3. Chassis
You will only achieve optimum driving stability and decisively incre-
ase your safety on the road if the drawbar load has been properly
adjusted for your combination of base vehicle and the caravan being
pulled. The drawbar load indicates the power the caravan's drawbar
exerts on the car's clutch.
Rules for the drawbar load:
Set the drawbar load correctly! You can, for example, use nor-
mal bathroom scales: use a strip of wood (approx. 400mm long)
to position them vertically under the coupling jaw. It may also
be possible to roughly estimate the drawbar load by means
of the drawbar load scales*
m
integrated in the front landing
wheel, whereby the drawbar of the caravan must be in a hori-
zontal position.
Always check the drawbar load before you start to drive!
The specied drawbar load (see handbook or type plate) and
the permissible overall mass of the base vehicle and the cara-
van may not be exceeded!

3.3.2 Drawbar load
How to adjust the correct drawbar load:
1. Determine the maximum drawbar load of your base vehicle
by checking its documentation, the type plate or the drawbar
plate.
2. The maximum permissible drawbar load for your HOBBY
camper is 100 kg (up to 2,000 kg technically permissible
maximum weight) or 150 kg (over 2,000 kg technically
permissible maximum weight).
3. Adjust the drawbar load on the caravan to the lower of the two
values by loading it carefully. At the same time, try to make full
use of this value.
4. The lower of the two specied values for the drawbar load,
i.e. that of the base vehicle or
the caravan, may not be exceeded.
3.3.3 Denition of masses
for the camper
EU Directive 1230/2012 applies at a European level for calculating
the masses (weights) and resultant additional loads for campers.
The terms and basic calculation elements used in this description
are explained in the following:
1. Gross vehicle weight rating (g.v.w.r.)
The indication of the gross vehicle weight rating is taken directly
from the HOBBY factory. This mass takes into account the specic
operating conditions that are based on the model of the camper and
its performance, including such factors as material strength, load-
carrying capacity of the axles and tyres, etc. For safety reasons, this
mass must never be exceeded!
2. Mass in running order
The mass when ready to drive is equal to the weight of the standard
vehicle including all of the standard equipment installed by the factory
plus all of the equipment and liquids that are required for the secure
and correct use of the vehicle. This includes the following masses:
