MAINTENANCE
Your Caravan Camper requires a Service at least every 12 months or 10,000kms whichever occurs first. More frequent servicing may be required if your camper has been through water crossings or traveling in extremely dusty conditions.
You are required to tighten the nuts and bolts under your camper or caravan before each long Journey. If you have been using your Camper/Caravan in extreme off-road conditions, you are required to check the nuts and bolts under your camper or caravan after each use.
The dust pressure fan filter is requires removing and cleaning after each dirt road journey. It this is not cleaned, a malfunction of the fan motor could occur.
If you have packed up a wet camper, ensure you open the awnings, beds and other canvas within 24 hours to ensure they are completely dry before repacking. Mould can occur if the canvas pieces are packed up wet and are not dried throughly. If it is still raining when you reach home or your next destination within the 24-hour period, it is best practice to set the camper up rather than leave it closed when wet. Eventually the rain will stop and your canvas will dry.
OFF-ROAD POLICY

Gas venting regulations, battery venting regulations and other construction restraints including Air Conditioning air access points need to be considered with these Campers and Caravans with regard to dust and water penetration.
