GENERAL QUESTIONS

GENERAL QUESTIONS

Q: Where Can I Obtain Your Latest Brochure?

A: Our latest brochures are available from Approved Retailers or can be viewed and printed from the

download

section on our website www.elddis.co.uk. A request form can also be completed should you

wish to receive a printed copy of our latest brochures.

Q: Why Is the Handbook Not Specific To My Model?

A: Many of the components used in the manufacture of our caravans are identical throughout our model
ranges, so we produce a generic handbook, which covers all models manufactured for that season. If the
literature supplied with your caravan does not answer your question then please contact your Retailer
for further assistance.

Q. I Require Technical Or Other Information, Who Can Help Me?

A. The majority of information you require is available through your Elddis Retailer.

Q - Can You Tell Me The Second Hand Price Of My Caravan?

A - As a manufacturer we are not involved in the second hand market. You should contact a Retailer, The
Camping and Caravanning Club and/or The Caravan Club. They should be able to give some indication of
market value.

Q: How Can I Avoid Excessive Caravan Snaking When I Tow And What Should I Do If It
Starts?

A: Elddis has extensively tested our caravans and we are confident of their stability. However, many other
factors can influence your towing unit. When loading your caravan put heavy items low down and mainly
over the axle(s). You should not stow tins, bottles or heavy items in overhead lockers, during towing.
Everything else should be distributed evenly around your caravan, front and back, and each side of the
centre line should snaking start, if at all possible don’t brake and don’t compensate by steering into the
swings. Just ease up on the accelerator and allow your speed to gradually decrease until the snaking
subsides.

Q: What Is The Correct Awning Size For My Caravan?

A: Ground to ground awning measurements for Elddis caravans can be found by looking in the latest
model section, the Product Archive section on our website, or by referring to the relevant Technical
Specification section of this handbook. However, we advise you verify this information by threading a
piece of string through the awning channel from ground to ground, and then by measuring the string.
Your awning manufacturer will then advise on the nearest size of awning appropriate for your
measurement.

Q: Can I Fit A Bicycle Rack/Top Box/Air Conditioning To My Caravan?

A: It may be possible to fit accessories to your caravan but this will depend upon the internal
construction of the roof/walls and whether they can support the weight of the accessory. If it is possible
your Retailer will be able to advise you, (or alternatively they will obtain confirmation and a drawing
where necessary, from Elddis). Please note that weight of any accessories will reduce your User Payload
allowance.

Q: My Interior Lights Are Not Working, What Do I Do?

A: It is possible that all of the 230V mains electrical equipment may not be operated simultaneously.
Check fuses, battery connections and power supply (master light switch). Refer to your Retailer for
further assistance. PLEASE NOTE: The internal lights in your caravan will not operate whilst the caravan’s
electrical hitch cables are connected to a towing vehicle with the engine running.
