3 GENERAL Be familiar with advisory stickers on the windscreen. - note unsealed road travelling warnings. - when driving, keep to the left-hand side of the road. - be aware of your vehicle s clearance height. Take extra care when parking or turning off the main road. Do not park in multi-storey car parks; be careful of awnings, low verandahs, petrol station canopies and tree branches. Don t go through a drive-thru facility or cut corners too sharply (the top of the vehicle leans in as you turn, risking damage). Tasmania has many mountainous regions. When travelling downhill, choose a lower gear to prevent the likelihood of overheating the brakes. To reduce the occurrence of condensation during cooler nights, use the heater in conjunction with leaving a window or vent ajar. Some ventilation is important. Tasmania has many nocturnal animals (active at dusk, during the night and dawn). When travelling at night, we recommend travelling at much slower speeds. Wombats and other wildlife can cause a lot of damage (and road-kill is sad). During windy conditions we recommend you reduce your speed on all roads as taller vehicles are susceptible to side winds. Smoking and pets are not permitted in our vehicles. On return of your vehicle, please ensure the interior is in a clean and tidy state, with all used linen placed in the shower or a plastic bag and the dishes, pans etc are washed. Familiarise yourself with the vehicle controls and adjust mirrors before setting off.

4 MOTORHOME - EXTERNAL Tool kit and jack are located behind the driver s seat. Adjust external mirrors manually by pressing on the mirror. Vehicle height is 3.3 meters. Mind your head getting in and out of the cabin. 240v mains extension cable, grey water collection bucket & water hose to refill the water tank are in an external compartment (on the driver s side). The 240v inlet socket is located on the driver s side of the van. Lift flap, plug the provided extension cable in and connect to a 15amp site power point then switch on the power. This will recharge the Motorhome s deep-cycle battery pack in about 4-5 hours (ok to leave plugged in overnight). The Motorhome battery pack is also recharged as you drive. The power points will now be operational once plugged into power. We recommend plugging into a powered site every third day; however this may vary according to use. The portable staircase is located in the compartment on the driver s side. Release the holding strap. Expand the steps fully and mount the staircase firmly into place on the mounting bracket below the home door. Make sure they are stored securely before travelling.

5 The LP Gas bottle door is located near the rear door. - turn the tap anti-clockwise (to the left) to turn gas on - to turn the gas off, turn the tap clockwise (to the right). It must be off when travelling - the gas bottle does not need to be returned full The water fill cap is located near the passenger side door. It s not locked, so twist the cap anticlockwise (to the left) while pressing in firmly to remove. - the water capacity is approximately 25 litres. - fill the water tank with the provided hose until water overflows. The grey water tank from the sink drains from below the vehicle, near the petrol cap. Use the provided bucket to collect grey water and empty in an appropriate area. The spare tyre is located underneath the van. Use the tools provided in the tool kit to access the tyre. Call the RACT on if it s necessary to change a tyre. The fuel cap is located on the passenger s side of the vehicle. Use the ignition key to unlock. Refuel with unleaded petrol only and replace the cap (with arrow pointing upwards) and re-lock. Fuel tank holds 76 litres. The external light is next to the home entrance door and has a rubber on/off switch near the top of the handle.

6 The home door key is a small key with a diamond shaped head or gold coloured blade. - Unlock the door by turning the key anti-clockwise (to the left) a quarter of a turn, then back to vertical and remove the key. The door handle will pop open. Lift towards you and open the door. - Close the door by pushing firmly, then lock by turning the key clockwise (to the right) a quarter turn. The handle will then close flush. Don t try to lock the door by forcing handle use the key. - Fly screen door: To separate the home door for use as a fly screen door, turn the inside home door handle vertical to separate doors. Push the doors together firmly to re-instate as a single door. Before travelling, make sure the home door is locked. Longford Caravan Park, Longford

7 INSIDE THE HOME COMPARTMENT The fire extinguisher is located near the dinette seat. Fridge temperature control: Turn the fridge on and set to the desired temperature via the control on the top right of the fridge unit. The vertical latch on the left side top opens the fridge. The fridge can be left on continuously during the rental. Turn the TV on via the remote control, which is located in the drawer next to the bed. The adjustable rabbit ears aerial is located on the wall next to the TV. The TV needs to be retuned via the autoscan function when travelling to different areas refer to the instruction manual. Hotplates and griller to use, lift both lids. To start the flame, make sure the LPG bottle is turned on. Press down on the required knob and hold in to the large flame symbol while lighting with a match or lighter. Then adjust the flame to the required setting. When using any function of the cooker have the hotplate lid open, allow time for cool down and make sure the lid is closed when travelling. Have a window open when cooking. The electric heater (for use when on a powered site) is located in the cupboard below the bed. This may be plugged in to the low-mounted power point near the dinette seat. Take care to place it in a stable position. If using for an extended period open a window slightly (this will also aid in reducing condensation) To open the windows, first you release the two latches by sliding them to the left and then slowly wind the handle anticlockwise (to the left) to open. A gas detector is mounted near the lower power point and will sound an alarm if the presence of gas is detected. If the alarm sounds, turn off all the gas appliances and turn off the gas at the bottle and leave the home door open. Make sure there is no naked flame present and call AutoRent on

8 To use the sink, turn on the water pump below the drawers. Storage cupboards: Open all cupboards to familiarise with contents and make sure all are locked before travelling. The dinette table can be rotated slightly for ease of access, and can be removed if required by releasing the latches and then by pulling upwards. Check vehicle condition report before leaving the depot. Before travelling again, always walk around the vehicle to make sure everything is unplugged, windows closed and latched, overhead hatches closed, tyres ok, home door locked and check for any obstacles that may hinder driving.

9 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE TV No picture? - If there is no picture, the TV may need to be retuned via the autoscan function; see TV manual for instructions. (Some remote areas may not have any reception) - The TV may take 5-10 seconds to start working once you have pressed the red button on the remote control. POWER TO THE VAN No power to electrical items? - Make sure the main isolator switch (located in the step at the base of the bed) is in the ON position. - To re-charge the 12v battery pack and operate the power points, the van must be connected to a 15A power source via the provided extension cable. - If connected and there is no power to the van, check that the power lead is connected firmly. If still no power, check that the circuit breaker switch located under the dinette seat, or in the overhead locker above the dinette seat is on (in the up position). If there s still no power check that the power source is providing power by asking the park caretaker.

10 - Another method of checking you have power is to plug your camper heater directly into the power-source power point. This may help show if the extension lead is faulty. - The van will need to be connected for at least 4 hours to fully re-charge the battery pack. WATER TO HOME Water issues? - If the water tank is nearly empty, this may cause the taps to spurt. To clear the lines turn on the water pump switch, fill the water tank, then turn on the tap until water flows smoothly.
