Before using this product, you should be certain your tow vehicle is suitably rated and equipped to tow the
product safely and legally. The trailer and vehicle pairing must we within the safe “Maximum Towing Capacity”,
“Tongue Weight Capacity” and “Gross Combination Weigh Rating” as stated by the vehicle manufacturer.
This caravan is fitted with electric brakes and a “Breakaway System”. You must supply a maintenance charge to
the breakaway battery source while driving. You MUST ensure this capability is fitted to your vehicle. The
maintenance charge is supplied to the trailer via the Anderson plug on the drawbar.
WARNING: BALL LOADING (DOWNWARD LOAD ON TOW HITCH) MUST NOT EXCEED 771 lb OR THE
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LOAD BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER OR TOW TONGUE RATING, WHICH
EVER IS THE LOWEST. Exceeding these limits may result in an accident causing serious injury or death and/or
property damage.
It is important to load your trailer correctly to distribute weight evenly and achieve a suitable ball weight
load and prevent loading in a manner that can cause a Caravan to sway and/or roll excessively left and
right. The industry optimum ball weight on a caravan is between 9 and 11% of the total trailer weight.
MDC trailers fit into this category and 10% should be used as the starting point.
