1 Instruction Ma nual
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing a ERIBA caravan.
This instruction manual is intended to help you get to know and use your new caravan. It is essential
that you read and comply with the safety instructions in chapter 2.
Don’t hesitate to contact our ERIBA service centres if you have any questions. Their staff are fully
conversant with your vehicle and will be pleased to help in any way they can. Our list of ERIBA serv-
ice centres in Europe is updated regularly. You can obtain a copy of the latest edition from our cus-
tomer service department or from your ERIBA dealer.
This instruction manual also includes the warranty certificate for your caravan. You will be receiving
the guarantee stamp shortly. Please paste this stamp in the field provided to confirm the ERIBA
guarantee. To maintain the six year ERIBA weatherproof guarantee against water ingress, your ve-
hicle must be inspected for a fee by an authorised ERIBA dealer or an authorised ERIBA workshop
once a year. A small fee will be charged for this inspection and a confirmation stamp stuck into this
manual. We also recommend a general inspection of the conversion at yearly intervals.
For emergencies on the road outside working hours, HYMER AG offers a mobility guarantee with its
own help line. Stipulations will be sent to you separately shortly. This service is free of charge for
new vehicles in their first year. The address* is:

Water Ingress Test *
During the water ingress test, your ERIBA dealer or an authorised workshop, using a hygrometer,
checks the entire body of your vehicle for water impermeability. The test is carried out on all connec-
tions, windows, skylights, external flaps and doors.
Important:
The six-year weatherproof guarantee is only valid when the testing intervals are upheld. The water
ingress test must be carried out on an annual basis. The water ingress test may be carried out max.
six months before or six months after the date on which the test is due. For additional information
concerning the 6 year guarantee against leaks, please refer to the following text. Also your ERIBA
dealer will be pleased to advise you.
Conditions for the 6 Year Weatherproof Guarantee *
1. For new vehicles, the ERIBA dealer guarantees that for a period of six years - for motorhomes,
up to a maximum of 100.000 km - that, with normal use, no water will penetrate the bodies man-
ufactured by HYMER AG.
2. The prerequisite for this guarantee is that the purchaser provides evidence that
- water penetrates the ERIBA body at the connections, bored holes and joints in the floor,
wheel housing, side wall, front wall, rear wall and roof, including alcoves by normal use.
For example it is not deemed as being normal use when water which has a pressure exceed-
ing 1 bar makes contact with the vehicle.
- the aforementioned areas are in their original condition or if work has been carried out, then
this has been carried out either by HYMER AG or an authorised workshop. It is of no impor-
tance if the purchaser proves that the work or alterations did not cause the leaks.
- the defect does not result from misuse or negligence or intentional actions taken by the pur-
chaser.
- the defect is not a result of environmental pollution which exceeds that which is normal and
permissible.
- the vehicle has been presented to the ERIBA dealer or an authorised workshop for inspection
purposes in exchange for a fee. The annual period commences as defined under point 5 of
this agreement. If the inspection work is carried out six months after expiry of the period at the
latest, then the right to claim under the guarantee remains in force. The inspection interval is
not lengthened.
- a leakage or a dampness which indicates leakage has called to the attention of the ERIBA
dealer within 14 days of its discovery.
- the costs for the guarantee work do not exceed the value of the vehicle at that time.
-HYMER AG or an authorised workshop was commissioned to remedy defects discovered
during the inspection without delay.
-the
HYMER AG care instructions were adhered to.
The inspections are to be proven by means of the guarantee stamps pasted into this booklet by
the ERIBA dealer or the authorised workshop, with the date and serial number, together with the
stamp and signature from the workshop.
*
not valid for all vehicle types and all countries
Guarantee
Touring - 03/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 0731070 - HYW-0102-01EN 5
3. Any leak covered by the guarantee, will be remedied by the authorised ERIBA dealer. Should
the remedy not succeed and the party covered by the guarantee cannot be reasonably expected
to accept additional guarantees provided by the ERIBA dealer, then the party covered by the
guarantee can have the leakage remedied by HYMER AG, at the expense of the ERIBA dealer.
No further claims apply.
4. Claims made by the purchaser especially with respect to any warranty and guarantee claims
made against the dealer or claims resulting from product liability are not affected by this guaran-
tee.
A change of ownership has no effect on the guarantee obligations.
Damage claims which could result from this guarantee agreement and the carrying out thereof
and which could be made against a ERIBA dealer by the party covered by the guarantee are ex-
cluded, except for cases where they are based on intent or gross negligence on the part of the
ERIBA dealer or the breach of a cardinal duty.
5. The guarantee period commences with the delivery of the vehicle to the purchaser, on the date
of the initial registration at the latest. It terminates prematurely when the vehicle is written off or
it’s capability of use ceases to exist for other reasons.
Work carried out on the vehicle which does not fall under this guarantee agreement do not extend
the guarantee period.
6. The claims with respect to the remedying of a leakage falls under the statute of limitations
6 months after discovery of the leakage or dampness indicating this leakage, upon expiry of the
guarantee period at the latest.

After each service, the "Inspection Checklist" provides you with supplementary and detailed infor-
mation concerning the work which has been specifically carried out on your vehicle. You receive the
Inspection Checklist when you collect your vehicle from your ERIBA dealer. Should it be determined

ent on the customer commissioning this to be done. Please also adhere to the service intervals stip-
ulated by the manufacturers of the individual equipment. Information is included in the service doc-
uments enclosed.

1 Introduction
Please read this instruction manual completely before using the vehicle for the first time!
Always keep this instruction manual in the caravan. Also inform all other users of the safety regula-
tions.
This instruction manual contains sections which describe model-specific equipment or special equip-
ment. These sections are not specially marked. In some cases, the actual equipment of your caravan
may therefore be different from that shown in some illustrations and descriptions.
Special equipment is described when an explanation is required.
Adhere to the instruction manuals which are separately enclosed.
Should the caravan be subjected to damage due to a failure to follow the instructions in this instruc-
tion manual, then the guarantee claim against HYMER AG is deemed invalid.
Our caravans are subjected to continuous development. Please understand that we reserve the right
to alter the form, equipment and technology. Therefore, no claims can be made against HYMER AG
as a result of the contents of this instruction manual. The equipment which was known and included
at the time of going to press is described.
The reprinting, translation and copying, including extracts is not permitted without prior written au-
thorisation from HYMER AG.
The non-observance of this symbol can lead to personal injury.
>The non-observance of this symbol can lead to damage being caused to, or inside the
vehicle.
>This symbol indicates recommendations or special aspects.
>This symbol indicates actions which lead to environmental awareness.
>The details "right", "left", "front" and "rear" always refer to the vehicle in direction of
travel.
>All dimensions and weight details are "approximate".
>The caravan comes without a jack. We suggest you buy a usual commercial scissor-
type jack before first use of your caravan, in order to have it ready in the case of mis-
hap or emergency. Your ERIBA dealer will be pleased to advise you.
1 Introduction
18 Touring - 03/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 0731070 - HYW-0102-01EN
1.1 General
The caravan is constructed in accordance with the latest state of technology and the recognised
safety regulations. Nevertheless, personal injury may result and the caravan may be damaged if the
safety instructions in this instruction manual are not followed.
Only use the caravan in a technically impeccable condition. Follow the instructions in the instruction
manual.
Malfunctions which impair the safety of persons or the caravan should be immediately remedied by
qualified personnel.
Have the caravan’s braking and gas systems inspected and repaired by an authorised specialist
workshop only.
Alterations to the body are only to be carried out with the authorisation of HYMER AG.
Luggage and accessories may only be transported up to the maximum permissible gross weight.
Observe the test or inspection periods stipulated in this instruction manual.
1.2 Environmental Tips
>Remember that: all kinds of waste water and household waste are not to be disposed
of in drains or in the open countryside.
>Only empty the waste water tank and Thetford cassette at disposal stations, at camp-
ing sites or in disposal points which are especially provided for this purpose. When
stopping in towns and communities observe the instructions at caravan sites or ask
where there are disposal points.
>Drain waste water tank as often as possible, even when it is not completely full (hy-
giene).
If possible, flush out waste water tank and drainage pipe with fresh water every time it
is emptied.
>Never allow the Thetford cassette to become too full. Empty the Thetford cassette fre-
quently, at the latest as soon as the filling level display lights up.
>Separate household waste according to glass, tin cans, plastic and wet waste also
when on a journey. Enquire at the town or community authority about disposal points.
Household waste is not to be disposed of in waste paper baskets which are situated at
car parks.
>Empty waste bins as often as possible into the cans or containers provided for this
purpose. This helps to avoid unpleasant smells and an accumulation of rubbish on
board.
>When parked, do not allow the engine of the towing vehicle to run more than neces-
sary. When running idle, a cold engine releases more contaminants than usual. The
running temperature of the engine is achieved more quickly whilst the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
>Use an environmentally-friendly WC chemical agent for the WC which can also be bio-
logically degraded and only use small doses.
>When staying in towns and communities for longer periods, search for parking areas
which are especially for caravans and towing vehicles. Enquire at the town or commu-
nity authority about parking spaces.
2 Safety
20 Touring - 03/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 0731070 - HYW-0102-01EN
2.2 General
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation. When staying in the caravan, open the lift-
ing roof. There is a danger of suffocation due to increased CO2 levels.
Observe the headroom of the conversion door.
>As far as the appliances (gas heater, cooker, refrigerator, etc.) are concerned, the in-
struction manuals are authoritative. It is imperative that they be observed!
>Fitting accessories or special equipment can alter the dimensions, weight and road
behaviour of the caravan. Some of the parts must be entered in the vehicle papers.
>Only use wheel rims and tyres which are approved for the caravan. Information con-
cerning the size of the approved wheel rims and tyres is included in the vehicle docu-
ments.
>Apply the handbrake when parking the caravan.
>When leaving the caravan, close the conversion door, all external flaps and windows.
>When selling the caravan, hand over all instruction manuals for the caravan and the
fitted appliances.

2.3 Roadworthiness
Before commencing the journey, check the brakes and the indicating and lighting
equipment.
After the vehicle has been standing for a longer period (approx. 10 months) have the
braking and gas systems checked by an authorised specialist workshop.
During the journey, no persons are to travel inside the caravan.
In winter, the roof must be free of snow and ice prior to the commencement of the
journey.
Before commencing the journey, empty the waste water tank.
>Before commencing the journey, distribute the caravan payload evenly (see
chapter 3).
>When loading the caravan and when taking a rest from driving, in order to load lug-
gage or food, for example, observe the maximum permissible gross weight and cara-
van load of the towing vehicle (refer to vehicle documents).
>Ensure that the maximum permitted nose weight is not exceeded and that the mini-
mum nose weight does not fall below the minimum. Load the caravan accordingly.
>While driving with your caravan, the towing vehicle must be equipped with two exterior
rear view mirrors.
>Before commencing the journey, close the regulator tap on the gas bottle and all other
gas isolator taps.
>Before commencing the journey, ensure that all cupboard doors, the toilet door and all
drawers and flaps are secure. Engage the refrigerator door securing device.
>Close all external flaps and fasten flap locks before each journey.
>Before commencing the journey, close windows and lifting roof.
>Before commencing the journey, ensure that the four corner steadies and the jockey
wheel are cranked as high as possible.
>At the beginning of every journey and after short interruptions, ensure that the en-
trance step is completely retracted.
>During the initial journey and each time after changing a wheel, re-tighten the wheel
bolts after 50 km (30 miles). Subsequently inspect them at regular intervals in order to
ensure that they are firmly seated. See chapter 13 for tightening torque.
>Check the tyre pressure before a journey and at two-week intervals (see chapter 13).
Wrong tyre pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre
burst. You can lose the control over the caravan.
>Tyres must not be older than 6 years as the material becomes brittle over time (see
chapter 13).

2.4 Towing
2.5 Gas Fittings
Care is to be taken when connecting and detaching the caravan.
No persons are to be between the towing vehicle and the caravan during positioning
for connecting and detaching.
Before commencing the journey, close all gas isolator taps and the regulator tap.
Have the gas fittings repaired or altered by an authorised workshop only.
Have the gas fittings checked by an authorised specialist workshop according to the
national regulations before commissioning. This also applies for not registered vehi-
cles. For modifications to the gas fittings have the gas fittings immediately checked
by an authorised specialist workshop.
In case of a defect of the gas fittings (gas odour, high gas consumption) there is an
explosion hazard! Close regulator tap on the gas bottle immediately. Open doors and
windows and ventilate. Do not smoke; do not ignite any open flames, and do not op-
erate electric switches (light switches a.s.o.). Have the defect repaired by an author-
ised workshop.
Open the lifting roof before taking open sources of combustion (gas cooker) into serv-
ice.
Do not use the gas cooker for heating purposes.
The exhaust pipe must be fitted tightly to the heating system and to the chimney and
must be sealed. The exhaust gas pipe must not show any evidence of damage.
Waste air must be able to leave and fresh air must be able to enter unhindered. For
this reason, no snow walls or aprons must be allowed to lie against the vehicle. Keep
the intake openings under the floor of the vehicle open and clean.
If the caravan or gas equipment are not used, close the regulator tap on the gas bot-
tle.
If there are several gas devices, each gas device must have its own gas isolator tap.
If individual devices are not in use, close the respective gas isolator tap.
Thermocouple must close within 1 minute after the gas flame has extinguished. A
clicking sound is audible. Check function from time to time.
When refuelling the towing vehicle, on ferries and in the garage, no source of com-
bustion (gas cooker, heating, boiler, etc.) is to be in operation. Danger of explosion!
The designated gas bottle compartment will accommodate two gas cylinders, i. e.
Calor Gas Butane/Propane or Camping Gaz. All gas cylinders must be fitted with the
appropriate regulator.
Secure gas cylinders in a vertical position. At no time should gas cylinders be trans-
ported horizontally.

Connect the caravan (see section 3.3). The coupling jaw and the ball must interlock and are not
to be loosely superposed. The coupling jaw must completely surround the ball.
Connect the breakaway brake cable with a loop to a suitable anchorage point on the vehicle, do
not attach to the towball.
Raise the jockey wheel as far upwards as possible. Adjust the running role in parallel to the di-
rection of travel and to the draw box.
Insert the thirteen-pin plug into the socket of the towing vehicle. Ensure that the two hooks of the
safety cover engage with the plug. The hooks prevent the plug from becoming loose during the
journey.
Put the connection cable in a loose loop across the drawbar. Make sure that it does not touch
the ground.
Make sure that the caravan coupling is securely mounted on the coupling ball and that the green
safety indicator is visible.
Check whether corner steadies and jockey wheel are raised.
Check the caravan lighting system whilst the towing vehicle is connected.
>Ensure that the interior of the coupling is not soiled and that the movable parts of the
coupling (not the ball retainer) are lubricated.
>AKS stabiliser: The tow ball is not to be lubricated when using the stabiliser. The fric-
tion pads are pressed against the coupling ball and thereby generate an anti-rolling
moment. This anti-rolling effect is only guaranteed when the towing vehicle coupling
head is free of lubricant and other residues. When lubricating the stabiliser ensure that
no lubricant is on the friction pads.
>Check whether the thirteen-pin caravan plug fits into the towing vehicle socket. Should
the designs differ, ask your ERIBA dealer for adaptation possibilities.
>Further information about the AKS stabiliser can be obtained in the separate instruc-
tion manual from AL-KO.

3.3 Caravan Couplings
3.3.1 AL-KO AK 160
The coupling mechanism has an "Open posi-
tion". As long as the caravan coupling is not
placed on top of the implement coupling, the
coupling handle remains open.
Place the open caravan coupling (Fig. 1) on
the towing vehicle caravan ball. The cara-
van coupling now locks automatically and
audibly in place.
In addition, push the coupling handle
(Fig. 1,1) down with your hand (not with
your foot). Closing and securing is carried
out automatically.
Conduct a visual inspection: the green point
on the safety indicator (Fig. 1,2) must be
visible.

>Before connecting, ensure that the ball head of the coupling device is free of dirt and
grease.

3.3.2 AL-KO AKS 1300
Pull up the stabilising lever (Fig. 2,1) as far
as possible.
Turn the handwheel (Fig. 2,2) in an anti-
clockwise direction as far as possible in the
open position.
Pull the coupling handle (Fig. 2,3) upwards.
Place the opened stabiliser on the caravan
ball. The coupling handle must audibly lock
back into its previous position.
In addition, push the coupling handle down-
wards with your hand. Closing and securing
is carried out automatically. Fig. 2 AL-KO AKS 1300 stabiliser
Conduct a visual inspection: the green point on the safety indicator (Fig. 2,4) must be visible.
Turn handwheel in a clockwise direction until it can be felt and heard that the torque limiting
mechanism grates.
Push the stabilising lever down until the marking on the stabilising lever is aligned with that on
the stabilising housing (Fig. 2,5).
3.4 Detaching
Apply the caravan handbrake.
Place the wheel chocks behind both of the wheels.
Remove the plug from the towing vehicle socket and insert it in the retainer which is to be found
on the drawbar.
Remove the brakeaway cable from the towing vehicle.
Lower the jockey wheel until it is firmly positioned on the ground. Now loosen the coupling.
Using the jockey wheel, lift the drawbar until the towing vehicle can be driven away without risk.

There is a risk of accidents and injury when connecting a caravan. Therefore, exer-
cise care when detaching the caravan from the towing vehicle.
Observe the additional safety instructions with respect to connecting included in this
instruction manual.
5 Pitching the Caravan
40 Touring - 03/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 0731070 - HYW-0102-01EN
5.3 Driving in Reverse
As far as all models with an automatic reverse driving mechanism are concerned, the caravan can
be reversed without difficulty. In addition to the rolling resistance, residual braking power must be
taken into account.
5.4 Corner Steadies
In order to stabilise the pitched caravan use the
corner steadies fitted as standard.
With the assistance of the jockey wheel po-
sition the pitched caravan in a horizontal po-
sition. For control purposes use a small spir-
it level.
Fold out the corner steadies after the caravan is
in an absolutely horizontal position.
Place the crank handle provided as stand-
ard on the hexagonal nut (Fig. 9,1) of the
corner steady (Fig. 9,2) and rotate. The cor-
ner steady folds out.
Fig. 9 Corner steady in a folded out position
>Do not use the corner steadies, fitted to the caravan as standard, as a vehicle jack.
The corner steadies are only for stabilising the pitched caravan. The caravan wheels
are not to be raised above the ground.
>When the ground is soft, place a pad or block under the corner steadies in order to
prevent the caravan from sinking into the ground.
