Quick Start

This is your go-to checklist when you pull into a campsite. Follow these steps in order and you’ll be set up fast.

Before you unhitch

Always level and stabilize the camper before running water.

Step 1 — Pull in and position

1. Pull into your site and align with hookup pedestal on the driver’s side.
2. Put your tow vehicle in park, set the parking brake.

Step 2 — Level the camper

1. Check the bubble level inside the camper (above the door frame).
2. Use leveling blocks under the tires as needed — side-to-side first, then front-to-back.
3. Once level, lower the tongue jack until the trailer is off the hitch ball.
4. Drop the stabilizer jacks at all four corners — snug, not load-bearing.

Tip

The Aurora 16BHX does not have auto-leveling. Use a stack of Lynx blocks or a leveling ramp under the low-side tires.

Step 3 — Unhitch

1. Disconnect the safety chains.
2. Unplug the 7-pin trailer connector.
3. Disconnect the breakaway cable.
4. Raise the ball mount and drive the tow vehicle forward.

Step 4 — Connect shore power

1. Locate the 30-amp power pedestal at your site.
2. Plug in the 30-amp cord (stored in the front pass-through compartment).
3. Flip the pedestal breaker on.
4. Check the power converter light inside — it should be green.

Step 5 — Connect water

1. Attach your drinking water hose (white hose) to the city water inlet on the driver’s side.
2. Turn on the campsite water spigot slowly.
3. Check for leaks at the connection.

Step 6 — Light the propane (if needed)

1. Open the propane tank valves (turn counter-clockwise).
2. Check the gauge — green = good.
3. The furnace, water heater, and stove all run on propane.

Step 7 — You’re set up

• Turn on the water heater (allow 20–30 min to heat).
• Set the thermostat for heat or A/C.
• Enjoy.

Teardown order (reverse)

When it’s time to leave, reverse the setup:

1. Raise stabilizer jacks
2. Disconnect water hose
3. Disconnect shore power
4. Hitch up the trailer
5. Connect 7-pin, safety chains, breakaway cable
6. Do a walk-around — check jacks are up, compartments closed, lights working
