Before using this product, you should be certain your tow vehicle is suitably rated and equipped to tow the
product safely and legally. The trailer and vehicle pairing must we within the safe “Maximum Towing
Capacity”, “Ball Weight Capacity” and “Gross Combination Mass” as stated by the vehicle manufacturer.

Terminology & Abbreviations

Ball Weight: The downward load exerted on the tow point of the vehicle by the trailer
Tare Weight: The total weight of the unoccupied, unladen trailer ready for use with all included fitments from the
supplier. Empty water tanks.
ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass): The total mass of the laden trailer when carrying the maximum load recommended by
the manufacturer. This includes any mass imposed upon the drawing vehicle when the combination vehicle is resting
on the horizontal supporting plane.
GTM (Gross Trailer Mass): The mass transmitted to the ground by the axle or axles of the trailer when coupled to a
drawing vehicle and carrying its' maximum load approximately uniformly distributed over the load bearing area.
GCM (Gross Combination Mass): This is the total allowable combined mass of tow vehicle and trailer as determined
by the tow vehicle manufacturer
Camber: Camber angle is the measure in degrees of the difference between the wheel’s vertical alignment
perpendicular to the surface. If a wheel is perfectly perpendicular to the surface, its camber would be 0
degrees. Camber is described as negative when the top of the tyre begins to tilt inward towards the chassis rail.
Toe In/out: Negative toe, or toe out, is the front of the wheel pointing away from the centreline of the vehicle.
Positive toe, or toe in, is the front of the wheel pointing towards the centreline of the vehicle. Toe can be measured in
linear units, at the front or rear of the tyre, or as an angular deflection. In the case of MDC products, the “toe in” is
measured in millimetres at the front of the tyre from the chassis rail.

Hitches
Towing with Trucks
If you intend to tow your caravan with a truck or heavy commercial vehicle you should fit a hitch system to minimise
the lash effect of the commercial suspension and distance from the rear axle to the tow point. Truck suspension can
be harsh, particularly in off road conditions. The long distance between the axle centre and the point of attachment can
be quite long further exacerbating the effect putting stress on components.
Using a shock absorbing hitch will reduce the effect considerably.

6
 1300 494 494
Hitch
Your camper is fitted with an ADR compliant Polyblock Off-Road hitch. It is important to maintain and inspect the hitch
regularly as per the maintenance schedule. The hitch should be attached to the vehicle tow bar as pictured with the
spring loaded “T” pin in place and the “R” clip inserted below. Always use the correct size tongue so that the Polyblock
receiver cannot twist or rotate on the tongue.

If you have upgraded to a DO-35 please see below

How to Hitch your coupling

Here is a short guide on how to safely use your coupling to couple and uncouple the
trailer from the towing vehicle.

Make sure the handbrake is applied prior to coupling and uncoupling.

8
 1300 494 494

Make sure the dust cap is securely connected to the bump cover. This is done by locating the rear lip on the dust cap
onto the groove of the bump cover and then pushing it in a downward motion until the dust cover is secure (there
should be a slight click when it has been assembled correctly) Test if the dust cover is connected to the bump cover by
applying a slight upward force to the dust cover, it shouldn’t separate.
This procedure should be applied if you are uncoupling or coupling up.

9
 1300 494 494
Coupling

STEP 1

Push down the button (1) and push the locking mechanism back (2). When the locking mechanism (2) is all
the way back, release the button (1) locking the plate in place

STEP 2

Offer up the tow pin to the coupling making sure the tow pin cover is removed and there is no visible debris on
it. Locking plate should be in unlocked position as shown. Lower the coupling onto the tow pin.

10
 1300 494 494
STEP 3

Make sure the tow pin is seated inside the universal and the tow pin top is sticking out of the locking
mechanism (see below). Press the button (1) to release the locking mechanism there will be an audible
locking noise at which point the mechanism will return to the initial position as shown in step 1. Verify the pin is
correctly through the mechanism and assemble the cap. If the cap will not fit check the locking mechanism is
in the correct locked orientation.

Detail view of pin through locking mechanism.

 1300 494 494
Uncoupling

STEP 1

Push down the button 1 and push the locking mechanism back 2. When the locking mechanism is all the way
back release the button while holding the mechanism to ensure it does not spring back to the locked position.

STEP 2

Lift the coupling up off the tow pin.

 1300 494 494
Canvas Care
Seasoning the Canvas
The process of seasoning your canvas before use is an important one but fortunately an easy process. This process is
best done on a warm sunny day with no rain expected.

• Set up your camper and annex with all doors and windows zipped up and closed
• Using your garden hose apply a light spray of water over all the external canvas areas. Wet out the canvas
without allowing water to pool in any section then allow to dry thoroughly.
• Repeat the process of wetting and allowing to try another 2 times.
• On the third wetting check for any leaks in the canvas particularly along the seams. If a seam is weeping water
through, allow the canvas to thoroughly dry then apply a wax stick along the area of the seam. This is done by
lightly rubbing the wax stick over the area. Once applied wet the canvas and check again. NOTE: It is not
unusual for seams that aren’t able to be seam sealed with tape to weep after seasoning. This is not a
reflection of canvas or workmanship but simply a characteristic of canvas tents. If the leak persists, contact
your MDC customer representative.

Protecting Seams and Screens

Seams: When erecting any canvas tent, it is vitally important that you don’t stress the canvas by overtightening when
adjusting the poles. The most common cause of damage to canvas is over tensioning. Adjusting the tent should give
the canvas good shape but the material should be relaxed. If you can see the stitching exposed in a seam, then the
canvas is under strain and the pole should be backed off.
Screens: Fly mesh screens are vulnerable to damage by poles rubbing against it. When packing up your camper it is
important to close windows with both inner and outer canvas zipped up thus protecting the mesh. Never leave door
screens rolled up when packing your camper as this can cause harsh creases and damage the screen. Mesh damage
by owner misuse is not a warranty issue.

Zipper Care
Few parts of your camper work as hard as zippers particularly if you have young children. To get the maximum service
life from zippers there are precautions and maintenance you can do.
Never force a zipper. If it jams or becomes difficult back it up and start again ensuring the two rows are feeding evenly
into the slide without one row having much greater weight of canvas than the other. Avoid having doors half zipped
when the tent is in use. Leaving the slide in a poor position while the door canvas flaps around or people access the
door pushing the canvas out of the way can loosen and damage the teeth. Always fully open or close the entry doors
on your tent.
Dry lubricant spray is a great way to make zipping up your tent easier. Apply a light coating of dry lubricant along the
length of the zipper as needed.

Protecting from Mould

Mould is very difficult to clean once a tent is affected.
There are several ways you can prevent the
occurrence of mould on your canvas.
Never leave your camper packed away wet. If you
must leave a campsite with wet canvas be sure to
open and dry out your tent thoroughly at the very first
opportunity when you get home. Mould can develop in
just a couple of days so don’t take the risk.
When packing up even a dry tent it is important to check under the mattress that there is no build-up of condensation
overnight. Body heat on a mattress can create enough temperature difference with the exterior for moisture to form
under it. If left unchecked this can cause mould when your camper is stored. Bird droppings can damage your canvas
due to the Ph level. Always clean off any animal dropping as soon as possible.
When storing your camper between camping trips it is recommended you pack a couple of moisture absorber packs
into your camper. On soft floor campers these are best placed beside the mattress, on hard floor camper they should
be packed inside the main body. Using these packs is critical in tropic regions due to the humidity as when the inside
temperature of the camper drops overnight, the moist air can turn into condensation which in turn will cause mould.

Setting up your Camper

Choosing a Spot to Set Up

When choosing a spot to set up your camper, start with a flat area with no overhanging trees. Birds and bats
occupying trees can defecate leaving droppings on your camper that can damage paint and canvas and leaves and
sap can also taint the canvas. Ensure you are not camping in an area prone to flooding or with bad drainage in the
event of rain. Even the slightest hollow in the ground can put you in a mini lake. In hot weather if possible, set your
camper up so the sun’s arc goes from front to back or back to front with the annex/awning in the general direction the
sun is arcing across. Doing this will keep the bulk of the camper in shade and the inside cooler as it will be protected
by the tropical roof and shaded by the awning.

Levelling Your Camper

The stabiliser legs on your camper/caravan are not designed for supporting the full weight of the trailer, they are there
to stabilise it once it is level. Using your stabilisers as a lifting mechanism will void your warranty as will extending
them with a “rattle gun” or “impact wrench”. Levelling front to back can be done by raising and lowering the jockey
wheel prior to adjusting the stabiliser legs. Getting the trailer level from left to right should be done with drive on
stepped ramps as illustrated below. Once levelled the legs can be lowered to keep the trailer stable. On soft ground
you may want to use timber sole boards under the stabiliser feet.

Site Power
The Projecta charger in your camper requires a 10amp power source and can be connected via an extension lead to
any 240v domestic power point. Never leave power leads coiled when in use, lay the lead out back and forward in a
manner that won’t be a trip hazard or risk damage to the lead. If the site power is not RCD protected it is
recommended to use a portable RCD device.

 1300 494 494
Preparing for Bad Weather
Modern camper tents are designed with a roof height to accommodate taller people. The trade off with this kind of
design is the pitch of the roof is not always steep enough for water to run off effectively in heavy rain. To better
prepare for wet conditions it is advisable in most cases to increase the pitch of the awning/annex roof by lowering the
corners furthest away from the main tent. This should be done to the degree that water cannot pool on the roof.
Additionally, in soft floor campers it is advisable to lower the back corner pole opposite the bed and furthest from the
annex to ensure water can’t pool on the main tent.
Canvas is not designed to store water. Water pooling can stretch and damage canvas and in extreme cases bend the
supporting poles of the camper. This is considered storm damage and is not covered by your camper manufacturer
under warranty.
Lower the annex corner poles as seen in the diagram to increase the fall and evacuate water quickly. Ensure guide
ropes are adjusted accordingly

17
 1300 494 494
Packing Away Your Camper
It’s vitally important when packing your camper up after use that you be mindful of the following:

• Always retract the adjustable foot of your entry stairs completely before closing the camper. Failure to retract
the steps and close firmly against the door can cause the internal poles to make contact resulting in damaged
poles and canvas.

• When closing your camper, never force it. If you encounter unusual resistance, reopen and investigate what
the obstruction is and correct it. Forcing your camper closed may result in accidental damage not covered
under your manufacturer’s warranty.

18
 1300 494 494
Storage & Care

Long Term Storage

To maximise the life of your camper/caravan you should consider additional protection from the elements. UV light and
moisture can have an adverse effect on materials when left unprotected outside. This section outlines some of the
things you can do as an owner to protect your investment.

Interior
Moisture in the smallest amounts can cause mould. High humidity and cooling temperatures can create condensation,
additionally condensation can form under mattresses due to temperature differences between warm bodies on top and
the bed base being cold from outside temperatures. As a precaution you can do the following:

• Check under mattress for moisture before packing up. If moisture is found allow to thoroughly dry before
closing your camper.
• Store 1 or 2 moisture absorbing packs/dehumidifier packs in the camper/caravan to draw away any residual
water vapour.
• If packing up with damp canvas, open and dry out the camper at the first opportunity when returning home.
Dry all canvas thoroughly and follow point 2.

Exterior
Soft floor: The vinyl cover on the tent of your soft floor camper is designed as a travel cover not a storage cover. For
storage at home it is recommended that you use a camper cover or tarpaulin to protect from UV and the elements.
Hard floor: Ensure all seals on the camper have proper compression at 30-50%, are free of dirt and have no canvas
protruding past the seals. UV light and the elements can over time cause seals and fitting to perish and become brittle.
The use of a camper cover or tarpaulin will extend the life of components and keep your investment looking better for
longer.

Care of Paint and Surfaces

Paintwork
The paint coatings on your caravan are no different to that of your car in that they need regular care and maintenance.
Washing: Only use mild detergents free of ammonia when washing your caravan. Always check the label to ensure
the washing solution is nonabrasive, contains no ammonia or caustics.
Polishing: New caravans should only be polished with wax-based polishes that are nonabrasive. When removing
scratches from paintwork use a fine finishing compound. Cutting pastes are too abrasive and will expose the base
material.
Protection: Carnauba wax is an excellent protection against oxidisation. The paint on your caravan should be waxed
annually regardless of being kept under cover to protect the surfaces from oxidisation.

Internal Surfaces
Laminates and internal wall surfaces should be cleaned with a damp soft cloth. For stubborn marks use a mild
detergent based cleaner.
**Do not use cleaners that contain ammonia or caustics**

19
 1300 494 494
Securing Your Camper
When parked and unhitched you should always use suitable wheel chocks to ensure the trailer can’t move in the event
of a handbrake failure. For security a wheel clamp or and hitch lock are highly recommended.

20
 1300 494 494
Torque Settings

Wheel Nuts
Wheel nuts should be tightened to correct torque using a torque wrench. Never trust a “rattle gun” as these may over
or under tighten. A quality torque wrench will ensure nuts are tightened correctly. It’s important to remember to check
your wheel nuts at 50km, 500km and 1000km and periodically thereafter. The correct torque setting of 125Nm for
12mm studs, 140nm for 14mm studs and alloy wheels and 200nm for 14mm studs with steel rims. Refer to the plate
on your drawbar.

Hitch
The high tensile bolts securing your hitch should be tightened to 76Nm. These should be checked at 5000km intervals
or 2500km in harsh off-road conditions.

Trailing Arm Pivot Bolts

The pivot bolts are a high tensile steel. The service interval for these bolts is 5000km under normal use and 2500km
for harsh off-road conditions. During travel they should be inspected daily to ensure they have not rotated or become
damaged. Correct torque is 190Nm

Brakes and Handbrake - Electric

Features
Your trailer is fitted with electric brakes that require a brake controller that can be operated from the driver’s seat.

1. Manual adjusted to provide the correct braking capability for varying road, off-road and load conditions.
2. They can be modulated to provide more or less braking force, thus easing the brake load on the towing
vehicle.
3. There is very little lag time between the moment the tow vehicle’s brakes are actuated and the moment the
trailer brakes are actuated.
4. They can provide some braking independent of the tow vehicle in the event of an emergency.

Operation
When electrical current is fed into the system by the controller, it activates the electromagnets in the brakes. These
electromagnets are energized and are attracted to the rotating surface of the drums which moves the actuating levers
in the direction that the drums are turning thus applying pressure from the brake linings to the drum surface

21
 1300 494 494
Trailer Plug Wiring
The following diagrams outline the correct wiring for 7 pin plug

Hand Brake
Parking brakes are mechanically operated by cable means. The cable attachment occurs outside of the brake backing
plate. Cable force applied to the parking lever creates a torque through the pivot pin and cam assembly. Torque
transferred to the parking cam results in a spreading force between the primary and secondary shoes. The shoes in
turn, move towards the drum until contact is made. Friction generated between the drum and lining contact surface
results in parking brake capability.

Use the cable adjuster to give sufficient tension to be able to set the handbrake lever on the last two notches of the
coupling or handbrake is 1/3 raised when unladen. This needs to be checked again when the trailer or caravan is
loaded. If the cable is too tight, the brakes will be applied as the axle moves backward under spring deflection.

Adjuster
To adjust the handbrake cable tension release locknuts A, B and C in the diagram Handbrake Adjuster 1 below. To
tighten the handbrake cable, turn the adjuster wheel D in a clockwise direction. Once adjusted retighten lock nuts and
test. Always ensure that wheels turn freely when handbrake is off. Overtightened cables can cause brakes to drag and
damage the brake linings.

22
 1300 494 494
Correct Use of Your Electric Brakes
Your trailer brakes are designed to work in synchronisation with your tow vehicle brakes. Never use your tow vehicle
or trailer brakes alone to stop the combined load. Your trailer and tow vehicle will seldom have the correct amperage
flow to the brake magnets to give you comfortable, safe braking unless you make proper brake system adjustments.
Changing trailer load and driving conditions, as well as uneven alternator and battery output, can mean unstable
current flow to your brake magnets. It is therefore imperative that you maintain and adjust your brakes as set forth in
the controller manual, use a properly modulated brake controller and perform the synchronisation/adjustment
procedure recommended by the brake controller supplier.

Important Safety Notice

Proven and in some cases approved service methods and correct repair procedures are
essential for the safe, reliable operation of the brakes, suspension and axles as well as the
personal safety of the individual doing the work. This manual intends to provide general
directions for performing service and repair work with tested, effective techniques. By
following these guidelines, it will help assure

reliability. The numerous variations in procedures, techniques, tools and parts for servicing
axles, as well as in the skill of the individual doing the work will determine outcomes. This
manual cannot possibly anticipate all such variations nor provide advice or cautions as to each. Accordingly, anyone
who departs from the instructions provided in this manual must first establish that they neither compromise their
personal safety nor the vehicle integrity by their choice of methods, tool’s or parts.

*If at all in doubt please refer all repairs and maintenance to a suitably qualified or experienced mechanical repairer.

*Market Direct Campers accepts no liability for personal injury, loss or damage resulting from incorrect applications,
methods and failure to perform maintenance safely and correctly.

Brake Adjustment
Brakes should be adjusted (1) after the first 300 km’s of operation when the brake shoes and drums have “seated,” (2)
at 5000 km’s intervals, (3) or as use and performance requires. The brakes should be adjusted in the following
manner:

Never crawl under your trailer unless it is resting on properly placed jack stands. Do not
place supports on any part of the suspension system and use the designated jack point or
under the spring base plate to jack trailer.

Brake Cleaning and Inspection

Your trailer brakes must be inspected and serviced at 5000km or more often as required by use and performance.
Magnets and shoes must be changed when they become worn or scored to avoid inefficient vehicle braking.

Brake Lubrication
This should only be done by qualified persons.

Caution
Do not get grease or oil on the brake linings, drums or magnets.

23
 1300 494 494
Magnets
Your electric brakes are equipped with high quality electromagnets that are designed to provide the proper input force
and friction characteristics. Your magnets should be inspected and replaced if worn unevenly or abnormally.

Even if wear is normal as indicated by your straightedge, the magnets should be replaced if any part of the magnet coil
has become visible through the friction material facing of the magnet. It is also recommended that the drum armature
surface be refaced when replacing magnets.

Magnets should also be replaced in pairs - both sides of the axle. Always use genuine MDC OEM parts.

Shoes and Linings

A simple visual inspection of your brake linings will tell if they are useable.
Replacement is necessary if the lining is worn (to within 1.5mm or less), contaminated with grease or oil or abnormally
scored or gouged. It is important to replace both shoes on each brake and both brakes of the same axle. This is
necessary to retain the “balance” of your brakes. Be sure to replace your shoes only with genuine MDC parts available
from our outlets.

Corrosion Prevention
It’s important to take steps to prevent corrosion of parts on your trailer to extend the service life. Many fittings are high
tensile and therefor zinc plated. Fittings such as this can benefit from additional protection. Some helpful products to
prevent corrosion are “Lanotec”, “WD40”, “Inox” and similar products. These can be spray applied and do a very good
job of protecting metal surfaces, particularly in corrosive and aggressive environments near the ocean and inland
waterways.
Often, we take our campers and caravans to saltwater environments. Driving through salt water is never
recommended as the residual chloride ions accelerate corrosion greatly. If you are camping near or driving through
these kinds of environments, we highly recommend that your trailer be thoroughly cleaned after use. Flushing the
chassis and washing and rinsing your trailer is important.

Wheels and Tyres
Highway
Your caravan is fitted with 16” wheels and 265/75 R16 Goodride Tyres. The tyres are a “Light Truck” typre with a mud
terrain tread and a maximum load rating on single axle of 1550kg at 80psi.
Recommended highway pressure at tare weight of the caravan is 36-38psi
Recommended highway pressure at ATM of 2300kg is 46-48psi

Off Road
Off road driving requires lower tyre pressures and lower speeds. When driving on rough and corrugated road, a
reduction of speed and controlled deflation of tyres is required to protect the caravan and its suspension from damage.
In extreme circumstances tyre pressures may be reduced significantly. When lowering from highway pressure, a rule
of thumb is to reduce your speed by the same percentage as the lowering of tyre pressure.
Because off road conditions can vary greatly, you must lower your pressures and reduce speed until vibration and
shock through the suspension is at a moderate level to suit the conditions you are experiencing, and the loaded weight
of your caravan.
WARNING: When returning to the highway or when increasing speed, you must reinflate the tyres to correct highway
pressures. Failure to reinflate can cause severe handling problems resulting in injury or death.

Suspension
Your camper is fitted with quality independent trailing arm suspension with dual shock absorbers. This design is ideal
for the full range of use on and off road however, there are limitations in prolonged use of corrugated and rough road.

Shock Absorbers & Bushes

The function of shock absorbers is to turn kinetic energy into heat and dampen the rebound in the suspension to keep
the tyre in contact with the road. During prolonged periods on corrugated and rough roads it is possible to overheat
shock absorbers to the point of failure (shock fade). Best practice is to take regular breaks and allow both the shock
absorbers and suspension bushes to cool. Overheating the bushes through prolonged driving on corrugations can
soften the thermoplastic and cause premature wear and/or deformation of the bush. On severely rough roads stop
regularly up to every hour to allow components to cool.

Electrical Systems

Chargers & Inverters

For detailed information on the appliances installed in your camper please refer to the manuals included in your
camper handover.

Caution
Electrical devices can be dangerous. Under no circumstances should repairs and
modifications be attempted by unqualified or untrained persons. MDC accepts no liability for
any personal injury, damages or loss as a result of unqualified or untrained persons repairing
or altering the electrical systems on this product. If in doubt call your local MDC outlet or
phone: 1300 831407

Battery Care
Your camper is fitted with 100Ah AGM Batteries. Storage type batteries require periodical maintenance to perform at
their peak and extend their service life. The following is an outline on how to gain the best performance and lifecycle
from the battery fitted in your camper:

• Always use a quality charger that caters to the voltage requirements of an AGM battery. Absorption charging
is from 14.6v to 14.8v, float charging is from 13.2v to 13.8v.
• Never leave your battery stored at low volts. Before storing your camper ensure that battery/s is fully charged
and all power is disconnected/switched off.
• When possible leave the battery connected to a smart charger that will cycle and maintain the battery during
storage. If this isn’t possible check and charge at regular intervals to prevent excessive discharge.
• Never use unregulated solar power direct to your batteries.
• When in use try to keep your battery at or as close to maximum capacity as possible.
• Allowing your battery voltage to drop below 12.5v can permanently damage its performance and reduce its
service life.

Gas & Water Systems

Hot Water System

If your camper came with a Country Comfort portable hot water system, please refer to the owner manual or their
website for more information.

https://countrycomfortlpggas.com.au/

Water Pumps
The pump when switched on is activated by the release of pressure at the tap and will pump water continuously until
the tap is turned off and pressure restored. Should the pumps activate while the taps is turned off this could indicate a
leak and require investigation and rectification.

Connecting the Gas

Your camper is fitted with plumbed gas with the regulator and gas bottle placement at the front of the trailer. Always
ensure gas bottles are serviceable and within the 10-year service life. This information is stamped on the bottle base.

Once you connect your gas bottle you can connect the kitchen gas hose to the bayonet connection provided. Once the
bayonet is

secure, ensure all controls on the stove are in the “Off” position and then turn on the gas bottle valve. If your kitchen
stove is fitted with electric ignition, plug the connector into the 12v socket beside the kitchen and turn on the required
burner whilst pressing the ignition button. When the burner ignites hold the button down for 5 seconds then release.
NOTE: It will take up to a minute or so for the gas to purge the line and flow through the burners.

Pre-Trip Checklist
Working from a checklist will help avoid forgetting important tasks particularly nin regard to safety. Individual camper
set ups may differ depending on tow vehicle and any modifications made by the owner. The table below is for
guidance only.

Pre-Hook Up
Water Tanks full & locking cap secure All latches and door locks secure
Bearings checked and serviced at last service All cables and plugs are in serviceable condition
Hitch creased and checked Tyres in serviceable condition and correct pressure
Wheel nuts tight and torqued to correct tension Bearing caps secure
All external fittings secure Stabiliser legs working & secure in travel position
Gas bottles and jerry cans secured Stabiliser leg handle in trailer
Chains and shackles in serviceable condition

Hooked Up to Vehicle
Hitch secured to receiver all pins and locks engaged Trailer lights plugged in
Anderson plug connected All cables clear of possible damage
Safety chains and shackles connected to car Chains are crossed and at correct length
All lights working Trailer brakes engaging when brakes applied
Trailer is sitting at correct level
Jockey wheel is raised and locked Do a walk around and check visually

Useful Accessories
Levelling Blocks
These are excellent for levelling your trailer on set up. Stabiliser legs are not meant for correcting the trailer angle, they
are there to keep it stable when people are in it. Using levelling blocks will extend the service life of the stabiliser legs
and make set up much safer and faster. See below images.

29
 1300 494 494
Wheel Chocks
Wheel chocks are an important safety device when leaving your trailer parked on even the slightest incline. On level
ground it is recommended to chock both sides of the wheel. On a hill you should chock the wheels on the downhill side
ensuring the chocks

Covers
Hard floor campers and caravans will benefit greatly from a storage cover. Perishable fittings such as rubber seals and
plastic will be protected from UV radiation. Paint and gelcoat finishes will oxidise less, and this will extend the service
life of these finishes.

Stone Protection
There are proprietary devices available that assist in protecting your trailer from stones thrown up by the tow vehicle.
Rock Tamer and Stone Stomper are two of the most commonly used.

Handy Tips

Driving Off Road

Towing your camper off road adds many dimensions to the driver’s responsibilities and factors to be considered. When
travelling remote always carry sufficient spare parts and supplies to cater for a “worst case scenario.”
Always perform suggested preventative maintenance and daily checks. Minimum trailer spares would consist of:

• Wheel Bearings
• Seals
• Wheel studs and nuts

These are available from Market Direct Campers

Wildlife
Australian outback roads are notorious for wandering stock and native wildlife which can be a serious danger to
motorists. Due care must always be taken, and the possibility of an animal strike considered in regard to speed and
time of day you are driving. Most animals in the outback are more active at night which greatly increases the likelihood
of an animal strike between dusk and dawn. Towing a camper or caravan increases braking distance and has inherent
risk associated with aggressive and defensive manoeuvring to avoid a collision.

Corrugations & rough road

Corrugations are arguably the most taxing and damaging road conditions to vehicles. Constant vibration can loosen
vehicle components and as a stress dynamic to vehicles and drivers well in excess of normal road driving. In these
conditions take regular breaks to reduce driver fatigue and fatigue to vehicles. Shock absorbers can become
extremely hot on corrugated roads which can cause damage to seals resulting in shock absorber fade (reduction in
damping effect) and in extreme cases failure of the seal completely. On rough and corrugated roads, it’s important to
adjust tyre pressures on your car and trailer to soften the effect and extend the contact patch of the tyre on the road.

Bulldust
This phenomenon is common on outback roads. Fine dust can settle in large holes obscuring them from unsuspecting
drivers. It is important to reduce speed in these conditions and drive carefully to avoid the possibility of damage or an
accident.

Sand
When driving on sand it is important to lower tyre pressures on both the vehicle and trailer. By lowering the pressure
you will effectively create a larger footprint for the tyre which will reduce how far it sinks in sand. Sand shape and
compaction will vary around the country so necessary reduction in tyre pressure will vary. Always keep in mind the
lower the pressure the lower the speed you should travel. When lowering pressures to 20psi or less you also increase
the chance of rolling the bead of the tyre off the rim so sharp turns should be avoided. When driving these conditions,
it is strongly advised you carry a tyre pressure gauge/deflator and a portable compressor to reinflate when back on the
highway.

Causeways
Outback roads often have causeways to control water runoff and prevent erosion of the road. When travelling at speed
these causeways can be a danger to motorists and vehicles so due care should be taken to reduce speed when
approaching them. In very remote areas these often won’t have signposts so special care should be taken in these
areas.

Creek and River Crossings

These crossings can be extremely dangerous even in low water levels and should never be attempted in times of even
mild flooding. Towing a camper or caravan greatly elevates the risk in this situation and should never be attempted
unless you are completely assured it is safe to do so. If there is any doubt about access in flood prone areas, you
should contact the local authorities to find out conditions and dangers before you proceed.

34
 1300 494 494

Protecting the environment

Remote areas and National Parks are sensitive areas and all precautions should be taken not to damage tracks,
interfere with flora and fauna and not to contaminate the area. In sensitive areas it is advisable to use grey water tanks
and contained toilets. If your camper or caravan isn’t fitted with such, both toilets and grey water tanks are available as
portable self-contained units. Always store food, food scraps and rubbish in secure containers, native animals can be
quite resourceful in scavenging for scraps. Dingos have been known to open locked eskies to get to food so don’t
chance it, always secure these items when travelling.

Trip Planning
* When planning remote trips always consider where you will resupply for fuel, food and water. Some remote fuel
stations may run out of fuel during busy periods or times when large fuel trucks are unable to access the area due to
road conditions and closures or simply close outside of the season. Always check conditions and availability of fuel
before setting out to remote areas.

Shire Councils
There are many resources available for planning your trip away. Every state has a tourism website as so regional
councils which will give you extensive information on camping sites, things to do and see, events happening in the
area and contact information for booking sites or activities.

National Parks
Each state’s national parks organisation have a website to assist in finding campsites and provide specific information
about each parks unique qualities. As a planning resource these are extremely good. All contact information will be
available.

Wikicamps
This smartphone app is an excellent resource for finding all kinds of camping across Australia. If you are looking for
free camping you won’t find a better resource. There is an app add on that even assists in finding fuel stops with user
updates on fuel prices.

Facebook
These days there are numerous Facebook groups dedicated to travelling with campers and caravans and also groups
dedicated to travel in specific areas. The area specific groups have many locals as members and are a great way to
find out local track closures, conditions and research the area in general.
