weather using the steel wire pegs.
IMPORTANT do not over tension the mud
aps when pegging as this could cause
damage.
In stormy weather peg the 6 guy lines
provided 2 on each side and 2 on the front
corners.

Before setting off, the Camp-let must be packed with the weight evenly
spread. The optimum tow hitch weight is 25-30 kg. The bre glass
trailer body has a 600 ltr. capacity (aprox). There is extra storage space
on the luggage rack. It is better to load the Camp-let whilst it is up.
Quilts, suitcases etc. must be loaded on the R-H bed (not the lid side).
IMPORTANT— do not load too near the trailer sides, you must leave
enough space for the canvas and the polework. Heavy items must be
placed over the axle. NOTE – the maximum weight on the luggage rack
is 75 kg. (evenly loaded over the rack). DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXI-
MUM GROSS WEIGHT OF THE CAMP-LET, (specied on the trailer
plate).
Before you drive—check the following:
1: The Camp-let is correctly hitched onto the tow ball.
2: That the front and rear supporting legs are up.
3: All the lights are working.
4: The trailer lid and kitchen are correctly closed and locked.
5: Control that the air pressure in the tyres are 28 psi (2 Bar).
You would be well advised to take a spare wheel.
Whilst travelling, remember the Camp-let is hitched on.
Remember before you go…

13
If you have packed away the Camp-let wet or even slightly damp, you
must set up and completely dry it out (within 24 hours).
If you have been travelling in wet conditions you must open up the
Camp-let (within 24 hours) to check that water has not seeped in.
Carry out the same check after you wash the Camp-let.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS ADVICE WILL CAUSE DAMP STAINES
- MILDEW - ROT AND A LARGE REPAIR BILL.
Remember when you get home…

14
Dismantling is in reverse order, remember to fold down the back
rest and lye the cushions in the bottom of the trailer. Remove the
centre awning pole and put the protective sleeves on. Take care
not to trap the canvas under the lid and around the kitchen area.
Front and rear clamps must be closed and the kitchen is locked.
Remember to wind up the rear steadies.
After you have taken delivery from your dealer you will have
been given a detailed demonstration, it is recommended to set it
up at home for two reasons. Firstly to further familiarise yourself
and secondly to weather the canvas. Peg the canvas down then
expose the canvas to rain or morning dew. To avoid shrinkage,
the canvas must be evenly pegged out until bone dry. Once the
canvas is dry it is then weathered and waterproof.

Ventilation for the sleeping
compartments.
Kitchen window guyed out for ventila-
tion.
Curtain clips. The under bed storage can be mounted
before the lid is lifted over.
The entire side window can be zipped/
rolled up, so the window area is one big
mosquito net.
The veranda doors/windows can be
totally or partially opened.

16
Winter storage
Clean the tent for stains/spots and clean the mud ap. The can-
vas can be removed by opening the zip pockets on the poles and
slide out the canvas from the tent rail.
Canvas and mattresses must be kept dry. Wash the glass bre
body with a mild soap. Hinges, fasteners, spindles, coupling and
connecting link etc. must be lubricated.
The optimum way to store the Camp-let is in the garage or car-
port. It is possible to store the Camp-let on its side (in a garage)
using Camp-let side storage brackets available from your dealer.
If the Camp-let must be stored out side, the tent – mattresses
– inner tents – etc. must be removed and stored indoors.

17
Regular maintainance…
Tent:
Clean the canvas and mud aps (ask your dealer for advice).
Remember if the canvas is wet or damp always thoroughly dry
it within 24 hours.
Canvas and stitching can be waterproofed again if necessary
(ask your dealer for advice).
Glass bre body:
Wash the body with a mild soap, which does not contain
abrasive.
The body should at least once a year be waxed with car wax.
Wheels, axles & hinges:
Check the wheel bearings for slackness and abnormal sounds.
If your Camp-let is tted with overrunning brakes, disconnect
the brake drum, check the brake linings and remove brake
dust.
Lubricate the links and cables and adjust the brakes (to be
done once a year or for every 3000 km). Check the tyres for
wear and tear, or a possible puncture. For inspection, use the
rear supporting legs as a jack (also use the winding handle as
wheel wrench).
Re-tighten the wheels, axles and coupling etc. (to be done for
every 3000 km).
