General Safety Introduction

WARNING–Before using this product you should read this manual,

and those manuals supplied by component manufacturers applicable to

this product.

This manual is supplied as a reference to required maintenance of your new Austrack Campers

Hybrid offroad camper.

Failure to use and maintain the product in accordance with what is outlined in thismanual may affect

your warranty.

Incorrect and/or insufficient maintenance may cause product failure resulting in property loss,

damage or injury or death.

Maintenance intervals are critical for normal use; extreme use may require shorter or additional

maintenance intervals. See Maintenance Schedule for more details.

This manual content does not imply, express or other any warranty, the owner should read the

Warranty T&C’s included in this manual.

Before using this product, you need to be certain that 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 Hybrid camper is fitted with electric brakes and a “Breakaway System”. Requirements for

breakaway systems can vary from state to state. The breakaway battery draws its charge from the

house battery system of the Hybrid. See Braking Systems section for more details.

Austrack Campers reserves the right to modify an advertised component (e.g., air conditioning unit,

stove, inverter) with an item of similar value and quality, due to supply and availability. In order to

fulfill orders, all Austrack Campers are subject to change at Austrack's discretion.

Weight Explanations

GCM Gross Combination Mass. The weight of your fully loaded vehicle and fully loaded trailer when

hitched together.

GVM Gross Vehicle Mass. This is the weight of your fully loaded vehicle.

TARE The weight of the vehicle or trailer without water, fuel or any cargo.

ATM Aggregate Trailer Mass. The maximum your trailer can weigh fully loaded.

GTM Gross Trailer Mass. The maximum weight on the axle when fully loaded.

TBM Tow Ball Mass. The weight exerted on the vehicle when hitched. This weight transfers to your

vehicle when hitched and becomes a part of the vehicles GVM.

GCM = ATM + GVM

ATM = TBM + GTM

Payload = ATM –TARE

Your Vehicle’s towing capacity is the maximum weight your vehicle can legally and safely pull when

towing, however it is also crucial to know the Gross Combination Mass allowed by the towing vehicle.

State laws regulate all towing requirements, including speed limits. It's crucial to understand and

adhere to towing capacity limits for several reasons.

Exceeding these limits is both dangerous and against the law. It also places undue stress on your

vehicle's brakes and components, leading to damage and wear. Furthermore, an overweight vehicle

usually isn't covered by insurance.

When it comes to towing your camper, one of the most critical factors to consider is the tow ball

weight. This often-overlooked aspect of towing can significantly impact your safety and the handling

of your camper on the road.

A general rule of thumb is that the tow ball weight should be around 9-11% of the loaded camper's

total weight. For example, if your loaded camper weighs 3,000 kg, your ideal tow ball weight should

be between 270 kg (9%) and 330 kg (11%).

Load Distribution

When heading away on your next big adventure 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 optimum ball weight on

a caravan is between 9% and 11% of the total caravan weight.

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 property damage and/or serious injury or

death.

• Always load both sides of the caravan evenly

• Load heavy items low and directly over the axle.

• Secure all items to prevent damage to the caravan during travel.

• Consider water tank levels and how they may affect the balance front and back and the percentage

of ball weight.

• Overhead cupboards should only be used for lightweight items such as clothes, personal items,

bedding etc.

• Never store heavy items in overhead cupboards.

• Heavy cooking equipment should be stored in lower cupboards.

• Tinned and bottled food for cooking etc. should be stored in the pantry drawer.

• Never load in a manner that causes the ball weight to exceed the limit of the tow vehicle.

Electrical System

Battery Management System

The Tanami is equipped with the Redarc Manager30 Battery Management System (BMS). The

Manager30 operates like 6 separate products, it charges an auxiliary battery from the vehicle while

on the move, it’s a 240 V charger, a MPPT solar regulator, a battery isolator, a load disconnect

controller, all with a remote battery monitor. This is wired into the Tanami so that you do not need

to change the charging source, the BMS will always prioritise the solar charging, and top up from the

other inputs if available and required.

Batteries

The Tanami is fitted with 4 x 100 Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries. These batteries have an

integrated BMS to prevent accidental damage to the batteries. Included is an activation cable, should

the battery become discharged at or below 10 V, connect the hybrid to a power source and press the

button on the activation cable to awaken the batteries. It is only required to activate one battery,

and this will awaken both.

When the hybrid is placed into storage, it is important to ensure that there is a power source

connected, either from mains 240 V or solar. The Redarc Manager30 BMS can be put into storage

mode to ensure that the batteries are maintained. It is still important to check the battery condition

on a regular basis, especially if relying on solar to maintain the charge. If the hybrid is under shelter

or has a fitted cover, an external power source will be required to maintain the power to the batteries.

Even with the control panel turned off, there will be power draw on the batteries.

Solar

There is 600W of solar standard on the Tanami. This is mounted on the roof of the hybrid and is

connected to the MPPT solar regulator connection of the Redarc Manager30 BMS. This will

automatically begin charging when the panel is exposed to solar radiation. Whilst 600 W of solar is

generally more than sufficient to supply enough power to the batteries for normal usage, there will

be times that an external panel will need to be connected to maintain the battery voltage. Shade

from trees or cloud cover can greatly affect the performance of the solar panels. Excessive use of the

inverter or running extra fridge/freezers will also draw more current than the solar can replace each

day.
