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
longer than that of an individual vehicle. The load

the braking distance.
Rules for braking
• Note the longer braking distance on wet
roads.
• When driving down mountains or steep hills,
do not use a higher gear than when driving
uphill.
• Principally, an overrunning brake system
cannot differentiate between a "normal"
braking procedure and driving over a pass,
which lasts for a longer period of time. This
can cause the wheel brakes to heat up
strongly so that, if necessary, you must give
 themsufcienttimetocooldown.
Driving in reverse
Your HOBBY camper has a braking system with
automatic reverse. This makes driving in reverse
possible without activating the overrunning bra-
ke. However, in addition to rolling resistance, the
residualbrakeforcemustrstbeovercome.

braking system will work normally again.
Rules for driving in reverse
• The camper tilts in the opposite direction in
which you steer.
• Use a guide when driving in reverse.
