• Always check the drawbar load before you
start to drive!
• The specied drawbar load (see handbook
or type plate) and the permissible overall
mass of the base vehicle and the camper may
not be exceeded!
How to adjust the correct drawbar load:
1. Determine the maximum drawbar load of your
base vehicle by checking its documentation,
the type plate or the drawbar plate.
2. Your HOBBY camper has a maximum per-
missible drawbar load of 100 kg.
3. Adjust the drawbar load on the camper to the
lower of the two values by loading it careful-
ly. At the same time, try to make full use of
this value.
4. The lower of the two specied values for the
drawbar load, i.e. that of the base vehicle or
the camper, may not be exceeded.
Roof loads
The height of the camper may vary on each drive
depending on the roof load.
Rules for roof load
• Add the measurements of the roof load to
the height of the camper.
• Post a note in a highly visible area of the base
vehicle which lists the total vehicle height.
Then you will no longer have to calculate the
height at bridges and thoroughfares.
• Roof loads have a negative effect on the
camper's driving performance and should,
therefore, be avoided.
The maximum permissible roof load
while driving is 50 kg!
Brakes
A trailer carriage behaves differently from an
individual vehicle while braking. Therefore, it is
advis-able (especially for inexperienced drivers)
to conduct several braking tests on a suitable
surface. The braking distance for a carriage is
