Introduction
Auto-Trail welcomes you to the ranks of
Auto-Trail owners.
This handbook has been designed to enable
you to derive the maximum benefit and
enjoyment from your motorhome;
its information will be beneficial to
experienced and new motorhomers alike.
Thank you for deciding to buy one of our
motorhomes and welcome to the ranks
of Auto-Trail owners.
This handbook has been designed to enable
you to derive the maximum benefit from your
motorhome; it’s information will be beneficial to
both experienced and new motorhomers alike.
The information contained in this handbook is
intended to give you a general guide as to the
care, use and maintenance of your vehicle.
We would advise you to read all of the individual
appliance instructions that will be found in the
information wallet supplied with your vehicle prior
to using them for the first time.

7 together we’re going places
Introduction Owners Handbook :
Your motorhome is designed to give many years
of use as a leisure purpose vehicle and not as
a permanent residence. Regular maintenance
however will not only ensure trouble free service, but
will also enhance your vehicles value.
Your supplying dealer is responsible for all aspects
of your customer care. We would suggest that
you make a note of the dealers name and contact
information in the dedicated space in the front of
this handbook as this would speed up the process
of answering any queries you may have. Should
you require assistance, your supplying dealer is fully
conversant with the correct procedures that should
be followed to get any issues resolved in a timely
manner.
For total piece of mind all Auto-Trail vehicles are
supplied with a comprehensive warranty for vehicles
registered in the UK. Please ensure that your
supplying dealer has fully explained all aspects of
the terms and conditions of your vehicle warranty
and the necessary servicing requirements.
Please refer to the base vehicle handbook for
matters relating to the motorhome as a road going
vehicle (e.g. lubricant levels, service intervals etc…).
Notes on private exporting of vehicles
Auto Trail Motorhomes are designed and
manufactured to operate in a specific country or
region and therefore it is imperative that when
purchasing a new vehicle, the buyer should be
completely aware of the design and operating
parameters of the product. Vehicles purchased in
the UK are not only built to the necessary European
Directives and Standards (e.g. ECWVTA – Type
approval), but also are equipped with components
that are designed to operate in a typical European
temperate climate.
Should a customer choose to export a registered
vehicle from the UK, or purchase a vehicle from
a nonaligned dealership outside the UK, it is
their responsibility to ensure that any required
modifications have been completed to the correct
standard, and that the vehicle complies with all
legislation of the country in which the vehicle is
to be registered. Any equipment that is operated
in a country that it is not designed for will either
not perform correctly and could possibly fail. This
equipment may also not be covered by the appliance
manufacturer’s warranty.
Similarly, Auto-trail vehicles are designed to be used
on normal tarmacadam roads, with occasional off
road campsite use. Should a vehicle be used outside
of these conditions, the vehicle could suffer undue
load, stress and ingress of debris and therefore
Auto-trail will not be held liable for any such failure
and as a result any applicable warranty will be void.
Modifications To Your Vehicle
Please check with your supplying dealer before
carrying out any modifications to your vehicle.
Any unauthorised modifications carried out by
a third party could effect the terms of your
warranty agreement.
We would always advise that you consult your
dealer before any additional equipment is fitted
to your vehicle to ensure the appropriate fixing
support is available.
Never allow modifications of electrical or LPG
systems and appliances except by qualified persons.
Care should be taken to ensure that any additional
equipment or appliances are installed with the
appliance / equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Appliance Maintenance
In the interest of safety, replacement parts for
an appliance shall conform to the appliance
manufacturers specifications, and should
be fitted by him or his authorised agent.

Preparing for the Road
Loading Your Vehicle
All models manufactured by Auto-Trail are of
a well balanced design, the most common
causes of poor stability include:
• Poor weight distribution of the weight inside
the vehicle.
• Incorrect tyre pressure (always adhere to
the tyre pressures stated in the back of
this handbook).
Try to load heavy items down near the floor of
the vehicle, between the axles and as evenly
as possible side to side.
We would recommend that the table is stored
on the floor between the beds if there is no
dedicated storage position.
Where a dedicated storage position is available,
the table should be retained in this position
whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Bicycle Carrier (If Fitted)
Auto-Trail recommends that if a bicycle carrier
is fitted to your vehicle it should be capable of
carrying no more than two cycles.
Tow Bars
Various suppliers manufacture tow bars that can
be fitted to your Auto-Trail vehicle. Please check
with your tow bar supplier that the tow ball fitted
to your vehicle fits your requirements exactly and
does not contravene any road traffic regulations.

9 together we’re going places
Maximum Loading Of Your Vehicle
The weights of your vehicle are stated in the back
of this handbook and on the secondary weight plate
located in the engine bay of your vehicle.
The secondary weight plate gives the following
information.
The serial number of your vehicle which should
be quoted in any correspondence with your
supplying dealer.
• The maximum authorised weight of your vehicle
which must never be exceeded when the vehicle
is loaded and in use.
• The gross train weight of your vehicle.
This is the maximum combined weight of the
actual Motorhome fully loaded to its maximum
authorised weight, plus the allowance for a trailer.
The weight of the loaded Motorhome and trailer
must never exceed the gross train weight quoted
on the weight plate.
• ‘1’ is the maximum authorised weight for the
individual front axle.
• ‘2’ is the maximum authorised weight for the
individual rear axle.
• ‘3’ is the maximum authorised weight of the
individual third axle (only used on twin rear
axle models).
Please note that if you add both maximum
authorised axle weights together it will normally
give you a larger figure than the maximum
authorised weight – please be aware that
the Maximum Authorised Weight must
never be exceeded.
Please take care to ensure that you have allowed
for the masses of all items you intend to carry in
the Motorhome. e.g. passengers, optional
equipment, essential habitation equipment and
personal effects such as clothing, food, pets,
bicycles, sailboards, sports equipment, etc.
Before You Set Off In Your Motorhome
• Ensure all articles are stowed securely.
Do not store tins, bottles or heavy items in
overhead lockers.
• Close and secure all lockers and cupboard doors.
• Secure all bunks.
• Close and secure all roof lights.
• Store main table in transit position.
• Ensure fridge is on 12V operation and set
door lock.
• Close and latch all windows (never drive with
windows on night settings).
• Leave all curtains and blinds open to aide visibility.
• Ensure leisure battery is secure.
• Ensure all gas appliances are turned off, that the
gas bottles are correctly positioned, secured and
turned off.
• Ensure that seat swivels (if fitted) are locked in

Driving Your Motorhome
Driving Your Motorhome
Pulling Away
When pulling away in your Motorhome always
operate the clutch smoothly, change gears
smoothly and try not to jerk the clutch.
Motorhome Handling
Please remember that your Motorhome is much
larger than a standard motor car when carrying
out any manoeuvres.
• Allow longer to speed up when overtaking.
• Do not swing out suddenly.
• Carry out all manoeuvres as smoothly
as possible.
• Use the nearside wing mirror to check
Motorhome has cleared obstacle
when overtaking.
• Do not bump the kerbs with the
Motorhome wheels.
• Reduce speed accordingly in strong winds,
going downhill or in poor visibility.
• Large high speed vehicles cause air buffeting,
extra care must be taken when passing or
being passed by a high sided vehicle.
Reversing
Proficiency at reversing can only be achieved
with practice and we would recommend that
you should first practice in a large open area.
As well as this courses are run by
many organisations.
Reversing Aid
Your vehicle may be fitted with a visual
reversing aid. This aid is designed to assist
a drivers attention only during reversing of
the vehicle, they are not intended to replace
a drivers self judgement. Auto-Trail will not
accept any responsibility for any accident
caused by a drivers negligence.
Navigation Aid
Your vehicle may be fitted with an audio/visual
navigation aid. This navigation aid is designed to
assist the driver whilst travelling, it is not meant
to replace a driver’s self-judgement as to the
suitability of a specific route for their vehicle.
Auto-Trail will not accept any responsibility for
any accident caused by a driver’s negligence.

13 together we’re going places
Changing A Wheel
• Ensure handbrake is fully applied and use wheel
chocks if necessary to ensure the
vehicle cannot move.
• Remove the wheel trims (if fitted). Use the
wheel-brace to slacken off wheel nuts on
the wheel to be changed.
• Position the jack under the axle or at the
appropriate jacking point.
• Jack up the vehicle until the wheel to be
changed is just off the ground.
• Remove the wheel nuts and wheel.
• Fit the spare wheel and reverse
the above procedure.
• Tighten all nuts equally.
Driving Abroad
Please ensure that you are familiar with the relevant
laws and regulations that apply in the countries in
which you choose to travel.
Different mainland European countries have different
laws and regulations and it is your responsibility to
ensure that your vehicle complies with this
regulations and that you drive within the law.
Vehicles fitted with Comfort - Matic gearbox
If the vehicle is at a standstill and a gear is engaged,
keep the brake pedal pressed until you decide to set
off. Then release the brake and accelerate gradually.
To safeguard clutch efficiency, do not use the
accelerator to keep the vehicle at a standstill
(e.g: parking on a hill); the clutch could be damaged
by overheating. Use the brake pedal instead and
operate the accelerator only when you are ready
to set off.
During hill starts, accelerate gradually but fully after
releasing the handbrake or brake pedal to allow
the engine to increase its rpm to greater extent and
overcome the higher gradients with more torque.
For more information on the Comfort – Matic
gearbox please refer to the handbook supplied
with your base vehicle.
Selecting A Pitch
Do not pitch in a position in which your vehicle will
obstruct others coming in.
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
when you leave you are driving down the slope.
It is always good practice to chock the wheels
of the Motorhome when parked on a slope or a
slippery surface even when the brakes are applied.
In poor site conditions you are advised to try to keep
engine revs as low as possible to try to avoid wheel
spin and try to steer as straight as possible.
Levelling The Motorhome
Levelling of the Motorhome on your chosen pitch
must be carried out in both directions for the
refrigerator and other equipment to function correctly.
Levelling the Motorhome should be carried out using
proprietary levelling ramps, or boards.
Selecting A Pitch Owners Handbook :

14 www.auto-trail.co.uk
Gas Services
The gas appliances in your vehicle are fed
from a gas cylinder that is housed in a sealed
cylinder compartment or an underslung fixed
LPG tank.
Gas flows from the gas bottles via a bulkhead
mounted gas regulator. This regulator provides
a working gas pressure of 30 m bar (1.5kg of
gas per hour).
All appliances installed by Auto-Trail are
designed to work within this pressure range.
Please ensure that any additional appliances,
not fitted by Auto-Trail, are capable of working
within this pressure.
Cylinder Compartment (if fitted)
Your vehicle is designed to accept two 7kg
gas cylinders.
The compartment is accessed via a door behind
the rear opening doors.
The compartment has low level ventilation to
ensure the safe operation of the cylinders and
should not be obstructed in any way.
Also please ensure that any additional items
stored in this compartment are secure and
cannot damage any pipe work or fittings, or
block the ventilation.
Connecting / Changing A Gas Cylinder
Before you can connect a gas cylinder to your
vehicle you will have to obtain the correct type
of high pressure hose for the type of bottle you
have chosen (different European countries
have different connections). This hose should
be fitted to the bulkhead mounted gas
regulator fitted inside your gas compartment.
• Extinguish any fire, flame or source of ignition
before changing gas cylinders
• Carefully position the gas cylinders into the
gas compartment locating the bottle into the
retaining devices taking care not to damage
any of the pipe work or fittings.
• Tighten the straps that will hold the cylinders
firmly into the compartment.
• Connect the high pressure hose to the gas
cylinder using a suitable tool. Please ensure
that the high pressure hose is connected
correctly before opening the cylinder valve.
• Close the empty cylinder valve
Fixed LPG tank
Your vehicle may have been fitted with a fixed
LPG tank that is mounted underneath your
vehicle (model specific). This tank allows your
vehicle to be filled via a proprietary LPG pump
at a suitable filling station.
The level of the gas tank is shown on the level
indicator on the vehicle dashboard.
NOTE
It is important to ensure that when sighting your
vehicle it is levelled both side to side and front to
back. This will ensure that no liquid gas can enter
the on board pipework.

15 together we’re going places
Gas Hoses
Your supplying dealer will advise on the correct type
of high pressure hose to connect your gas cylinder
to the pressure regulator.
This will depend on the type of gas cylinders you
have chosen to carry in your vehicle.
Inspect flexible hoses regularly for deterioration
and renew, as necessary with an approved type,
in any case not later than the expiry date shown
on the hose.
Any hose that shows signs of damage or
splitting should be replaced immediately
irrespective of its age.
Gas Safety Valves
Gas flows from the gas cylinder via a bulkhead
mounted regulator to a set of safety shut off valves
that supply each individual appliance in the vehicle.
The valves allow isolation of a single appliance
without affecting the operation of other equipment.
Each valve has a symbol fixed to it that indicates
which appliance it is supplying.
The location of the isolation valves varies from model
to model, and depending on the layout some vehicles
may have two individual sets of valves.
Please familiarise yourself with the location of these
valves before using your vehicle for the first time.
Precautions - If a gas leak is suspected
• Turn off the gas supply at the cylinder using the
isolation valve on top of the gas bottle.
• Never search using a match.
• Open all doors and windows to allow any gas
to escape.
• LPG has been given a smell by the manufacturers
to help with the detection of leaks – check that
the gas is not escaping from an unlit appliance.
• Do not operate any electrical apparatus, especially
light switches.
• If the leak is not obvious the Motorhome should
be evacuated and qualified personnel consulted.
• Remember that gas is heavier than air and
therefore sinks to the lowest point.
• Keep bottled gas containers outside and protect
against frost. If storage inside is the only option
then keep away from heat sources.
Externally Sited Cylinders
You are advised that gas cylinders should not be
sited outside the vehicle and that gas hoses should
never be extended to accommodate this. Hose
lengths should be no more than 400mm
(+ 50mm/-100mm).
If gas bottles are to be removed for a long period of
time then care should be taken to ensure that debris
cannot enter the gas system via the open pipe work.
En Route LPG heating
Your motorhome may be fitted with a special gas
regulator and an ‘en route’ LPG heating system.
When this heater is in use please ensure that all
other gas appliances are isolated
Operating Instructions
• Open the cylinder valve
• Firmly press the hose rupture protection
(green button) on the high pressure hose.
Warning
Please ensure that the gas system is only modified
and maintained by competent persons.
Gas Services Owners Handbook :

16 www.auto-trail.co.uk
Electrical Services
All Auto-Trail vehicles have both a 12V and
230V electrical system.
The 12V electrical system is supplied by a
rechargeable leisure battery that is located in
a dedicated battery compartment within the
vehicle (locations of leisure batteries varies
from model to model so please familiarise
yourself with your battery location prior to
using the vehicle for the first time).
The leisure battery is charged either by the
vehicle alternator when the engine is running,
or by the on board battery charger when the
vehicle is connected to a suitable mains supply
via the hook-up lead supplied with the vehicle.
Connection the mains supply also activates
the 230V sockets, as well as various mains
appliances.
All Auto-Trail vehicles utilise a combined power
supply unit (PSU) that contains the battery
charger, 12V fuses, mains RCD (residual circuit
breaker) and MCB’s (miniature circuit breakers).
Please familiarise yourself with the location of
the PSU unit prior to using the vehicle for the
first time (individual specifications of PSU
units will be described in more detail later in
this section).
Connecting The Vehicle To A Mains Supply
Your Auto-Trail vehicle is supplied with an
orange mains hook-up cable that will connect
your Motorhome to a suitable power supply
on site via the mains hook-up point on
your Motorhome.
Mains hook-up points vary from model to model
so please familiarise yourself with your particular
location prior to using your vehicle for the
first time.
Your Motorhome should only be connected to a
supply that meets the requirements of BS7671.
The site warden will hold information regarding
the suitability of supply.
• Locate the charger power switch on the PSU
unit and switch to the ‘OFF’ position before
connecting the mains supply.
• Connect the supplied hook-up cable (orange
cable with blue connectors) to the Motorhome
and then connect to the mains supply.
• Check the RCD operation by ensuring that the
RCD is switched ‘ON’ (lever in up position).
Press the ‘TEST’ button and confirm that the
RCD is turned off (lever in ‘DOWN’ position).
• Switch the RCD back into the ‘ON’ position
(lever in ‘UP’ position). If the button failed to
operate the RCD seek professional advice
from a qualified electrician.
• Check the polarity of the mains supply by
locating the Reverse Polarity indicator and
ensure that the indicator is not illuminated.
If the indicator is illuminated seek advice
from a professional electrician.
• Locate the MCB’s within the PSU (adjacent
to the RCD) and ensure they are all in the
‘ON/UP’ position. If any MCB’s cannot be
reset this could indicate a fault or an
overloaded circuit.

17 together we’re going places
• Locate the power switch on the PSU and turn
to the ‘ON’ position. The switch will illuminate
when turned on.
It is now safe to check the operation of the 12V
and 230V equipment.
Overseas Connections
Connection to mains voltage overseas requires
particular attention. Electricity supplies abroad may
be of reverse polarity. The significance of this is that
when an appliance is switched off, it may not be
electrically isolated.
It is useful to check the polarity of the supply so
that the connection can be made neutral to neutral
and live to live as recommended. Your Auto-Trail,
however, is fitted with a double pole circuit breaker.
Check that all Motorhome equipment is set to accept
the site supply prior to switching it on.
Please note that if too many appliances are in
operation at one time, the MCB may trip. This
is a safety measure. On some sites, the power
is not sufficient to power all appliances. If in
doubt, consult the site manager or warden.
When replacing 12V fuses always with a fuse
of the correct value. NEVER replace with a
higher value / rating as this could damage
the wiring harness.
PSU Courtesy Light
The cupboard in which the PSU is situated is
equipped with a courtesy light that is activated when
the cupboard door is opened. This light is supplied
by the on board leisure battery of the vehicle when
stationary. Should a fault occur on this circuit and
the light fail, starting the engine will reconnect the
light to the vehicle battery circuit to allow fuses and
circuit breakers to be checked etc.
Wiring of connecting cable and Motorhome
mains inlet:
Pitch outlet supply Cable plug
Cable coupler Motorhome mains inlet
The cable plug is connected to the cable coupler by
a 2.5mm flexible 3-core cable.
Warning:
It is essential that connections are made exactly
as shown. If the terminal markings are not in
accordance with the diagram, they must be
ignored. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Generators
If a generator is fitted, the vehicle must be regularly
serviced to achieve the optimum performance. Engine
speed is used to govern the output and frequency of
the unit in KW and Hz, and if this is allowed to vary
beyond a safe level, permanent damage could be
caused to certain electronic equipment such as 12V
chargers etc.
IMPORTANT
Periodically, preferably not less than once
a year, the Motorhome electrical installation
should be inspected and tested. A report on the
condition should be obtained as described in the
Regulations for Electrical Installations,
published by the Institute of Electrical Engineers.
It is important that the main switch at the site
point should be switched off, the supply flexible
cable disconnected and any cover replaced on
the socket outlet at the site supply point. It is
dangerous to leave the supply flexible
cable connected.
If a fault should develop with your electrical
system that is not described in the ‘fault table’
and your supplying dealer cannot resolve the
problem, Sargent Electrical Systems operate a
telephone help line that is available during
normal office hours.

Your vehicle is equipped with a rechargeable
leisure battery that is located in a dedicated
battery compartment within your vehicle.
Locations of leisure batteries vary from model
to model, so please familiarise yourself with your
battery location before using your vehicle for the
first time. The battery is charged via the on board
charging unit when the vehicle is plugged into a
mains supply, or via the vehicle alternator whilst
your Motorhome is being driven.
Connecting and disconnecting the battery
Please ensure that all cigarettes are extinguished
before working in the auxiliary battery
compartment.
Switch off all appliances and lamps before
disconnecting the leisure battery.
• Release the battery securing bolts or securing
straps from the leisure battery.
• Carefully remove the battery from the battery
compartment (please take care – the leisure
battery is extremely heavy).
• Release the battery terminals using a suitably
sized spanner.
To refit the battery, simply reverse the
above procedure.
Please ensure the battery is located safely and
securely before driving your Motorhome.
Any replacement auxiliary battery shall be of the
same type and specification as that originally
fitted by the manufacturer.
EC176 (Power Supply Unit)
Overview
The EC176 Power Supply Unit incorporates a
battery charger that supplies 12V DC power
to run the leisure equipment and supplies the
leisure battery. It also houses the 12V DC fuses
that protect the various 12V circuits, and the
230V RCD and MCB’s that protect the various
mains circuits.
Features of the PSU
RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (R.C.D.) &
MINIATURE CIRCUIT BREAKERS (M.C.B.)
The Residual Current Device is provided
to protect the user from a potentially lethal
electric shock. The RCD will turn off (trip) if a
fault occurs on the system. To ensure the RCD
is working correctly, the test button should be
operated each time the vehicle is connected
to the mains supply.
The Miniature circuit breakers (MCB’s) operate
in a similar way to traditional fuses and are
provided to protect the wiring from an overload
or short circuit. If an overload occurs the MCB
will switch off the supply. If this occurs the
cause of the fault should be investigated before
switching the MCB back on. Details of the MCB
ratings and the circuits they protect are detailed
in your Tribute handbook and information wallet
supplied with your vehicle.

19 together we’re going places
12V DC Fuses
These fuses are provided to protect the various
12V circuits from an overload or short circuit. If a
fuse does blow, the cause of the fault should be
investigated before a replacement. When replacing
a fuse, always replace with a fuse of the correct
value, never replace with a higher value as this could
damage the wiring harness. Details of fuse ratings
are given in your Tribute handbook and information
wallet supplied with your vehicle.
Charger Switch
The charger switch turns on the internal battery
charger that will charge the batteries and provide
12V power to the interior of the vehicle.
The switch will illuminate when the unit is plugged
into the mains supply and the switch is pushed to the
‘IN’ position.
Heater Switch
The heater switch turns on the 230V supply to the
water and heating system. The switch will illuminate
when the unit is plugged into the mains supply and
