4. Blinds

The vehicle is equipped with privacy curtains on the rear window, side windows, and between the front and back cab. These blinds can be rolled up when not in use.

5. 12-volt electrical system

Your vehicle has two batteries:

• Engine battery - located under the bonnet.
• Domestic battery - located in the rear of the cabin.

The domestic battery operates the water pump, esky, and rear interior light. It is charged by the alternator when the vehicle is being driven.

You can check the voltage of the 12-volt battery using the voltage reader on the side of the bed.

Important: It is recommended that the vehicle is driven for 4–6 hours a day so the domestic battery continues to power the 12-volt system.

6. Fresh water tank

The freshwater tank is located in the rear of the vehicle, in the kitchen area.

To fill the freshwater tank:

1. Flip up the compartment marked "fresh water only" - located next to the gas cooker at the rear of the vehicle.
2. Place the end of the water hose into the tank and connect the hose to the tap. Turn on the tap to fill with fresh water.

Important tips:

• Do not use too much pressure - the tank must be vented while filling.
• If you get an air bubble, remove the hose, reinsert it, and fill slowly again.
• The tank is full when water starts to overflow from the water inlet.

7. Grey water

Any water that goes down your sink will come out of the left side of the rear undercarriage of the vehicle.

8. Portable gas stove

The vehicle is equipped with a portable butane gas stove, found in the kitchen compartments inside a black carry case.

	2. Open the cartridge cover.
	3. Turn the ignition knob to OFF and set the cartridge lock lever to UNLOAD.
	4. Slide the gas cartridge into the compartment, top end first, with its notch facing up. 5. Align the cartridge collar notch with the locator tab on the gas cooker. 6. Push and turn the knob anticlockwise past the OFF position until a click is heard.

Note: If the burner fails to light, immediately turn the ignition knob to the OFF position and try again.

Controlling the flame: Turn the ignition knob between HIGH and LOW.

To shut off:

10. Fridge

The fridge operates via the 12-volt system. To operate the fridge, ensure that it is plugged in and the green light on the side of the fridge is illuminated.
