GENERAL SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY

Please read before using your new
motorhome.

In order for you to get the most out of your new
Explorer Group motorhome it is necessary for
you to be aware of the following:

(i) Do not obstruct ventilators (See Safety

Section - Ventilation)

(ii) Inspect the flexible gas hose regularly for

deterioration and renew as necessary, with
approved type, as and in any case no later
than the expiry date stated on the hose.

(iii) It is recommended that you provide a dry

powder fire extinguisher complying with
ISO 7165 of at least 1 KG capacity by the
exit door and a fire blanket next to the
cooker. Ensure you read the ‘advice to
occupier label’ fitted to your motorhome.

(iv) Never use portable cooking or heating

equipment inside your motorhome. Do
not use your fitted cooking equipment as
heating at any time.

(v) Never allow modification to your gas or

electrical system unless qualified persons
carry them out. A Gas Safe Register™
approved gas fitter should carry out all
modification to the gas system. Any
modifications carried out on the electrical
system should be carried out by an
electrician on the roll of the NICEIC or be
a member of the ECA.

(vi) Never exceed your motorhome’s

Maximum Technical Permissible Laden
Mass.

(vii) Never exceed the front or rear axle

maximum load as specified by the Peugeot
weight plate under the bonnet.

(viii) Please ensure extra care when young

children use high level bunks and always
use the safety net provided.

(ix) With the exception of the Alde heating

system ensure all the gas taps for the
appliances are turned off before travelling..

(x) Do not leave children under 14 years of

age unattended in your motorhome.

(xii) Only those seats designated for travelling

should be occupied when the motorhome
is in motion.

(xiii) Please note that motorhomes are covered

by the new seat belt regulations, which
came into force in October 2006. These
require children that are under 12 years
old and also under 135cm in height to be
seated in either child seats or on bolster
cushions.

Proper And Safe Use Of Storage Areas In
Motorhomes

The storage areas provided in your motorhome
are designed solely for the purpose of carrying
personal possessions; these areas must not be
used:

• As a habitation area (e.g. living, sleeping or
cooking).

•To carry passengers, animals or livestock.

•For the installation (or use) of any LPG gas
operated appliances, (unless supplied fitted by
the manufacturer).

•For carrying LPG gas bottle cylinders, (unless
designated by the manufacturer).

•To carry any flammable liquids, (unless
properly stored, sealed and secured).

•For the operation of an electrical generator.

• In such a way that the loading exceeds the
payload limit, as defined by the manufacturer.

• Such that the weight distribution of the
vehicle means non-compliance with the
vehicle axle loads.

Care must be taken to ensure that exterior
doors are closed, locked and that all possessions
are properly stored and secured before setting
off on any journey.

2-1

GENERAL SAFETY

VENTILATION

All motorhomes manufactured by The Explorer
Group are ventilated at both high and low level in
accordance with BS EN 721 Safety Ventilation. The
fixed ventilation points fitted in your motorhome
must not be blocked under any circumstances as
your safety may depend upon them. It is advisable
that the fixed ventilation points are checked and
cleaned (where necessary) on a regular basis.

High-Level Ventilation

This is always provided by fixed ventilation within
the fitted roof skylight. All roof skylights fitted by
Explorer Group provide fixed free area
ventilation. These roof skylights should be cleaned
annually by use of a small brush to remove any
dust that may have accumulated around the mesh
fitted. On some roof skylights the mesh can be
easily removed to aid cleaning. On fan-assisted
roof skylights it is essential that the fan is
switched off prior to cleaning

Low-Level Ventilation

The vents built into the step by the main
entrance door provide lowlevel ventilation. These
vents should be kept clear and cleaned regularly
using soapy water.

FIRE SAFETY

Fire Extinguishers

It is recommended that a 1 kg (21b) minimum
capacity dry powder fire extinguisher be carried
inside your motorhome at all times. Fat pan fire
must not have an extinguisher aimed at it, but
must be smothered with a fire blanket.

In Case Of Fire

(i) Get everyone out of the motorhome as

quickly as possible using whichever exit is
quickest including windows. Do not stop to
collect any personal items.

(ii) Raise the alarm. Call the fire brigade.

(iii) Turn off gas container valve if safe to do so.

Fire Retardant Foams

Under the requirements of the Consumer
Protection Act 1987, the manufacturer has a
responsibility to ensure that their product is as
safe as possible. With this in mind all
motorhomes are equipped with either
Combustion Modified High Resilient (CMHR)
foam cushions or sprung mattresses. These foams
are very much safer from a fire point of view than
those previously used. In addition all upholstery is
made of fire retardant fabric.

Ventilation in Separate Bedrooms

In motorhomes with separated sleeping areas,
separate ventilation is required and is provided
via a roof skylight at high level and a ventilator at
low level within a bed box.

Gas Dispersal Holes

All appliances and gas unions have a gas dispersal
hole nearby. It is essential that these are not
blocked or made ineffective.

2-2

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

Before venturing out on to the road with your
motorhome, it is important that you prepare
correctly.

MOTORHOME WEIGHTS EXPLAINED

Mass in Running Order

The weight of your motorhome as it leaves the
factory, as new with standard fixtures and fittings,
plus an allowance for the driver of 75kgs and the
mass of the fuel when the tank is full, 90% of the
water carried in the water tank and an allowance
for the gas bottles.

Maximum Technically Permissible Laden
Mass

The maximum mass the vehicle can be when fully
laden for use on the road.

User Payload

The load margin (payload), this represents the
difference between the Mass in Running Order
and the Maximum Technically Permissible Laden
Mass. It shows the maximum weight that can be
loaded into your motorhome, covering items
such as food, crockery, cutlery, clothing, bedding,
etc.

Loading

It should be noted that even weight distribution
is a major factor in making your motorhome an
easy and pleasant vehicle to drive. Care should
therefore be taken in balancing the load, ensuring
that heavy items are well spaced and are in as low
a position as possible, for example, low cupboards
and bed boxes.

SENSIBLE LOADING

HOW TO APPORTION WEIGHT

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed
recommended maximum loading for your
motorhome.

Roof Racks

Some models of motorhomes have, available as an
option, a roof rack and ladder. Care is needed
when using this facility. We recommend you
exercise extreme caution when loading and
unloading.

CAUTION

Do not allow children to climb onto the
roof. Do not exceed the stated maximum
load. Items fitted other than standard
equipment will deplete the payload stated
in this handbook.

Roof Loading

All motorhomes have a specially designed roof
rack system fitted or available as an optional
extra. The roof of each motorhome is
strengthened to accommodate the roof rack,
however, the strengthened area only relates to
that contained within the roof rack area, and to
step beyond this area may cause damage to the
roof.

Please Note: The roof rack is capable of
withstanding a maximum weight of 12 stone/
76kgs. Static roof loading or top box loading
should be limited to a maximum of 76kgs
including contents, or the limit set by the top box
manufacturer, whichever is the lower figure.

WARNING: Under NO circumstances walk
on the over cab roof section

Before venturing out on to the road with your
motorhome, it is important that you prepare
correctly.

Roof loads should be evenly distributed and
securely fastened, but care must be taken not to
overtighten straps or ropes to the point where
roof rails or brackets may become distorted,
particularly as during braking and cornering,
forces exerted by straps or ropes are greatly
increased.

It is also worth noting that when carrying heavy
or large objects on the roof, the vehicles handling
may change due to the resultant displacement of
the centre of gravity and the increased area
exposed to the wind.

3-1

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

BEFORE MOVING OFF

Whenever making a journey with your
motorhome, either setting off on holiday or
returning home, it is good practice to run
through this simple checklist.

(i) Close and secure all cupboards and

drawers and check for any loose articles.

(ii) Do not store tins, bottles, etc. in overhead

lockers.

(iii) Close and secure all windows and roof

lights.

(iv) Leave all curtains and blinds open to aid

visibility.

(v) Check that gas cylinders are securely

fastened and that the valve on the gas
cylinder is turned off. Also ensure that the
gas locker door is securely fastened.

(vii) Switch off 240volt supply at source;

disconnect mains cable and store in an
appropriate place.

(viii) Check that the battery is secure and that

the battery box lid is fastened.

(ix) Ensure the fridge is on 12V operation and

door lock is set. (Note: the electrical
relays will allow the fridge to be run on
the vehicle battery when the engine is
running.)

(x) Remove any external fresh water

connections etc.

(xi) Make sure any heavy articles are stored in

accordance with the loading procedure.
Tables should also be made secure.

(xii) Lock the motorhome exterior door

(remember to take out your keys).

(xiii) Check your external rear view mirrors

and adjust if necessary.

(xiv) If a step is used, ensure it is put away

before moving off.

(xv) Your new Explorer Group motorhome

has been designed to carry passengers in
designated passenger seats only. The fitting
of a 3-point seat belt can identify these
seats. Any seat not fitted with a 3point
seat belt is not designated as a passenger
seat.

(xvi) You are strongly recommended not to

carry passengers unless they are seated in
a designated passenger seat.

For Safety

(i) Ensure all the tables have been stored in

their designated table storage position.

Pulling Off

• Engage the clutch smoothly.

•Avoid wear and tear on clutch and
transmission by taking extra care.

• Change gears smoothly.

•Try not to jerk the clutch.

3-2

MOTORWAY HANDLING

MOTORWAY HANDLING

Best Practice

To gain the most enjoyment and ensure a long life
for your motorhome, the following should be
observed:

• Do not bump kerbs with wheels.

• When passing other vehicles allow more
than the normal clearance.

• Allow longer to get up speed to pass. Do not
suddenly swing out.

• Carry out all manoeuvers as smoothly as
possible.

• Use the nearside wing mirror to check your
motorhome has cleared when overtaking.

• Slow down and take care when driving over
raised speed bumps, ‘sleeping policemen’ or
when embarking/ disembarking ferries.

• In high or cross winds, travelling downhill or
in conditions of poor visibility reduce your
speed.

• High-sided vehicles can cause air buffeting so
extra care must be taken when passing or
being passed. Leave as much space as possible
when overtaking these types of vehicles

Speed Limits

Be sure to observe all statutory speed limits and
adapt your speed to take account of prevailing
weather and road conditions.

WARNING

Ensure the wheel is of the same
construction and size as the one that has
been removed.

Bicycle Racks

Fitting a bicycle rack to the rear panel of a
motorhome will affect how weight is distributed.
There are restraints to be aware of with such
fitments.

We would advise you to carry a maximum of
75kgs on the bicycle rack provided this does not
exceed the bicycle racks own weight limit.

The motorhome must also be balanced to take
into account the new weight distribution. Weight
must be distributed evenly.

Bicycle racks are not standard fit or supplied as
an optional extra by The Explorer Group.
Explorer cannot be held responsible for problems
related to a bicycle rack fitted by a third party. A
copy of the rear panel drawing must be obtained
from The Explorer Group to ensure correct
fixing points are located.

ARRIVING ON SITE

ARRIVING ON SITE

CHECK SITE REGULATIONS

On arrival at a campsite, you should always check
the site regulations. This will help avoid any
unnecessary conflict with site management and
other site users.

SELECTING A PITCH

Carefully select where you wish to place your
motorhome. The site should be as level as
possible, preferably not under or near trees, well
drained and away from possible boggy areas.
Consider how you will move the motorhome
when it is time to leave the site. On sloping
ground it is better to pitch facing downhill,
especially during wet weather.

LATERAL LEVELLING (SIDE TO SIDE)

A quick glance at your pitch should tell you if you
are likely to need side to side leveling i.e. levelling
across the axle. On uneven ground lateral
levelling is accomplished by the use of a leveler
jack or ramp and a spirit level placed ‘across’ the
motorhome floor.

LEVELLER JACK

RAMP

Reverse onto your pitch about a foot further
back than you wish to end up. Then place the
levelling ramp in front of the wheel that needs to
be raised.

Place a spirit level parallel to the axle or just
inside the motorhome door. It helps to have two
people at this point. One should drive the
motorhome very slowly forward moving the
wheel up the ramp, and the other should indicate
when the spirit level bubble is in the middle.

Whichever method you use, once level, apply the
motorhome handbrake and chock the
motorhome wheel if necessary.

Place the leveller jack, folded flat, in front of the
wheel that is to be raised to level the axle. Drive
the motorhome onto the leveler jack and adjust
the height until the spirit level shows that the
motorhome is laterally level.

GETTING STARTED

GETTING STARTED

You have arrived at your destination and now
want to start to enjoy your new Explorer Group
motorhome. The following is a step by step guide
to connecting your services and getting
everything in your motorhome working.

ELECTRICITY

Pow er Supply Charger

Your motorhome is fitted with a power supply/
charger. This will charge the motorhome leisure
battery when fitted and also power the 12V
systems in your motorhome.

It is recommended that you always carry a leisure
battery.

The Charger is fully automatic and will not
overcharge the leisure battery.

12v Systems:

Your motorhome is fitted with an automatic
system for selection of power.

When connected to the 230V site supply the
automatic Power Supply/Charger will charge the
leisure battery and the 12V systems.

When the ignition is switched on the 12V system
in the motorhome is automatically switched off,
car power is supplied to the refrigerator and
battery charging is in operation.

GENERATOR/CHARGER

When connecting to a generator, always switch
off the RCD, start the generator and allow
running for a few minutes to stabilize. When this
has happened, switch the RCD to the ON
position.

ELECTRICITY MAINS SUPPLY

Your motorhome’s main electrical installation is
designed to run on 230V at 50 hertz AC supply.

CONNECTING TO MAINS SUPPLY ON
ARRIVAL AT SITE

Before connecting the motorhome installation to
the mains supply, check that:

(i) The mains supply is suitable for your

installation and appliances, i.e. whether it is
AC or DC and whether it is at the correct
voltage and frequency.

(ii) Your motorhome is properly earthed. Never

accept a supply from a socket outlet or plug
having only two pins, or from a lighting
outlet.

(iii) Any residual current device (earth leakage

circuit breaker) in the mains supply to the
motorhome has been tested within the last
month. In case of doubt, consult the site
owner or their agent.

(iv) Make sure that the switch at the site supply

point is off and that all electrical equipment
in the motorhome is switched off by
ensuring your motorhome mains isolating
switch on the MCB is in the ‘OFF’ position.

Once the above checks have been made:

(v) Remove any cover to the electricity inlet

provided on the motorhome, and insert the
female connector of the flexible orange
supply cable as shown.

(vi) Locate the site supply and remove any cover

from the socket outlet provided at the
supply point. Insert the male plug at the
other end of the flexible orange supply
cable. Switch on the main switch at the site
supply point (if appropriate).

(vii) Place any surplus cable under the

motorhome. Ensure that the surplus cable is
not coiled up as it could overheat.

(viii) The MCB main electricity supply switch

should be put in the ‘ON’ position.

(ix) Check the RCD is working by pressing the

WIRING OF CONNECTING CABLE AND MOTORHOME MAINS INLET

WARNING: It is essential that connections are made exactly as shown. If terminal
markings are not in accordance with the above diagram they must be ignored.

(x) Finally in order to get your 12V system

operational, ensure the master 12V switch is
in the ‘ON’ position.

DISCONNECTING MAINS SUPPLY
WHEN LEAVING SITE

(i) Switch ‘OFF’ at the motorway mains

isolating switch.
(ii) Remove the male plug from the site supply.
(iii) Disconnect the female plug from the

motorhome and store the cable in an

appropriate locker.

OVERSEAS ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Please Note: Connection to a mains voltage

supply OVERSEAS requires particular attention.

Care must be taken when connecting supplies
abroad since the supplies can be of REVERSE
POLARITY.

The significance of REVERSE POLARITY is that
when equipment is switched off, it may not be
electrically isolated. The only certain way of
making equipment safe is to unplug it.

A means of checking the polarity of the mains
supply when overseas is recommended. There are
available several proprietary makes of equipment
for the purpose.

If it can be achieved, it is preferable to connect
live to live, and neutral to neutral to maintain full
electrical protection.

CHECK all motorhome equipment is set-up to
accept the site supply before actually switching
on.

GETTING STARTED

GAS SUPPLY

Your motorhome is designed to operate using
either propane or butane liquefied petroleum gas
at 30M/bar. Gas can be obtained from your
motorhome dealer. Your motorhome is designed
to accept a maximum 2 x 6kg Calor Lite propane
cylinders available from motorhome dealers and
Calor gas retailers. For further information please
visit www.calorlite.co.uk.

Connection

Make sure that heating and cooking appliances
and gas cylinders are switched off.

Each gas appliance is connected to its own gas
isolation tap under the cooker. These are
identified on the tap via a label. Below is a key to
identify each label.

To operate the tap the arrow on the tap shows
the direction of flow for the gas. The arrow
should be pointing towards the appliance for the
appliance to operate. There will be a small label
next to the bank of taps under the cooker, which
is also reproduced below:

Gas Regulator

Your 2010 Motorhome is fitted with a Road
safe gas regulator.

The operating instructions are given below.

Intended use

The Truma SecuMotion gas-pressure regulator is
a device that ensures uniform gas pressure (30
mbar) with a permissible inlet pressure range of

0.3 - 16 bar.

SecuMotion regulates and monitors the
consumption of liquid gas. If the specified
consumption is exceeded or if the pressure at
the regulator outlet falls below 27 mbar (due to
gas pipe break, for example), the integrated gas
flow monitor will shut off the flow of gas. A high
pressure hose with a hose-break safety device is
essential for connecting the SecuMotion gas
pressure regulator to the gas cylinder.

Truma offers hoses with common connection
fittings to enable use of gas cylinders with various
valve connection sizes.

Your Motorhome has been supplied with a
hose for connection to a propane gas
bottle.

The integrated overpressure safety device
complies with the requirements for a commercial
safety device against impermissible pressure
increases throughout Europe, a type tested
liquefied-gas heating system may be used while
driving (according to the EU directive 2001/56/
EC) if the system includes a regulator with an
appropriately configured gas installation.

Pressure regulating devices and hoses must be
replaced with new ones no more than 10 years
after their date of manufacture (every 8 years if
used commercially). This is the responsibility of
the operator.

ROAD SAFE GAS REGULATOR

Operating instructions

The use of upright gas cylinders from which gas is
taken in the gas phase is mandatory for the
operation of gas regulators, gas equipment and
gas systems. Gas cylinders from which gas is
taken in the liquid phase (e.g. for fork lifts) must
not be used, since they would result in damage to
the gas system.

Taking into operation
Open gas remote switch if present.

1. Open the cylinder’s valve.

2. Firmly press the green reset button on the
high pressure hose.

3. Press gas flow monitor reset button (green
button) on gas pressure regulator slowly.

4. Release gas flow monitor reset button (green
button) on gas pressure regulator slowly (3
seconds). If no pressure point is felt when the
button is pressed again, the regulator is ready for
operation (repeat procedure if necessary). Start
the gas-burning devices if desired. If the gas
cylinders are closed, SecuMotion may switch off
after an extended period of no usage.

Changing a gas cylinder

Please use the included screwing tool to attach
and remove the high pressure hoses. It will help
you generate the necessary tightening torque and
will prevent damage to the screw fittings, which
may otherwise result from using an improper
tool.

High Pressure Gas Hoses

You should only connect to this regulator using a
length of approved high-pressure hose not
exceeding 450mm from the gas cylinder to the
regulator. These approved high-pressure hoses
are available from your Elddis Retailer. These
hoses are connected using screw thread fittings,
which will make a seal if connected and tightened
using a spanner. Once the hose is securely
connected turn on the gas tap above the
regulator, then turn on the gas bottle to allow gas
to flow into the caravan.

In order to make all your caravan gas appliances
operational it is necessary to open each appliance
gas tap as detailed in previous column. All your
gas appliances should now be operational.
Instructions on how to use each appliance are
detailed later in your handbook.

WARNING: Aerosols and highly flammable
liquids must not be stored in the
compartment behind, or adjacent to, any
gas appliance. Some industrial LPG
appliances operate at high pressure and
require a ‘high pressure’ regulator. This
often has an adjusting handle on it. NEVER
use such a regulator on a caravan.

Ventilation holes must be clear at all times.

WATER SYSTEM

Filling your fresh water tank

Your new Elddis motorhome is fitted with a
Whale Autofill water system. In order to fill up
and automatically top up your water tank from
either a fixed water supply or a water container
please follow the instruction given on the next
page.

Please take care not to over fill your tank it is
advised that someone monitors the water level in
the tank while filling is in progress.

Waste Water Tank

Your new Explorer Group motorhome is also
fitted with a 601itre waste water tank. All waste
water excluding the toilet waste will run into the
waste water tank. The level of water in the tank
can be monitored using the control panel.
Opening the grey waste outlet provided on the
outside of the motorhome empties the tank.
Open the tap when the outlet is over a drain and
the water will run out of the tank.

Draining Down Your Water System

(i) It is essential that you drain down your

motorhome water system when it is not in
use. This is most important during winter
months to protect against frost damage

(ii) Disconnect the water pump and switch off

power supply.

(iii) Remove the water heater fuse from the

switch spur and store in a safe place.

(iv) Open the safety drain valve on the water

heater located next to the water heater.

(v) Open all taps and remove all plugs from

sinks and showers. Lever operated taps
should have the lever put into the up and
central position.

(vi) Open both the blue and grey drain outlets

on the outside of your motorhome.

(vii) Adjust the level of the motorhome to

ensure that the drain outlet is at the lowest
point of the motorhome. This will aid the
flow of water to ensure all water is drained
off.

After 30 minutes level the motorhome and
prepare it for storage if necessary.

GAS SAFETY ADVICE

GAS SAFETY ADVICE

In the event of a suspected gas leak the gas must
be turned off using the isolation valve on the gas
bottle. A competent gas fitter should then check
the system before it is used/reused.

Regularly check flexible gas hose, joints and
connections for tightness. Finally, make sure that
each gas appliance is working efficiently to the
recommendations of the appliance
manufacturers.

See Index - Ventilation

FACTS ABOUT LPG

• LPG is not poisonous.

• Bi-products are harmless.

• LPG is dangerous if all air and oxygen is
excluded.

• LPG has been given a smell by the
manufacturers in order to identify leaks.

• The gas is heavier than air and therefore
sinks to the lowest point.

AWNING SPACES, LPG AND
APPLIANCE EXHAUST

There is no danger of pollution of an enclosed
awning space from the LPG exhaust from a
refrigerator venting into it. Space heaters may
produce sufficient exhaust to pollute the awning
space, if it is totally enclosed, from a general
comfort, smell and hygiene point of view. In
extreme cases there could be a build up of
carbon dioxide to a dangerous level. Motorhome
owners are advised to allow some fresh air
circulation in the awning space when such
appliances are in use.

Please Note: Ventilation holes must be clear at
all times.

LPG GAS SYSTEM

The Explorer Group does not recommend the
use of any external cylinders. All cylinders in use
should be within the gas locker provided. If you
wish to utilise a larger cylinder and have this
outside the gas locker then the connecting hose
must not exceed 750mm.

It is recommended that no flammable material is
stored or placed within 300mm of any open
flame. Your attention is also drawn to the fact that
the surface of the Space Heater in your
motorhome will get hot when in use. You are
advised not to use any additional gas appliances
outside your motorhome unless it is a Gas
Barbecue connected via the Barbecue point
supplied with your motorhome.

Please ensure that you have read the operating
instructions for each gas appliance contained in
your Owners Information Pack. Please ensure
that any gas hose left unconnected is protected
from dirt or other foreign bodies entering the
hose.

12v POWER SUPPLY

Battery Installation

Your motorhome will be fitted with a BCA
Leisure charging and power distribution unit.

If you wish to install a leisure battery please
ensure that it is placed on the battery tray
supplied with your motorhome. Then place the
tray in the battery locker fitted to the side of
your motorhome. Connect the battery to the
clamp fittings connected to the connection leads
within the battery box.

The Explorer Group recommends that you use
sealed for life leisure batteries of a minimum
rating off 40 ampere-hours at 20 hours discharge
rate.

Battery Maintenance

Your leisure battery should be maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
For information on the automatic charging
system in your motorhome please refer to
‘Automatic Charging System’ in the index.

Do not charge your leisure battery with any
charger other than that supplied. Failure to
comply may cause damage to your battery. If you
remove your leisure batter y, ensure that it is not
placed on a cold surface as the battery will
deteriorate more rapidly than if stored at a
suitable temperature

Generators / Charger

All electrical equipment fitted in your new
motorhome can be run from either a controlled
generator or charger whose output is maintained
between 11volts and 14volts.

At least once every 3 years, the motorhome
electrical installation should be inspected and
tested, and a report on its condition obtained, as
prescribed in British Standard BS7671.

230v POWER SUPPLY

Mains Unit

The Mains Unit replaces the conventional fuse
box. Similar, but larger ones are often fitted in
new houses. The unit, normally located in the
wardrobe, gives overloads and earth leakage
protection for the 230V electrical supply in your
motorhome.

For normal operation all switches on the unit
need to be in the ON position. The switches on
the left of the unit are known as MCB’s
(miniature circuit breakers). These take the place
of the conventional fuse but are more convenient.
In the event of a fault the MCB ‘trips’ i.e.
automatically moves to the OFF position. After
elimination of the fault the MCB can be re-set by
switching to the ON position (against the spring
pressure in an upwards direction). If an earth fault
develops, or a person was to touch a live piece of
equipment, the leakage of current to earth should
immediately operate the RCD (residual current
device) and ‘trip’ the main switch, to the OFF
position. This switch can only be re-set after
elimination of the fault.

Please Note: In case of difficulty, consult an
approved electrical installation contractor (who
may be the local electricity board). It is dangerous
to attempt modifications and additions yourself.

Caution: Lamp holder-plugs (bayonet- cap
adaptors) should not be used under any
circumstances.

Resetting the RCD

To r e-set, operate the switch as for MCB’s.
Periodically, the RCD should be checked by
operating the test button marked ‘T’. The unit
should immediately switch to the OFF position. If
the unit does not switch off then a qualified
electrician should be consulted. If the unit does
switch off, the test is complete and the switch can
be re-set restoring the supply back to normal.

Please Note: Simultaneous operation of all of
the 230V mains electrical equipment may not be
possible. A typical UK site mains hook-up point
provides a maximum output of 16 amps and on
some continental sites the available output may
be as low as 5 amps. If your loading exceeds the
site supply it may trip the site circuit breaker.
Please check the available mains output with your
site operator. The following items need to be
added together if used simultaneously.

230V mains equipment typical consumption
figures:

• Refrigerator ............................................ 0.50 amps

• Charger .................................................... 0.50 amps

• Water heater ............................................ 3.9 amps

• Blown air heaters .................................... 8.5 amps

• Colour TV ............................................... 2.50 amps
