This manual is supplied as a reference to required maintenance of the product. Failure to use and maintain the
product in accordance with what is outlined in this manual may affect your warranty.
Incorrect and/or insufficient maintenance may cause product failure resulting in property loss, damage or
injury or death.

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.
This caravan is fitted with electric brakes and a “Breakaway System”. Requirements for breakaway systems can
vary from state to state. It is mandatory to supply a maintenance charge to the breakaway battery source while
driving. You MUST ensure this capability is fitted to your vehicle. The maintenance charge is supplied to the
caravan via the Anderson plug on the drawbar.
WARNING: BALL LOADING (DOWNWARD LOAD ON TOW HITCH) MUST NOT EXCEED 350KG OR THE
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LOAD BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER OR TOW BAR RATING, WHICH EVER IS
THE LOWEST. Exceeding these limits may result in an accident causing serious injury or death and/or property
damage.
It is important to load your caravan correctly to distribute weight evenly and achieve a suitable ball weight load and
prevent loading in a manner that can cause a Caravan to sway and/or roll excessively left and right. The industry
optimum ball weight on a caravan is between 9 and 11% of the total Caravan weight. MDC Caravans fit into this
category and 10% should be used as the starting point.
