Setting up the tent
When setting up the canvas tent is important to not overtighten using the poles. When adjusting the
tent, it should be taut but not tight. If you can see exposed stitching in the seams, it is too tight. There
may be rippling of the canvas tent when fully set up, this is a nature of the canvas. Forcing the poles
out to remove the rippling will cause leaking and will overstretch the canvas and this is irreparable.
When packing away the camper, it is important to ensure that the mesh screen windows are fully
zipped up, and the canvas coverings on the inside and outside are closed over the top to avoid any
accidental damage. Mesh screen damage is considered to be misuse and as such is not covered under
warranty.
Closing the camper
When closing the camper it is important to make sure that the door is closed and locked using the key
to ensure a good compression seal to reduce water and dust ingress.
It is also important to ensure that there is no material sitting between the camper edge and the
compression seal on the lid. If there is anything between, this will cause water and dust ingress inside
the camper.
Always ensure that the cushions are laid flat inside the camper and that if there is more resistance
than normal when closing the camper, not to force it closed. Always check to see the reason for the
resistance, generally this will either be too much height on the cushions or a pole has not be retracted
fully. If the camper is forced closed and poles are bent, this is considered to be misuse and is not
covered under warranty.
Wet weather camping
During periods of wet or windy weather, you will need to reduce the height of the end poles inside
the main camper to give the tent more pitch and also to drop the corners of the annex to give the
water somewhere to run off. Pooling water is extremely heavy and will stretch the canvas and if left
for long enough, bend/break pole.

External Kitchen
Your Telegraph LT is equipped with a quality stainless steel kitchen complete with a Dometic 3 burner
cook top, sink and drying rack.
The kitchen is located at the rear passenger side of the camper and can be accessed by opening the
access hatch, once the hatch is open you will see 2 spring & pad bolts (1), release the bolts and using
the top handle (2) gently slide the kitchen out. Once the kitchen has slide out to the full extension,
gently lift the kitchen and it will come out slightly further and lock into place.
Once the kitchen is fully extended it is now time to lower the support legs, on the underneath of the
kitchen there is a latch mechanism, press the small silver button to release the latch. This will allow
the support legs to be lowered ready to support the kitchen slide.

Now just loosen the nuts to lower the legs to the ground, keep the legs angled at around 45 degrees
then tighten the nuts. Once again take hold of the top handle (2) and gently lift the kitchen slide,
allowing the legs to move forward, this may take a couple of goes until you get your kitchen nice and
level.
The kitchen can free stand however it is not recommended to do this whilst cooking as the extra
weight of pots and food can put strain onto the slide runners over time. By ensuring that your kitchen
is level will aid with the draining of the sink and will help your food cook evenly.
Do not pour boiling water down the sink, the drain hose underneath is made of plastic, and it will melt
with boiling water.
Now it’s time to connect your gas to the burner, at the rear of the kitchen you will see a section that
has been cut away, inside that recess is the gas line which is fitted with a gas bayonet. Extend the gas
line to rear of your camper and locate one of the two gas points. Remove the black cap from the gas
fitting and plug the gas bayonet in and if you haven’t already, turn on your gas cylinder.
To close the kitchen, follow these steps in reverse.
Always ensure that the gas bottle is turned off prior to travel and that the burners are touch
cool before closing the glass lid.

Condensation / mould
Condensation is a normal part of living in Australia, and this is highlighted when camping. The
temperature difference inside and outside a camper can be quite significant, and with the moisture in
the Australian air and the smaller living area of a camper, condensation can build up overnight. While
this can be quite disconcerting, it is totally normal. Ensure that there is sufficient air flow in the camper
to allow the moisture to escape overnight.
If you do encounter a build up of condensation in the camper, make sure to wipe this up in the morning
to avoid the moisture building up in the soft furnishings, especially mattresses.
It is recommended to place moisture absorbing tubs in the camper especially when it is in storage and
change these out on a regular basis to avoid mould growing.
