Appropriate adapters and tting components are available for sub-
sequent assembly of roof awnings. Please speak to your HOBBY
dealer.
The roof awning should always be assembled by an authorised
specialist.
The maximum permissible total width and total height may not be
exceeded by installing an awning.
Alternatively, a rear-mounted bicycle carrier may be selected
(except in the Premium and Landhaus models).
The driving performance of the camper changes considerably when
there are bicycles on the carrier. The speed should be adjusted to
these circumstances:

If the rear-mounted bicycle carrier is not required, it must be folded up
and secured. To do this, use the clip
j
and the separate fastenings
included in the accessory kit.
When driving with bicycles, the bicycle carrier must be unfolded and
the straps
k
must be rmly lashed. The front and back wheels of
each bicycle must be rmly lashed using the straps
k
. The fasten-
ings included in the accessory kit are used for the frame.

• Ensure that full use is made of the permissible drawbar load and
corrected accordingly when there are bicycles on the carrier.
• The critical speed sinks drastically even if the carrier has been
optimally loaded.
• The driver of the vehicle is responsible for ensuring that bicycles
have been fastened securely. The loading system must be folded
up and secured by means of the clips at hand even if nothing has
been loaded.
• Ensure that the load does not partially or fully cover existing illu-
mination devices.
The maximum permissible load for the bicycle carrier
is 30 kg.

• An awning oers protection from the sun, not against
the elements.
• Do not place people or obstacles in the extension/re-
traction area of the awning.
• The awning winding mechanism is tted with a mecha-
nical block control to limit the extent to which it can be
extended. Never attempt to exceed the block control by
force.
• Always support the awning with the integrated struts
when extended.
• The awning must always be completely retracted and
secured before driving.
