Maverick Campers Operations Manual 2021
ST ORA G E GU ID E
Whilst we would all love to be out enjoying the beautiful land, we call home all the time, sadly, for most of us we still
have to work and therefore the Maverick Camper trailer or hybrid needs to be stored between trips. Below is a list of
actions you should take to ensure your trailer or van are always ready to go and in peak condition for the longest period
possible. Here is the list of actions we recommend:
- Store your trailer out of the weather – Ideally in a garage or somewhere where rain, sun and wind cannot affect
the condition or look of your trailer or van. Whist the trailers and vans are built tough, the Australian climate
can have impact on metals, rubbers and electrical over time if not protected. If you are not able to store your
trailer or van in a garage, we highly recommend purchasing a heavy-duty cover to protect your prized
possession. This is a cost-effective solution to fix the problem.
- Clean your trailer or van regularly - At the end of each trip, take your trailer or van to the self-service car wash
and give it a proper clean inside and out. Mud, dust, rocks, twigs, grass etc are all objects you can expect to see
on or in your van or trailer after a decent off-road trip. To maintain a clean and tidy environment free from the
threat of rust, mould, fire hazards and other risks, it is highly recommended you clean and dry all aspects of your
van or trailer ready for your next trip.
- Connect your onboard charger to 240v – Batteries have a life expectancy of approximately 3 to 5 years. By
keeping them charged and managed by the charger you are prolonging their life and keeping them at peak
performance. If you don’t not regularly charge your batteries, they will slowly drain voltage and will eventually
die. When this happens, you are looking at replacement which on a dual or triple battery setup (as found in our
campers and hybrids) you are looking at nearly $1,000 to replace. Keep them
- Leave the doors open if possible – This helps with increasing the life span of the seals due to not having them
constantly under pressure. It also allows the van or trailer to breath.
