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.
