THE HITCH - Once on the ball the inner lock handle will drop, the circle will pop up and turn green, telling you she is on. Push the main handle down and you are locked on.
CHAINS, ELECTRIC AND SAFETY CHAINS - Please ensure they are attached, test your lights each time you unplug.
THE HANDBRAKE - Like a car push the button in and push forward.
Now drive safely and go wide in turns especially left.
Once in place, if you are detaching from the tow car, HANDBREAK ON, once the jocky wheel is on or down, detach all of the chains and wires and wind up and releasing the ball handles and as you wind the van will unlock from the tow ball.
Wind the jocky wheel down to level, in the front boot, is a long bar to wind the legs down (or a drill) in the front there are two holes either side of the van (approx. a 20c piece size) through there you can connect and wind the levelling legs down. In the rear of the van, there are two more legs.
In the front bay you will find an orange power lead.
On the non door side to the front is the connection point, plug into the van and then the onsite outlet. If you hear a beep from inside (microwave) you are connected.
If not, in the bedroom space, under the TV is the switch board, make sure all of the safety switches are on.
Just in side the front door is the awning pole. Towards the front of the van is a winding point, insert the pole and wind away. The awning legs are built into the front of the awning. Spring loaded, they drop down and at the right height the can be locked.
Note: The door side needs to be a little higher than the other to open.
MUST: If the awning is out, it must be tied down, In the front bay is a brown bag with pegs, ropes and a hammer.
The van has a 15 Litre hot water tank
To turn it on. The digital screen will light up near the door. Select your water temp (60 degree's) and your method of heating (GAS or Elect 1) in approx 30 mins you will have hot water.
The fridge is 3 way, you need to tell it what you are using but selecting on the front panel Electric or GAS.
Being a trickle cool it can take a hour or two to cool down to temp.
The van has a one option to cool. Full reverse cycle air con, piped through the van. Near the TV is a remote and black box. Fire the remote at the box and select your temp, speed etc and it will kick in for you.
Heating you have two options - Reverse cycle heating. Great for a quick heat up; but through the night for a quieter option. the hot water system can pipe hot air through the van. On the hot water screen select the picture of the motor home, and choose a temp, select the fan and select the speed and you will be cosy in no time.
When in use, once you have had a moment, on the front of the bowl is a slider, slide to left and the bowl will empty into the tank. Once the tank is full, the light on top will come on telling you it is getting close.

Go for a walk to the dump point, unscrew the lid, and once over the dump hole, press the orange button and bombs away. Hose the tank out and it can go back in. In the bathroom cupboard is the blue loo. 3 caps is heaps.

Vans are tempremantal beasts.
