system.
(xii) Do not leave children under 14 years
of age unattended in your motorhome.
(xiii) Only those seats designated for
travelling should be occupied when the
motorhome is in motion.
(xiv) Please note that motorhomes are
covered by the 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.
(xv) Ensure you remove all items from the
microwave before travelling.
(xvi) It is essential that you have securely
closed and locked the habitation door
before setting off on any journey.
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.
2-1
GENERAL SAFETY
VENTILATION
All motorhomes manufactured by Elddis 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. 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
All Elddis Motorhomes have fixed low level
ventilation provided. These ventilators are
covered with plastic covers designed to
prevent them from being obstructed by items
placed within the bed box. These covers can
be removed by undoing the two screws in
order to facilitate cleaning the ventilators,
however these covers must be replaced once
cleaning is completed.
It is essential for your safety that these
ventilators are not blocked at any time.
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 within the same compartment.
It is essential that these are not blocked or
made ineffective.
FIRE SAFETY
Fire Extinguishers
It is recommended that a 1 kg (2lb) minimum
capacity dry powder fire extinguisher be
carried inside your motorhome at all times. A
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
All motorhomes are equipped with
Polyurethane (PU) foam which are
combustion modified foam cushions, foam
mattresses and fire retardent fabric. All
furnishings and fabrics used by Elddis
comply with the Furniture and Furnishings
(Fire Safety) Regulations. In addition all
upholstery is made of fire retardant fabric.
Habitation Door
Note: Please ensure you only remove the
key from the door with the key in the vertical
position (12 o’clock).
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, the mass of the fuel when the tank is
full and an allowance of 10kgs per gas bottle,
the number of gas bottles equal to the
number of connections provided at the
regulator.
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
Note: Light items are considered as clothing
and bedding. It is not recommended to travel
with tinned items in overhead lockers.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed maximum
technical permissible laden mass for your
motorhome.
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 secure 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 locked.
(vi) Turn off all gas appliances.
(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 sealed and
secure.
(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.
(xii) Lock the motorhome habitation 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.
3-1
PREPARING FOR THE ROAD
(xv) Your new Elddis 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.
(xvii) Ensure all tables have been stored in
their designated table storage position.
(xviii) Ensure you remove all items from the
microwave (if fitted) before towing.
(xix) Check all the road lights are
operational.
Pulling Off
• Pull away smoothly.
• Avoid wear and tear on clutch and
transmission by taking extra care.
• Change gears smoothly.
• Try not to jerk the clutch.
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.
The maximum loading allowed on the back
panel is 60 kgs including the weight of the
bike rack and bicycles.
The motorhome must also be balanced to
take into account the new weight distribution.
Weight must be distributed evenly.
Elddis 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 by the retailer or service
centre from Elddis to ensure correct fixing
points are located.
Tow Bars
Your new Elddis motorhome has been
designed to accept a Witter tow bar. This has
been approved via type approval to ensure it
is safe to use and is the only tow bar
approved for fitting to Elddis motorhomes.
The maximum load allowed on the tow ball is
100kgs and the maximum overhang is
specified by the tow bar when fitted. The
fitting points for the tow bar are designated
by the fixing hole in the Witter extensions
fitted to the Peugeot chassis and full details
are available upon request from Elddis.
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 overtaking ensure sufficient
clearance is given to other vehicles.
• Your motorhome will not accelerate as
quicly as a car, so take this into account
when attempting to overtake other
vehicles.
• Carry out all manoeuvers as smoothly as
possible.
• Use the wing mirror to check your
motorhome has cleared has cleared the
other vehicle.
• 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.
Towing Your Motorhome
In the unlikely event that you have to tow
your motorhome, the towing point is fitted
within the front bumper, behind the
removable flap provided by Peugeot. The
towing hook can be found in the tool box
supplied by Peugeot, found under the front
passenger seat.

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 Elddis
motorhome. The following is a step by step
guide to connecting your services and getting
everything in your motorhome working.
ELECTRICITY
Power Supply Charger
Your motorhome is fitted with a power supply/
charger. This will charge the leisure battery
“where supplied” when fitted and also power
the 12V systems in addition to your leisure
battery.
A leisure battery must be fitted to the
motorhome at all times.
The Charger is fully automatic and will not
overcharge the leisure battery.
12v Systems:
When connected to the 230V site supply the
automatic Power Supply/Charger will charge
the leisure battery and power the 12V
systems.
When the ignition is switched on the 12V
system in the motorhome is automatically
switched off, vehicle power is supplied to the
refrigerator.
GENERATOR/CHARGER
When connecting to a generator, always
switch off the RCD, start the generator and
allow running for a few minutes to stabilise.
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 test button. Once pressed all
electrical lights and appliances should
cease to operate. Reset and then check
the electrical system is operational.
6-1

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.

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 gas
bottles.
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 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

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.
When the cylinder is connected please
ensure that the high pressure hose is not
placed under any strain.
Residual gas: No smoking! No open
flames!
- Close the empty gas cylinder’s valve.

GETTING STARTED
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 motorhome.
In order to make all your motorhome 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
motorhome.
Ventilation holes must be clear at all
times.
WATER SYSTEM
Filling your fresh water tank
Your motorhome is fitted with a standard
water inlet which can be filled using a hose
pipe connected to a tap placed into the water
filler point.
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 motorhome is also fitted with a 100
Litre 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) Open the safety drain valve on the water
heater located next to the water heater.
(iv) 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.
(v) Open both the blue and grey drain
outlets on the outside of your
motorhome.
(vi) Adjust the level of the motorhome to
ensure that the drain outlet is at the
lowest point of the motorhome.
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 of incomplete combustion
are harmful to health.
• 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
Using a refrigerator on gas which vents into
an enclosed awning space must only be
done if there is sufficient ventilation to
prevent the build up of CO2.
Space and Water heaters may produce
sufficient amounts of CO2 to pollute the
awning space, if it is totally enclosed and
therefore MUST NOT BE used on gas when
an awning is attached.
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
Elddis 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. You are advised not to use
any additional gas appliances outside 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.
WARNINGS
• Fresh air circulation should be
allowed below the motorhome when
appliances are in use and when flues
terminate below the floor to allow free
evacuation of the products of
combustion. At least three sides of
the underfloor space should always
be kept open and unobstructed
especially by snow. Do not make any
additional openings in the floor.
• No appliance shall be used outside
when connected to an internal outlet.
• Maintain adequate spacing of
combustible materials from sources
of heat.
• Do not use additional independent
gas appliances inside the
motorhome.

12v POWER SUPPLY
Battery Installation
Your motorhome will be fitted with a charging
and power distribution unit.
When installing the leisure battery please
ensure that it is placed on the battery tray
supplied with your motorhome. Then place
the tray in the battery locker of your
motorhome. Connect the battery to the clamp
fittings connected to the connection leads
within the battery compartment.
We recommend that you refer to the NCC
approved battery scheme, which can be
found at www.thencc.org.uk.
Battery Maintenance
Storage
Ensure that the leisure battery is fully
charged before placing the vehicle into
storage.
Check the battery state every month, if the
terminal voltage drops below 12.07V then recharging is necessary.
Charging should be carried out in a cool, dry
well ventilated area.
CAUTION: Your Thatcham alarm system is
powered by the leisure battery. Therefore it is
recommended that a battery is installed at all
times. Failure to do so could void your
insurance policy.
Do not place the battery onto cold surfaces
such as concrete as this will affect the
battery’s ability to charge.
Points to remember
• Prolonged discharge causes harmful
sulfation and may damage a battery.
• For peak performance never let a battery
sit discharged for long periods of time.
• Over discharged batteries are
permanently damaged and need to be
replaced.
Note: Do not over discharge the battery. One
of the most common causes of battery failure
is when the battery is discharged below the
recommended level of approximately 12.2v -
ref table. Discharging a battery below this
figure will cause permanent damage.
Overheating and gassing will occur when reconnected to the mains supply.

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 provides
overload 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
8-1
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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 re-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 hookup 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
• Combi heaters ............................. 13 amps
• Colour TV .................................. 3.33 amps
AUTOMATIC CHARGING SYSTEM
The battery charger will operate automatically
when the motorhome is connected to the
mains outlet on a motorhome site.
Note: The charging unit will charge both
vehicle and leisure battery.
When the motorhome engine is running the
12V system will not operate with the
exception of the 12V refrigerator.
Note: When the vehicle is in transit the
engines alternator will charge both the
vehicle and leisure batteries
CHECK all motorhome equipment is set-up
to accept the site supply before actually
switching on.
