Caravan Use and Care
Please note that your caravan is a recreational vehicle. If the vehicles use is outside of its
intended purpose i.e., not as a recreational vehicle, some warranty items may be void
and the expected lifespan of some components may be reduced.
Correct care and regular maintenance of your recreational vehicle is essential.
To ensure maximum life of your battery:
1. Ensure battery charge is maintained
2. DO NOT let batteries run completely flat
3. DO NOT overcharge batteries. Trickle charge when not in use
for extended periods (6 months or more)
Brakes must be serviced after the first 1000 to 2000 kms of use and
every 5000 to 10,000 kms thereafter.
Rust can set in very quickly -
1. Ensure vehicle is stored dry and where possible covered to
protect vehicle from dirt and weather which can cause rust.
2. Regular greasing of hand brake cables and nipples
Panels will need to be kept clean to ensure maximum efficiency.
Ensure toilets tanks are cleaned out and dried if caravan is to be put
into storage.
Ensure correct tyre pressure for use; running tyres flat on a tar road
will cause inner tyre wear and tyre wall damage.
Tyres (including the spare) should be inspected after every 2,000 kms
and at least once every 12 months regardless of use as some storage
conditions can reduce the expected life of the tyre.
Ensure tyre lugs are tightened to 145 Nm. If lugs become loose the
tyre may detach from the van.
