INTRODUCTION
WARNING– Before using this product you should read this manual and those manuals supplied by
component manufacturers applicable tothis product.
This manual is supplied as a reference to required maintenance of your new Ezytrail Caravan.
Failure to use and maintain the product in accordance with what is outlined in this manual may
affect your warranty.
Incorrect and/or insufficient maintenance may cause product failure resulting in property loss,
damage, injury or death. Maintenance intervals are critical for normal use, extreme use may require shorter or additional
maintenance intervals.
Manual content does not imply, express or other any warranty, the owner should read the limited warranty terms included
in this booklet.
Before using this product, you should be certain your tow vehicle is suitably rated and equipped to tow the product safely
and legally. The trailer and vehicle pairing must be within the safe “Maximum Towing Capacity”, “Ball Weight Capacity”
and “Gross Combination Mass” as stated by the vehicle manufacturer.
This caravan is fitted with electric brakes and a “Breakaway System”. Requirements for breakaway systems can vary
from state to state. It is mandatory to supply a maintenance charge to the breakaway battery source while driving. You
MUST ensure this capability is fitted to your vehicle. The maintenance charge is supplied to the caravan via the Anderson
plug onthedrawbar.
WARNING: BALL LOADING (DOWNWARD LOAD ON TOW HITCH) MUST NOT EXCEED 300KG 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 serious injury or death and/or property damage.
It is important to load your caravan correctly to distribute weight evenly and achieve a suitable ball weight load and
prevent loading in a manner that can cause a camper to sway and/or roll excessively left and right. The optimum ball
weight on a caravan is between 9 and 11% of the total camper weight.
TERMINOLOGY & ABBREVIATIONS
Ball Weight: The downward load exerted on the tow point of the vehicle by the trailer
Tare Weight: The total weight of the unoccupied, unladen trailer ready for use with all included fitments from the supplier.
Empty water tanks.
ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass): The total mass of the laden trailer when carrying the maximum load recommended by the
manufacturer. This includes any mass imposed upon the drawing vehicle when the combination vehicle is resting on the
horizontal supporting plane.
GTM (Gross Trailer Mass): The mass transmitted to the ground by the axle or axles of the trailer when coupled to a
drawing vehicle and carrying its’ maximum load approximately uniformly distributed over the load bearing area.
GCM (Gross Combination Mass): This is the total allowable combined mass of tow vehicle and trailer as determined by the
tow vehicle manufacturer
Camber: Camber angle is the measure in degrees of the difference between the wheels vertical alignment perpendicular
to the surface. If a wheel is perfectly perpendicular to the surface, its camber would be 0 degrees. Camber is described as
negative when the top of the tyre begins to tilt inward towards the chassis rail.

SETTING UP YOUR CARAVAN
LOADING YOUR CARAVAN
When heading away on your next big adventure it is important to load your caravan 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 9 and 11% of the total caravan weight.
WARNING: BALL LOADING (DOWNWARD LOAD ON TOW HITCH) MUST NOT EXCEED 300KG OR THE MAXIMUM
ALLOWABLE LOAD BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER OR TOW BAR RATING, WHICHEVER IS THE LOWEST.
Exceeding these limits may result in an accident causing serious injury or death and/or property damage.
•Always load both sides of the caravan evenly
•Load heavy items low and directly over the axle.
•Secure all items to prevent damage to the caravan during travel.
•Consider water tank levels and how they may affect the balance front and back and the percentage of ball weight.
•Overhead cupboards should only be used for lightweight items such as clothes, personal items, bedding etc.
•Never store heavy items in overhead cupboards.
•Heavy cooking equipment should be stored in lower cupboards.
•Tinned and bottled food for cooking etc should be stored in the pantry cupboard.
•Never load in a manner that causes the ball weight to exceed the limit of the tow vehicle.
•The diagram below illustrates best placements of items based on weight.
This caravan is fitted with electric brakes and a “Breakaway System”. Requirements for breakaway systems can vary

Levelling front to back can be done by raising
and lowering the jockey wheel prior to
adjusting the stabiliser legs.
The stabiliser legs on your caravan are not
designed for supporting the full weight of the
trailer, they are there to stabilise it once it is
level.
Getting the trailer level from left to right
should be done with drive on stepped ramps as
illustrated here.
Once levelled the legs can be lowered to keep
the trailer stable. On soft ground you may want
to use timber boards under the stabiliser feet.
Using your stabilisers as a lifting mechanism
will void your warranty as will extending them
with a rattle gun, impact wrench or electric drill/
drill driver .
SITE POWER
The onboard charger in your caravan is
connected via the 15A exterior socket.
To use site power, you will require a
15A power lead connected to a 15A
outlet, as shown. In the event a 15A
outlet is unavailable you will need a
conversion box that will step up from
10A to 15A with a safety switch. Never
leave power leads coiled when in use,
lay the lead out back and forward in a
manner that won’t be a trip hazard or
risk damage to the lead.
CHOOSING A SPOT TO SET UP
When you arrive at your camp for the night it is important to choose a good spot to camp. One that will allow you to
rest easy. When choosing a spot to set up your caravan, start with a flat area with no overhanging trees. Birds and bats
occupying trees can leave droppings on your caravan that can damage paint.Sap can also stain the coating.
Ensure you are not camping in an area prone to flooding or with bad drainage in the event of rain.
Even the slightest hollow in the ground can put you in a mini lake. In hot weather if possible, set your caravan up so the
suns arc goes from front to back or back to front with the annex/awning in the general direction the sun is arcing across.
Doing this will keep the bulk of the caravan in shade and the inside cooler as it will be shaded by the awning.
Please note that when choosing a set up spot you do have to consider you solar panels and the sun that charges them.
LEVELLING YOUR CARAVAN
AWNING
When extending the awning always support the front as it extends. Do not allow the awning to carry the full extended weight
as this may damage the hinges. Support the end manually by hand or by using the extendable legs
See apppendix A3 for instructions on how to set up your awning
www.ezytrail.com.au 8

PACKING UP YOUR CARAVAN
PACKING DOWN YOUR CARAVAN
When packing down your caravan check the following:
•Turn off all gas and electric appliances
• Gas is turned off at the gas bottle - appliance hoses are disconnected and stowed
• Pack away and secure all loose items so they can’t move and damage themselves or the caravan
• Secure and lock all cabinet doors, and close all drawers
• Remove and stow the site power lead
• Ensure doorstep is raised and secured
•Ensure all windows are closed and locked
• Close and lock the main door
• All dust covers in place and secure
www.ezytrail.com.au 9

PREPARING FOR BAD WEATHER
During bad weather such as rain, wind, or cyclone, the following should be done:
• Close all roof vents and hatches to prevent water entering.
• Protect the awning from high winds by retracting or securing with guy ropes and pegs.
• Ensure your caravan is not parked in ground that will become boggy and prevent exiting the camp area
• Close all external doors and hatches to prevent water ingress and wind damage
EXTRAS
STORAGE AND CARE
LONG TERM STORAGE
To maximise the life of your caravan you should consider additional protection from the elements. UV light and moisture
can have an adverse effect on materials when left unprotected outside. This section outlines some of the things you can
do as an owner to protect your investment.
INTERIOR
Moisture and your camper are not friends, in fact they are your enemy. Here are some tips to reduce moisure and avoid
mould. High humidity and cooling temperatures can create condensation, additionally condensation can form under
mattresses due to temperature differences between warm bodies on top and the bed base being cold from outside
temperatures.
As a precaution you can do the following:
• Check under mattress for moisture before packing up. If moisture is found allow to thoroughly dry
before closing your caravan.
• Store 1 or 2 moisture absorbing packs/dehumidifier packs in the caravan to draw away any
residual water vapour.
• If packing up with damp or humid conditions, open and dry out the caravan at the first opportunity
when returning home. Dry all canvas thoroughly and follow point 2.
EXTERIOR
Ensure all seals on the caravan have proper compression at 30-50%, are free of dirt and have nothing protruding past the
seals. UV light and the elements can over time cause seals and fittings to perish and become brittle. The use of a camper
cover or tarpaulin will extend the life of components and keep your investment looking better for longer.
WINTON SERIES

STORAGE AND CARE
BATTERIES
When storing your caravan, make sure all power is turned off to ensure batteries aren’t drained. Batteries should be
maintenance charged atleast monthly when stored.
If storing for a period longer than 1 month, consider a trickle charge setup, or a 24hours charge on 240V every few
weeks. Do not leave the 240V charge on constantly, as the battery memory can be affected.
Allowing batteries to cycle below 12.5 volts regulary will shorten battery life and permanently damage them. Prior to
storage batteries must charged to 100% for 24hours.
PAINTWORK
The paint coatings on your caravan are no different to that of your car in that they need regular care and maintenance.
Washing: Only use mild detergents free of ammonia when washing your caravan. Always check the label to ensure the
washing solution is nonabrasive, contains no ammonia or caustics.
Polishing: New caravans should only be polished with wax-based polishes that are nonabrasive. When removing scratches
from paintwork use a fine finishing compound. Cutting pastes are too abrasive and will expose the base material.
Protection: Carnauba wax is an excellent protection against oxidisation. The paint on your caravan should be waxed annually
regardless of being kept under cover to protect the surfaces from oxidisation
INTERNAL SURFACES
Laminates and internal wall surfaces should be cleaned with a damp soft cloth. For stubborn marks use a mild detergent
based cleaner.
**Do not use cleaners that contain ammonia or caustics**
ACRYLIC WINDOWS
Windows should be cleaned with a clean, soft, nonabrasive cloth to avoid scratches and soapy water.
**Do not use cleaners that contain ammonia or solvents**
MIRRORS
Do not use solvents or chemicals when cleaning mirrors. Warm water and a soft clean cloth is the best method. Cleaners
and solvents may affect the reflective backing causing what’s know as “creep” where the edges of the mirror discolour.
SHADE AND SCREEN CARE
• Do not close blinds while window is open. Air pressure can dislodge the blind material from its guide damaging it.
• Always open and close blinds and screens carefully and evenly with two hands ensuring screens and blind material
feeds evenly through the guides.
TOILET CARE & MAINTENANCE: CHEMICALS
Always use water treatment and conditioning products recommended by the manufacturer.
Thetford
Waste Holding Tank: The recommended product for the waste holding tank on Thetford toilet systems is Aqua Kem Blue
or Aqua Kem Green for better environmental performance.
www.ezytrail.com.au 11

SECURING YOUR CARAVAN
When parked and unhitched you should always use suitable wheel chocks to ensure the trailer can’t move in the event of
a handbrake failure. For security a wheel clamp or and hitch lock are highly recommended.
Cleaning Cassette Tank: “Cassette Tank Cleaner” is the recommended product for this application.
Flush Water Tank: Only suitable for Ezytrail models that have a toilet flush tank. ***Do not add to main water tanks!
*** Thetford recommend “Aqua Rinse”

TORQUE SETTINGS
WHEEL NUTS
Wheel nuts should be tightened to correct torque using a torque wrench. Never trust a “rattle gun” as these may over or
under tighten. A quality torque wrench will ensure nuts are tightened correctly. It’s important to remember to check your
wheel nuts at 50km, 100km, and 500km and periodically thereafter.
The correct torque settings are: 135Nm (100ft-lbs) for 1/2” studs or 190Nm (140 ft-lbs) for 9/16” stud.
HITCH
The high tensile bolts securing your hitch should be tightened to 180Nm.
These should be checked at 5,000km intervals.
TRAILING ARM PIVOT BOLTS
The pivot bolts are a high tensile steel. The service interval for these bolts is 1,000km after delivery, 10,000km under
normal use and 5,000km for harsh off-road conditions. During travel they should be inspected daily to ensure they have
not rotated or become damaged. Correct torque is 190Nm

BRAKES AND HANDBRAKE
BRAKE CONTROLLER*
Your trailer is fitted with electric brakes that require a brake controller that can be operated from the drivers seat.
1. Manually adjustable to provide the correct braking capability for varying road, off-road and load conditions.
2. They can be modulated to provide variable braking force, thus easing the brake load on the towing vehicle.
3. There is very little lag time between the moment the tow vehicle’s brakes are actuated and the moment the trailer
brakes are actuated.
4. They can provide some braking independent of the tow vehicle in the event of an emergency.
*The requirements can vary from state to state. It’s important to check what is required in your state.
OPERATION
When electrical current is fed into the system by the controller, it activates the electromagnets in the brakes. These
electromagnets are energized and are attracted to the rotating surface of the drums which moves the actuating levers in
the direction that the drums are turning thus applying pressure from the brake linings to the drum surface.
TRAILER PLUG WIRING
The following diagrams outline the correct wiring for flat and round 7 pin plugs:
7 Pin Small Round 7 Pin Large Round
WINTON SERIES
14

BRAKES AND HANDBRAKE
BREAKAWAYSWITCH
By law*, all trailers with a GTM of 2000kg or greater must have a “Breakaway System” to halt the trailer in the event it
becomes detached from the tow vehicle whilst traveling. Your caravan is fitted with this system with the switch mounted
on the drawbar with a steel wire lanyard to connect to your tow vehicle. In the event that the caravan becomes detached,
the lanyard will pull the pin from the breakaway switch and the onboard batteries will activate the brake system. The
lanyard must be attached to a solid part of the vehicle. It is a mandatory requirement that power be supplied by the tow
vehicle to the breakaway power source while towing. This is done via the 50amp Anderson Plug on the drawbar. Consult a
qualified auto electrician to ensure this is fitted to your tow vehicle.
In NSW there is an additional requirement that the breakaway power source be monitored from the driver position with
a minimum of a “visual alarm” for low battery voltage. Consult a qualified auto electrician to ensure this is fitted to your
vehicle.
*Each state can have different laws in regards to brakeaway systems.
It’s important to check what is required in your state.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT CONNECT THE BREAKAWAY LANYARD TO THE SAME POINT AS THE SAFETY CHAIN
SHACKLES.
•DO NOT USE THE BREAKAWAY AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE HANDBRAKE AND DO NOT REMOVE THE
PIN AS AN ALTERNATIVE SECURITY MEASURE. REMOVING THE PIN WILL RAPIDLY DISCHARGE THE
BATTERIES.
• IT IS A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT THAT THE BREAKAWAY BATTERY SOURCE BE CHARGED DURING
TOWING.
• NSW REQUIRES A BATTERY MONITOR VIEWABLE FROM THE DRIVERS POSITION WITH A MINIMUM OF
A VISUAL ALARM FOR LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE
Breakaway Switch Anderson Plug

HAND BRAKE
Parking brakes are mechanically operated by a cable.
Use the cable adjuster to give enough tension to be able to set the handbrake lever on the last two notches of the coupling or
handbrake is 1/3 raised when unladen. This needs to be checked again when the trailer or caravan is loaded. If the cable is too
tight, the brakes will be applied as the axle moves backward under spring deflection.
Adjuster Wheel
ADJUSTER
To adjust the handbrake cable tension release locknuts. To tighten the handbrake cable, turn the adjuster wheel in a
clockwise direction. Once adjusted retighten lock nuts and test. Always ensure that wheels turn freely when handbrake is off.
Overtightened cables can cause brakes to drag and damage the brake linings.
WINTON SERIES
16

BRAKES AND HANDBRAKE
CORRECT USE OF YOUR ELECTRIC BRAKES
Your trailer brakes are designed to work in synchronisation with your tow vehicle brakes.
Never use your tow vehicle or trailer brakes alone to stop the combined load. Your trailer and tow vehicle will seldom
have the correct amperage flow to the brake magnets to give you comfortable, safe braking unless you make proper
brake system adjustments. Changing trailer load and driving conditions, as well as uneven alternator and battery output,
can mean unstable current flow to your brake magnets.
It is therefore imperative that you maintain and adjust your brakes as set forth in the controller manual, use a properly
modulated brake controller and perform the synchronisation/adjustment procedure recommended by the brake controller
supplier.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Proven and in some cases approved service methods and correct repair procedures are
essential for the safe, reliable operation of the brakes, suspension and axles as well as the
personal safety of the individual doing the work.
The numerous variations in procedures, techniques, tools and parts for servicing axles, as well as
in the skill of the individual doing the work will determine outcomes. This manual cannot possibly
anticipate all such variations nor provide advice or cautions as to each. Accordingly, anyone who
departs from the instructions provided in this manual must first establish that they neither compromise their personal safety
nor the vehicle integrity by their choice of methods, tools or parts.
*IF AT ALL IN DOUBT PLEASE REFER ALL REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE TO A SUITABLY QUALIFIED OR EXPERIENCED
MECHANICAL REPAIRER.
*EZYTRAIL CAMPERS ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM INCORRECT
APPLICATIONS, METHODS AND FAILURE TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE SAFELY AND CORRECTLY.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Brakes should be adjusted:
1. after the first 1,000km of operation when the brake shoes and drums have “burnished”
2. at no more than 10,000km intervals.
3. or as use and performance requires.
Never crawl under your trailer unless it is resting on properly placed jack stands. Do not place
supports on any part of the suspension system and use the designated jack point or under the spring
base plate to jack trailer.
BRAKE CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Your trailer brakes must be inspected and serviced at 10,000km or more often as required by use and performance.
Magnets and shoes must be changed when they become worn or scored to avoid inefficient
vehicle braking.
BRAKE LUBRICATION
This should only be done by qualified persons.
CAUTION  DO NOT GET GREASE OR OIL ON THE BRAKE LININGS, DRUMS OR MAGNETS.
www.ezytrail.com.au 17

MAGNETS
Your electric brakes are equipped with high quality electromagnets that are designed to provide the proper input force and
friction characteristics. Your magnets should be inspected and replaced if worn unevenly or abnormally.
Even if wear is normal as indicated by your straightedge, the magnets should be replaced if any part of the magnet coil has
become visible through the friction material facing of the magnet. It is also recommended that the drum armature surface be
refaced when replacing magnets.
- Magnets should also be replaced in pairs - both sides of the axle.
- Always use genuine OEM parts.
SHOES AND LININGS
A simple visual inspection of your brake linings will tell if they are useable.
Replacement is necessary if the lining is worn (to within 1.5mm or less), contaminated with grease or oil or abnormally scored
or gouged. It is important to replace both shoes on each brake and both brakes of the same axle. This is necessary to retain the
“balance” of your brakes.
Be sure to replace your shoes only with genuine parts available from our outlets.
CORROSION PREVENTION
It’s important to take steps to prevent corrosion of parts on your trailer to extend the service life. Many fittings are high tensile
or zinc plated. Fittings such as this can benefit from additional protection. Some helpful products to prevent corrosion are
“Lanotec”, “WD40”, “Inox” and similar products. These can be spray applied and do a very good job of protecting metal surfaces,
particularly in corrosive and aggressive environments near the ocean and inland waterways.
Often, we take our campers and caravans to salt water or brackish environments. Driving through salt water is never
recommended as the residual chloride ions accelerate corrosion greatly. If you are camping near or driving through these kinds
of environments, we highly recommend that your trailer be thoroughly cleaned after use. Flushing the chassis and washing and
rinsing your trailer is important. Please note that caravan will need a hand wax treatment at least annually.

BATTERY CARE
Your camper is fitted with 100Ah Deep Cycle Batteries, designed to allow you to stay off the grid longer. Maintaining
these batteries will ensure a long service life. Storage type batteries require periodical maintenance to perform at their
peak and extend their service life. The following is an outline on how to gain the best performance and lifecycle from the
battery fitted in your camper:
• Give the batteries a maintenance charge at least once amonth.
• When possible leave the battery connected to a smart charger that will cycle and maintain the battery
during storage. If this isn’t possible check and charge at regular intervals to prevent excessive discharge.
• Ifpurchasing an after market battery charger always use a quality charger that caters to the voltage requirements of a
deep cycle battery.
• Never leave your battery stored at low volts. Before storing your camper ensure that battery/s is fully charged, and all
power isdisconnected/switched off.
• When in use try to keep your battery at or as close to maximum capacity as possible.
• Never use unregulated solar power direct to your batteries.
•Allowing your battery voltage to drop below 12.05V can permanently damage its performance
and reduce its service life.- change to batteries from before
