Introduction01-1

Chapter 1: IntroductionOur motor homes are continuously being further developed and for this reason we must reserve the right to make changes to the equipment, shape and technology. Certain kinds of accessories are also described in this user manual that are not part of the standard scope of delivery. For this reason, no claims may be asserted against HOBBY based on the conten-ts of this user manual. Those accessories that are available at the time of going to print are described here. They have been applied on a par for all floor plans. Please note that it was not possible to describe all of the individual variations here. If you have any special questions concerning accessories or the technology of the vehicle, your dealer will be happy to answer them.

1.1 General information Your HOBBY motor home has been built in accordance with the latest technology and approved safety regulations. Despite all precautionary measures, however, it is possible that pas-sengers may be hurt or the motor home damaged if the sa-fety instructions in this user manual and the warning stickers placed throughout the motor home are not observed. Please use the motor home only when it is technically in top condition.

Any defects that affect the safety of passengers or the motor home should be remedied immediately by trained personnel.The brake system and the gas system should only be checked and repaired by an authorised workshop.Please ensure that all of the deadlines for checking equipment and inspections are met.

1.2 Before taking your first drive

Please do not consider this manual to be just a means of refe-rence, but familiarize yourself thoroughly with it before taking your first drive.

Fill out the guarantee cards in the different manuals for the instal-led equipment and fittings and send them to the manufacturers. This will ensure guarantee claims for any of the equipment.

In accordance with guarantee conditions, HOBBY's dealer will give you a 5-year guarantee on the consistency of the motor home. Your dealer will give you a guarantee booklet, “5 Years‘ Guarantee on Consistency“ when you pick up your vehicle.

Note: If a consistency test has not been carried out, you will forfeit any claims for a 5-year guarantee on consistency.

Definition of Masses for Mobile Homes (2007)Throughout Europe, EU Guideline 92/21/EWG is applicable for calculating the masses (weights) and resulting loads for mobile homes. The terms and basis used for calculations are exp-lained below.

1. Technically permissible overall massThe figure for the technically permissible overall mass is ba-sed on information given by the Hobby Mobile Home Plant in cooperation with the manufacturer of the base vehicle. This mass was determined in extensive calculations and tests and, for safety reasons, it may not be exceeded under any circum-stances.

2. Mass when the vehicle is ready to startThe mass when the vehicle is ready to start corresponds to the mass of the empty vehicle including lubricants, tools, spare tyre (and/or repair kit), petrol (100 %), booster battery, all of the standard equipment mounted by the factory as well as 75 kg for the driver, plus basic equipment (gas, water, electric).

3. Basic EquipmentThe basic equipment includes all of the equipment and liquids that are necessary to ensure safe and proper use of the vehicle. This includes the weights of:

Chapter 3: Chassis

3.1 ChassisThe chassis includes parts of the frame and the axles. No technical changes may be made, as otherwise the general type approval will expire!

Technical changes may only be carried out after being

released by the manufacturer.

For further information, please refer to the enclosed ope-

rating instructions for the basic vehicle.

3.2 LoadingThe maximum axle loads as well as the technically permis-

sible overall mass entered in the vehicle‘s documents may

not be exceeded.

4. LoadingLoading corresponds to the difference between the "technically permissible overall mass" and the "mass when the vehicle is rea-dy to start". This value must take into consideration the masses for passengers (conventional load: 75 kg x no. of seats, driver excepted), additional equipment and personal belongings.

The mass when the vehicle is ready to start includes an additi-onal value for liquids and gas, etc. (see basic equipment). Part of this additional value can also be used for additional loads if, for example, you would like to travel with empty water tanks or without gas bottles.

Check to ensure that the masses of all objects transported

in the mobile home have been taken into consideration, e.g.

passengers, additional equipment, basic equipment and

personal belongings such as clothes, food, pets, bicycles,

surfboards, other sport equipment, etc.).

Under no circumstances may the technically permissible

total load be exceeded when the mobile home has been

loaded.

Chassis03-3

5. Reduced load capacity for T 650 to 3500 kg

Before driving, you must open the overflow valve for the fresh water tank.

To reduce the weight when the vehicle is ready to start, the fresh water tank has been fitted out with an overflow valve, located to the right in the seat and marked with a warning sign. Before you begin driving, open the overflow valve. The contents of the fresh water tank will run off until, for weight reasons, only approx. 10 litres are left. When the vehicle is standing, the valve can be closed, allowing you to use the full volume of the tank.A reduced fresh water supply when the vehicle is ready to start has been entered in the vehicle's registration papers. The mo-bile home may only be operated on public roads when the overflow valve is open. The driver is responsible for ensuring that this requirement is fulfilled as well as for observing the technically permissible total weight.

RefrigeratorGrates supply the refrigerator with fresh air from outside to en-sure sufficient refrigerating capacity. The grate for fresh air intake (1) is on the outside wall of the vehicle. The grate for expelling used air (2) is above the grate for fresh air intake.

Danger! You can suffocate if the ventilation openings are

blocked! Never block ventilation openings.

Apply special covers when operating the mobile home in

winter. These covers can be purchased from your dealer.

5.2 Ventilation

The following applies for ventilation:Ventilation is important if you want to feel comfortable in your mobile home. No-draught ventilation has been integrated above the driving unit in your mobile home. The roof lights ensure ven-tilation. Never interfere with the way in which they operate.

Appropriate covers can be used to close the ventilation of the refrigerator, provided it does not run on gas.

Note the information given on the covers. They may only

be used when the refrigerator is operated electrically in

winter. For more information, please refer to the refrigerator

manufacturer‘s operating instructions.

Watery vapour is produced while cooking, from wet clothes,

etc. Every person transpires up to 35 g of water per hour.

Therefore, depending on the relative humidity, the windows

and skylight s must be opened for further ventilation (see

also “Operating in Winter“).

Exterior Structure

05-4

We recommend that you remove the ventilation grate if the

outside temperature is very high. This allows more air to

permeate to the refrigerator, intensifying refrigeration.

Removing the ventilation grate• Turn the screw (3) as far to the left as it will go.• Carefully pull out the ventilation grate, starting on the left.• Then remove the ventilation grate.

HeatingThe heating system is supplied with fresh air from outside (1). This ventilation flap also permits exhaust air from the system to escape.

Danger! You can suffocate if the ventilation openings are

blocked!

Never block ventilation openings.

2 5.5 Condensation in headlight systems

One of the problems often complained about is condensation on tthe outer glass of headlights or rear lights mde of clear glass. This appears after driving in the rain or on cold nights, and is a normal physical process. The expanding warm air is displaced through headlight vents from a lamp that has been turned on. After being turned off, the lamp slowly cools down and moist air from outside permeates inside through the vents. This moisture evaporates in the warm headlight and cools down to become condensation on the outer glass. This process is known as con-densation. After a short drive in dry weather or after the headlight has been on for a brief period a process of evaporation sets in which drys off the condensation. Technically speaking, this process is harmless, because the lamps are protected against any influences from condensation.

Exterior socket

Opening• Take hold of the bottom of the cover flap (1) and pull it up-

wards.

Closing• Remove CEE plug (2).• Push cover flap (1) down until you hear it lock into place.

6.3 Electric power supply

Your mobile home has the following connections for electric power supply:- electric mains (a.c. voltage 230 V)- caravan battery (d.c. voltage 12 V)

Electric power supply from the electric mainsThe 230 V system is protected by a 2-pole circuit breaker with 16 A. The circuit breaker is located behind the driver‘s seat.Should there be a malfunction, the passenger circuit breaker opens the entire 230 V circuit. In most cases, such a malfunction is caused by a defect piece of electric equipment or a defect in its supply line.• Repair the defect before switching the circuit breaker on

again.• If the defect cannot be repaired, consult an experienced

electrician.


Position of the battery chargerThe battery charger is located in the driver's seat.

Operating with 230 V electric mainsAfter switching on the master switch on the HOBBY on-board control panel, the caravan battery will be charged by the battery charger in the mobile home.

Fresh water

Electric mains 230 V

The following applies for the electric mains:• the power supply lead may not be longer than 25 m.

If you are using a cable drum without protection against

overheating, the electric cable must be completely unwound

from the cable drum.

• Use only plugs and cables that meet CEE standards.• First, make the connection to the main socket (1) of the

vehicle.• Then insert the other plug in the live socket.• Follow this sequence in reverse when you pull out the

plug.

6.4 Function of the power generating unit

Charging procedureThe charging procedure is dependent on the battery voltage of the caravan battery:- Charge until the battery voltage has reached 14.4 V.- Switch off the battery charger until the battery voltage has

sunk to 13.8 V.- Recharge when the battery voltage sinks below 13.8 V.- Make a parallel connection and charge the engine battery as

well as the caravan battery when the battery voltage sinks below 13.5 V.

– Separate the engine battery and the caravan battery when the joint battery voltage sinks below 12.5 V.


The battery voltage of both the engine battery and the cara-

van battery can be checked continuously on the on-board

control panel located above the entrance door.

The battery charger only works if the batteries have been

inserted with their poles in the right direction.

A discharged caravan requires a charging period of approx.

12 hours on the electric mains to completely recharge itself.

This charging period must be extended accordingly if equip-

ment that uses 12 V is switched on at the same time.

Protection against total dischargeIf the battery voltage of the caravan battery sinks below 10.5 V, a relay shuts down all the equipment that uses voltage.

If the protection against total discharge takes effect, turn

off the 12 V master switch to avoid an additional discharge

of the caravan battery.

Function of the battery charger

Protecting the deviceIf the battery charger should become hot because of high en-vironmental temperatures or high charging currents, a built-in thermal switch turns off the battery charger until the temperature in the battery charger has dropped again.

Checklist• Turn off the motor.• Turn off the mains switch on the battery charger.• Connect the battery charger to the mains supply.• Switch on the 12 V master switch.• Turn off all equipment (except refrigerator) that uses 12 V.• Turn on the mains switch on the battery charger.

The voltage of the caravan battery must rise to a maximum voltage of 14.4 V.

If this does not happen after using the built-in battery charger to charge the battery, check the following:• Has the battery charger been properly attached to the net-

work?• Is the mains fuse of the battery charger functioning proper-

ly?


Operation when the motor is runningAs soon as the motor is running, a relay connects the starter battery and the caravan battery in parallel. The D+ signal sits close to the dynamo. Therefore, the dynamo charges both batteries. If the D+ signal no longer sits close to the dynamo, the two batteries will be separated from each other again. In this way, the starter battery cannot be discharged by equipment in the caravan.The 12 V supply for the refrigerator only functions when you are driving. If the motor has stopped, the 12 V operation of the refrigerator is automatically turned off again.

To charge a discharged caravan battery optimally while

driving, disconnect the 12 V operation of the refrigerator and

turn off as much equipment as possible that uses 12 V.

Checklist• Turn off the motor.• Switch on the 12 V master switch.• Turn off all equipment that uses 12 V.• Start the motor.

• Is the battery voltage of the battery charger above 1 volt?• Have the poles of the caravan battery been attached pro-

perly?• Is the connection between the battery charger and the on-

board control panel functioning properly?

The voltage of the caravan battery must rise if- the engine speed is above the idling speed,- the vehicle‘s battery is not completely discharged.

If this does not happen after using the dynamo to charge the battery, check the following:

• Is the fuse in the supply line to the vehicle‘s battery functio-ning properly near the vehicle‘s battery?

• Have the poles of the caravan battery been attached properly to the battery charger?

• Is the fuse in the supply line to the “D+“ signal functioning properly near the vehicle‘s battery?

• Is the “D+“ signal sitting close to the battery charger? There must be a voltage of 12 V here when the motor is running.

• Is the connection between the battery charger and the on-board control panel functioning properly?

Operation by means of a 12 V caravan batteryAll of the equipment is automatically supplied from the caravan battery if the mobile home is standing still without a 230 V mains supply and with its engine turned off. The 12 V master switch must be switched on.


The caravan battery should only be allowed to discharge to

a voltage of 11 V. At this point, you should ensure that it is

recharged from the dynamo or from public supply.

6.5 Caravan battery

Location- Under the driver's seat, in the double bottom or in a separate

compartment that is externally accessible, depending on the

floor plan.

Features- The battery does not require maintenance. It does not need

to be refilled with water.- The battery is closed off and cannot leak.- The battery is cycle-proof, making it especially suitable

for the supply of the board network. Several discharging/charging operations are possible.

Use only the same kind of batteries when exchanging the

battery (same capacity and voltage, cycle-proof, mainte-

nance-free and leakproof).

Changing the battery

• Please do not smoke when changing the battery.• Disconnect the connection to the 230 V network.• First, disconnect the minus (-) connector.• Then disconnect the plus (+) connector.• Remove the battery.• Insert the new battery.• Use the reverse sequence to connect the new battery.

The solution of electrolytes contained in the battery is poi-

sonous and corrosive! Protect your eyes and face whenever

handling the battery.

If your skin or eyes come into contact with this solution,

wash immediately with lots of clear water.

Keep open flames or equipment that gives off sparks away

from the battery. Danger! Explosive!

Subsequently installed electronic devices that can be used while driving (e.g. mobile phones, wireless equipment, radios, came-ras for driving in reverse, navigation equipment, or others) must meet all of the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility. Such equipment must have been approved in accordance with EU Guideline 72/245/EWG as it appears in version 95/54/EG, because otherwise it may cause interference with the electronic systems already installed in the mobile home.

A CE mark is mandatory for devices that have been subsequent-ly installed and which cannot be used while driving.

13.2 Inflation pressures

* These inflation pressures are only valid for standard tires by alternative manufacturers. In principle, we try to equip all ve-hicles with “Michelin Camping“ tires. In times of high demand, however, Michelin is unable to fulfil all demands. In this case, alternative brands are mounted, e.g. Pirelli.

Calculating masses for HOBBY mobile homes

The following table enables you to calculate the mass of your own mobile home on the basis of the mass data given in this manual.

This calculation must always result in a positive remaining load in order to fulfil current legal requirements.

To determine your remaining load, simply subtract the "mass when the vehicle is ready to start", the "conventional load", all "additional

equipment" as well as your "personal luggage" from the "technically permissible overall mass". Simply enter the date for your personal

mobile home in the table on the next page. If you have any questions or if anything is unclear, your HOBBY dealer will be pleased

to assist you.
