Frequently Asked Questions - Basecamp (2018) Swift
How do I level the caravan?
Use a spirit level on the floor or countertop. Place ramps under the wheels on the low side. Adjust the corner steadies for stability but do not lift the wheels off the ground.
What is the maximum towing speed?
The recommended towing speed is 80 km/h (50 mph) on motorways and 50 km/h (30 mph) on other roads. Always adhere to local regulations.
How do I winterize the water system?
Drain the fresh and waste water tanks. Remove the water pump and store it warm. Open all taps to let water out. Add antifreeze to the system following the product instructions.
What type of gas is used for the cooker/heater?
The Basecamp uses propane or butane gas via a regulator. Use a 6kg or 7kg gas cylinder. Ensure the regulator is compatible and check for leaks annually.
How do I connect the caravan to site electricity?
Use the supplied 16A blue commando cable. Plug one end into the caravan inlet and the other into the site bollard. Check the polarity with a tester before switching on the master switch.
What is the recommended tire pressure?
For the Basecamp 2018, the recommended tire pressure is 4.5 bar (65 psi) for solo towing. Adjust for load. Check pressures at least every trip.
How do I set up the roll-out awning?
Wind out the awning using the handle until it reaches the desired length. Adjust the leg heights and tighten the handwheels. Peg the side arms to the ground for stability.
Where is the fuse box located?
The fuse box is located under the front seat on the offside. It contains fuses for the 12V lighting, water pump, and auxiliary circuits. Use automotive blade fuses.
How do I clean the exterior?
Use a mild caravan shampoo and a soft brush or sponge. Avoid abrasives. Rinse thoroughly with water. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated caravan cleaner. Waxing twice a year is recommended.
