Choosing a Camp Site
When choosing a campsite always consider the following:
• Choose a flat, even area when possible.
• Never camp under trees where there is a risk of branches falling.
• Camping in shade will reduce the performance of solar power charging.
• Always know the predicted weather conditions and plan accordingly. Avoid extreme weather conditions
for your safety.
• Avoid areas prone to flooding. Do not camp in riverbeds or flood basins.
Inclement Weather
Extreme weather and storms can damage fixtures on your trailer such as awnings, annexes and in extreme cases
the internal poles on tent top trailers. Users of the product must make reasonable choices to pack up to protect
the product based on weather predictions and actual events.
During periods of rain the awning on trailers must be set to ensure water cannot collect on top. The water must
always evacuate the awning to prevent damage. The illustration below sets out correct set up for rain on travel
trailers indicated by green arrow.
