BEFORE YOU SET OFF
• Make sure that the step is retracted
• Make sure that the TV antenna is wound down
• check all lights for proper operation
WATER
If you intend to free camp, please note that the motorhome is supplied with the water tank empty to
keep the weight down. Remember to fill the tank with potable water when you are close to your
destination, using the drinking water quality hose provided.
SETTING UP
ARRIVAL AT SITE
• Park the motorhome on a level area.
• If required use the levelling ramps to level the motorhome
• Place a chock against each wheel
IF MAINS WATER AND POWER ARE AVAILABLE….
For example at a caravan park:
• connect the power to the socket on the right hand side of the motorhome using the 15a cable
provided (do not use any other cable).
• Unlock the water inlet door on the right side of the motorhome and connect the water hose.
• Set the fridge to run on 240v (plug symbol)
Hot Water (240v Electric)
• Inside motorhome, flick tap to hot and ensure water is flowing
• Outside motorhome, open the hot water cover and turn switch to ON (do not use the switch
inside the camper).
• Close hot water door
• HWS takes ~20 minutes to heat water

IF YOU ARE FREE CAMPING….
I.e. there is no mains water/240v power available. In this case you are reliant on the 100l water tanks,
the 100a/h battery, and the 2 x 4.5Kg gas cylinders.
• Make sure water tank is full. It is filled via the filler inside the water inlet hatch on the right side
of the motorhome.
• Switch on the water pump using the switch on the control panel. The control panel also shows
how much water is remaining and battery status.
• Turn on the gas bottles, making sure to push down on the gas fuse.
• Set the fridge to gas (gas symbol) and ignite by holding down button a pressing igniter until
lit. The red needle on the small green and white gauge will move to the green area once the
fridge is lit.
Hot Water (Gas)
• Outside motorhome, open the hot water cover and make sure switch is set to OFF
• Inside motorhome, ensure battery switch and water pump are on
• flick tap to hot and ensure water is flowing
• Turn on the white ‘Water Heater’ switch inside the motorhome. A red light will ignite and remain
lit until the hot water burner has ignited. Turn switch off when not in use.
• Do not light the hot water with no water in the tanks.
• HWS takes ~20 minutes to heat water
MISCELLANEOUS SETUP
• Connect the black 25mm sullage hose to the barbed connector under the motorhome just
behind the L/h rearwheel (if you can't find it run the tap and look for the water coming out!)
TV/DVD
The antenna is permanently mounted to the roof. Simply wind up and pull the ring & turn to face the
nearest transmitter (Antenna Mate app is very useful for this!)
If you are at a motorhome park that provides reticulated TV signals simply plug their cable into the
external aerial socket.

Barbecue
• Turn on gas, making sure to push gas fuse (instruction for the gas fuse are in the folder also)
• Connect barbecue to the motorhome using the bayonet fitting under the left hand side (push
bayonet into fitting and turn to secure)
It is advisable to place aluminium foil around the bowl of the barbecue to ensure that it is returned
clean

SIT DOWN & ENJOY!
That’s it! All that’s left to do is put out the annex mat, set up the table and chairs, and relax. Enjoy
your holiday!

PACKING UP
Packing up is almost a reverse of the setting up process but there are a few differences - the sequence
is often important.
Whilst the instructions may say to return something to the front or side boot, it may be easier to lay
everything neatly on the ground as you take things down and then return them to their appropriate
storage in one go.
INITIAL STEPS
• Turn off water pump
• Turn off hot water (inside motorhome if using gas, or from the hot water unit outside if using
240v)
• Turn fridge off
• Clean & return all cutlery, plates, utensils etc
• Close roof hatch but leave fly screen & shade open
• Close all windows
• Turn off gas
• Disconnect all cables & hoses (including the sullage hose), drain, place in storage bags and
return to storage
• Close & lock water filler door
INTERIOR
• Now is a great time to sweep the motorhome!
• Make sure all doors, cupboards and drawers are closed and latches engaged
• Place BBQ, table, chairs etc inside motorhome under bed
• Close door
• Retract step
