Check points:

• Close and securely lock all locks

on trailer and kitchen

• Check the proper function of all

road lights before you start your

trip.

• It is important to tighten wheel nuts

after driving the first 200 Km.

• If your COMBI-CAMP is equipped

with brakes, they must be adjusted

after driving the first 200 Km.

• Check your tyre pressure. Loads up

to 500 kg 20 PSI - 1.5 BAR. Loads

up to 750 kg 30 PSI - 2.1 BAR.

• Check that your hitch is correctly

attached to the car.

• Check that the jockey wheel is

tightened and in it upper position.

• Check your trailer speed limits

especially in foreign

countries and fit

your national identi-

fication plate. In the

UK it is maximum

60 Mph. (never

overtake in the third

lane on motorways

only use nearside

and middle lane)

Packing the COMBI-CAMP:

• Inside the closed trailer there is

room for approx. 34 cubic feet

(1 cubic metre) worth of luggage

space. Furthermore, there is luggage

space on the roof rack and in the

cargo carrier fitted under the

bedroom floor. Please note that

packing must be carried out in a

way that ensures the balance of the

trailer.

• Heavy items should be placed

on the axle line even if only the

roof rack is used. Be aware of the

added weight if a kitchen is later

fitted and adjust the balance

accordingly. The weight at

the hitch should be between 44-

110 pounds (20 to 50 Kg.).

• Do not place luggage too close

to the outer walls of the trailer -

there must be 8 inches of space

left to accommodate the tent and

frames. This will ensure proper

closure of the trailer lid.

• The approved gross weight of all

COMBI-CAMP trailer are written

on the factory ID-sign. Payload

will differ from type to type and

the amount of equipment fitted.

PLEASE NOTE!

Unzip the tent

door and close the

vent flap when

folding down the

trailer tent.

• NEVER OVERLOAD

THE TRAILER!!!

• Drive Tarpaulin to cover the roof

rack is available as an optional

extra for all COMBI-CAMP models.

Packing of the Cargo box:

The cargo box is used for the heavy objects such as the awning and frames.

The cargo box is excellent for items that are not in every day use or as a safe when you are sleeping.

H i t c h i n g t h e C O M B I - C A M P

Trailers with brakes: Trailers without brakes:

• The handle is, in the upper

position i.e. open, then the hitch is

lowered by using the jockey wheel

on to the vehicles tow bar.

• The handle is in the upper position

and kept here whilst the hitch is

lowered by using the jockey wheel

on to the vehicle’s tow bar.

• When the hitch is in the correct

position, the green indicator on the

front of the

hitch will be

visible and the

handle will

automatically

move to the normal position.

• Remember to attach the safety

cable, which activates the brakes

in case the trailer becomes detac

hed from the tow bar.

• When the hitch is lowered the

handle will go into normal position.

• To unhitch the trailer, lift the

handle and turn the jockey wheel

handle to dismount the COMBI-CAMP.

M a i n t e n a n c e

Be good to your COMBI-CAMP, this will serve both you and your

COMBI-CAMP best.A reasonable maintenance will ensure you a reliable trailer tent for many years to come.

The tent

• The COMBI-

CAMP can be very

easily opened and closed

even in rainy weather. If you

had to pack in misty weather it

is advisable to open the trailer

as soon as possible to give it

fresh air and to dry the tent

canvas and the mattresses,

otherwise you may face mould

and consequently rot.

However, should signs of such

occur the only treatment is to

dry the attacked spot

thoroughly and then brush it

down, clean and re-impregnate

the canvas.

• It is therefore important that

your COMBI-CAMP is not left

wet for longer periods than,

two days when closed.

• Use of chemical cleaners is

not advisable.

• Please note that mattress

covers should be dry-cleaned.

• Normal dirt can be washed

with water adding a little vine

gar and a soft bush. More resi

stant dirt can often be moved

with the use of a vacuum clea-

ner.

The superstructure

Normal road dirt can be removed by washing the trailer body with soapy water and a soft brush. More resistant dirt can often be moved with a normal polish, but must not contain cutting compound.

Wheel / Axle / Hinges

At least twice a year - at

the beginning and at the end

of the season you should:

• Check the wheel bearing for

wear. These is done by grasping

the wheel like you would a

steering wheel and then try to

rock the wheel side to side. If

tightening is necessary you will

immediately feel it.

• If indeed tightening is necessary

you will need to remove the

wheel hub-cap and split pin, then

turn the axle nut inwards to

tighten the bearing until axle is

slightly braked.

Loosen again until the next split

pin hole - check bearing wear -

split pin is then refitted.

• The wheel hub is greased so that

up to 1/2 to 2/3 of the hub is

filled with grease.

• Check that the axle and tow bar

are thoroughly bolted to their

consoles.

• Grease all hinges and hand

wheels.

Also the big central hinge bet

ween the top and bottom of the

trailer.

M a i n t e n a n c e

Chassis / Roof rack

Both the chassis and the roof rack have an effective rust proofing.

The roof rack has been fitted with plastic protectors to minimise damage to the roof rack when opened against the ground.

We recommend that the bottom of the trailer is sealed with rust proofing material.

Before the first trip:

When you open your COMBI-CAMP for the first time,we strongly recommend that the tent canvas is sprayed with water. Even the finest impregnated cotton canvas is not

100% effective before the first rain shower.

Whilst the tent is sprayed and later drying, it is important that the windows and doors remain closed as to secure a uniform shrinking of the tent canvas.

All our cotton tent canvases are designed “ shrink to fit”.

Do not fold down the tent before it is absolutely dry.

The tent canvas is made from a natural cotton product. Should you experience a slight leak around the stitching of the canvas this can be cured by impregnating the seams with seal seam.

• See that the trailer and tent are

completely dry before storage.

• You are well advised to remove

mattresses as well as the inner

tent and store in a totally dry

spot during the winter.

• If storage space is limited the

COMBI-CAMP can be stored on

it’s side by means of the optional

side storage legs. Such legs are

available from your local COMBI-

CAMP dealer.

Puncture/ Spare wheel

• Should you experience a punc

ture with your COMBI-CAMP, both

the front jack leg or jockey wheel

if fitted as well as the rear sup

port legs can be used as jacks.

We advise you to purchase a spare

wheel before you go camping

or travelling.
