Setting up campsite
Picking a spot that is relatively level, gets sun during the day and is not under any large tree’s,
especially Gum trees, is important.
If you are free camping, do not set up too close to a river or in an area that is prone to flash flooding.
Stabiliser Leg
Levelling ramps will need to be used if excessive side to side levelling is required. Front to back
levelling is done using the jockey wheel. Once the camper is level, drop down the stabiliser legs.
These are only designed to be used for reducing the movement in the camper when set up, these are
not to be used for levelling.
Using a drill or any power tool to adjust the height of the stabiliser leg will damage the internal
components of the leg and will void the warranty.
Jockey wheel
The camper is supplied with the Ark XO500 jockey wheel. This jockey wheel not only winds up and
down, but it also has adjustments available in the outer shaft, so no matter what vehicle or ground
level you are setting up on, you can safely adjust the jockey wheel.
The handle is removable, keep this somewhere inside your camper or vehicle when travelling.

It is important however, to never move the camper when the jockey wheel is extended past
the safe moving line on the extension shaft. The safe working load limit reduces past this line, and it
may cause the jockey wheel to bend or break under the load.
