BEFORE YOU SET OUT
Packing the COMBI-CAMP
• Inside the closed trailer there
is room for approx. 34 cubic feet
(1 cubic metre) worth of luggage
space. Furthermore, there is
luggage space on the roof rack
and in the cargo carrier fitted
under the bedroom floor. Please
note that packing must be carried
out in a way that ensures the
balance of the trailer.
• Heavy items should be placed on
the axle line even if only the roof
rack is used. The weight at the
hitch should be between 44-110
pounds (20 to 70 kg).
• Do not place lug-
gage too close to
the outer walls of
the trailer - there must be 8 inches
of space left to accommodate the
tent and frames. This will ensure
proper closure of the trailer lid.
• The approved gross weight
of all COMBI-CAMP trailer is 750
kg.
PLEASE NOTE!
Unzip the tent door and close the
vent flap when folding down the
trailer tent.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE TRAILER
Check points:
• Close and securely lock all locks on
trailer and kitchen
• Check the proper function of all road
lights before you start your trip
• It is important to tighten wheel nuts
after driving the first 200 km.
• If your COMBI-CAMP is equipped
with brakes, they must be adjusted
after driving the first 200 km.
• Check that your hitch is correctly
attached to the car.
• Check that the jockey wheel is
tightened and in it's upper position.
• Check your trailer speed limits
especially in foreign
countries and fit
your national
identification
plate.

OPENING THE TRAILER AND
ERECTING THE TENT
• Opening the trailer tent should be
carried out on a fairly level site.
• Remember it is not recommenda-
ble to place the trailer under trees.
Objects can fall down and eventually
damage or discolour the tent canvas.
• When the COMBI-CAMP is unhitched
and placed on the desired spot,
using the front support leg or jockey
wheel if fitted to level the trailer
tent.
• Wind down the rear jack legs until
trailer is level, it is recommended
to have a jack plate to avoid the leg
going into the ground, then unhook
the roof rack.
• Lift the roof rack over the trailer all
the way.
• Now open the top of the trailer, pull
it towards and past the position of the
roof rack and further until it reaches the
ground.
Never use the roof rack as a lever. Walk
into the tent and push up the two
connect poles on the centre trailer frame
until the tent is fully erected and tighten
the handscrew.
• The tent canvas is now erected. Adjust
the internal frame adjusters as shown.
Adjust the jockey wheel in order to level
the tent floor so that it is supported by
the roof rack which is now situated below
the floor. If required the two rear jack
legs can also be adjusted.

• Pull the rain protection skirt out
over the trailer and adjust the
nylon skirt over the floor edge.
• All windows are complete with
ventilation panels fitted with mos-
quito nets. Should you wish ven-
tilation, role the canvas part to
side and tie. Should it rain, the
panel can be opened just a little
with use of a guy rope into the
"D" ring located at the bottom of
the panel.
• The zippers on both ends of the
hinge should always be closed by
approx 15 cm.
• Finally the outside vent can be
opened. Zip up and place the
fibreglass section into the sleeve
and bend the section and insert
into the pocket in the other side.
FINAL ADJUSTMENT
Opening and final UK
Extra checkpoint when
setting up the main tent
• The bands with buckles on
all corners of the main tent
should be tight to avoid
leaking on these spots.
Has the buckle come loose,
make sure you pull the
band until the roof is flat
and then close the buckle
again.

• The height is adjusted on the two
legs. Adjust the integrated frames
and lock the adjuster.
• The side can now be pegged or
rolled back to the trailer.
IMPORTANT: make sure the
elastic flap is covering the
zipper.
Erection of integrated,
sun canopy/awning
The frame system is shown in fig. 6
• The body canvas is lowered by use
of two thumb screws, so that all
force is reduced from the tent
canvas and the integrated frames
can move freely. The canvas is
now zipped on to the COMBI-
CAMP.
• The sun canopy is put on top of
the integrated frames, whilst they
are pulled out. Both the frames 25
mm and 22 mm are pulled out,
such as the little pressure spring is
engaged into the 25 mm frame
and this is pulled out 3/4 way.
• Hereafter the front section of the
frame is attached (fig. 6). Now the
frame is adjusted so that the
canvas is nice and tight.

KITCHEN
• Regulator B is pressed down and
kept in this position for 10 seconds.
This is clearing the pipes from any
oxygen and gas, which may reach
the burner unit. This, on a new unit
can take a few attempts.
• The burner is ignited by pressing
button "E" down a few times.
Fridge
• Before using the fridge you
should clean the inside and out-
side with lukewarm water contai-
ning a mild detergent. From time
to time, the rubber-seal of the lid
should be rubbed with a little tal-
cum powder.
• The fridge can be used with
12v, 220/240v or gas (Propane
or Butane only). The regulator
supplied is to fit the blue
Camping Gaz bottle.
Electric operation
• If you wish the unit to operate
from 12v, it is advisable to pre-
cool with mains 12 hours before
going on tour. Mains are conected
by using the two pin plug fitted
on the back of the fridge unit.
Liquid gas operation

• Do not damage the wiring of the
lights when placing items in the
kitchen.
• When the desired temperature
is reached regulator "B" is turned
backwards towards position

separately.
Fitting the regulator
to gas bottle
• Screw the regulator on to the bottle
until tight. The regulator is open
when in position "O" and closed in
position "F".
The water tap
• The water tap is electrically ope-
rated and should be powered by
two batteries placed into the battery
box behind the lower plastic drawer.
Two batteries type 4R 25, 6 volts
should be used. They are not sup-
plied. When the water tap is turned
on, the pump in the water container
is activated. After a few seconds the
water will flow.

• Separate all poles, make sure they
are dry, and put them in the provi-
ded bag.
• The telescopic poles of the
awning should be taken out and
stored dry, together with the
other poles.
• Leaking on seams can be solved
by using a seam sealer. Since cot-
ton is a natural material, colour
difference in different parts of the
tent may occur.

vinegar and a soft brush. More resi-
stant dirt can often be removed with
the use of a vacuum cleaner.
The tent
• The COMBI-
CAMP can be very easily ope-
ned and closed even in rainy
weather. If you had to pack
in misty weather it is advisable
to open the trailer as soon as
possible to give it fresh air and
to dry the tent canvas and the
mattresses, otherwise you may
face mould and consequently
rot. However, should signs of
such occur the only treatment
is to dry the attacked spot
thoroughly and then brush it
down, clean and re-impregnate
the canvas.
• It is therefore important that
your COMBI-CAMP is not left
wet for longer periods than 24
hours when closed.
• Use of chemical cleaners is
not advisable.
• Please note that mattress
covers shold be dry-cleaned.
• Normal dirt can be washed
with water adding a little
Be good to your COMBI-CAMP, this will serve both you and your
COMBI-CAMP best. A reasonable maintenance will ensure you a relia-
ble trailer tent for many years to come.
MAINTENANCE

Chassis / Roof rack
• Both the chassis and the roof rack
have an effective rust proofing.
The roof rack has been fitted with
plastic protectors to minimise
damage to the roof rack when
opened against the ground.
Before the first trip:
• When you open your COMBI-
CAMP for the first time, we
strongly recommend that the tent
canvas is sprayed with water. Even
the finest impregnated cotton can-
vas is not 100% effective before
the first rain shower.
• Whilst the tent is sprayed and
later drying, it is important that
the windows and doors remain clo-
sed as to secure a uniform shrin
king of the tent canvas.
All our cotton tent canvases are
designed "shrink to fit". Do not
fold down the tent before it is
absolutely dry.
• The tent canvas is made from a
natural cotton product. Should you
experince a slight leak around the
stiching of the canvas this can be
cured by impregnating the seams
with seal seam.
Storage
• See that the trailer and tent are
completly dry before storage.
• You are well advised to remove mattres
ses as well as the inner tent and store in
a totally dry spot during the winter.
