Tribute/Imala welcomes you to the ranks of

Tribute/Imala owners.

This handbook has been designed to enable

you to derive the maximum benefit and

enjoyment from your motorhome;

its information will be beneficial to

experienced and new motorhomers alike.

Thank you for deciding to buy one of our

motorhomes and welcome to the ranks of

Auto-Trail owners.

This handbook has been designed to enable

you to derive the maximum benefit from your

motorhome; it’s information will be beneficial to

both experienced and new motorhomers alike.

The information contained in this handbook is

intended to give you a general guide as to the

care, use and maintenance of your vehicle. We

would advise you to read all of the individual

appliance instructions that will be found in the

information wallet supplied with your vehicle

prior to using them for the first time.

Your motorhome is designed to give many

years of use as a leisure purpose vehicle

and not as a permanent residence.

Regular maintenance however will not only

ensure trouble free service, but will also

enhance your vehicles value.

Your supplying dealer is responsible for all

aspects of your customer care. We would

suggest that you make a note of the dealers

name and contact information in the dedicated

space in the front of this handbook as this

would speed up the process of answering any

queries you may have.

Should you require assistance, your supplying

dealer is fully conversant with the correct

procedures that should be followed to get any

issues resolved in a timely manner.

For total piece of mind all Auto-Trail vehicles are

supplied with a comprehensive warranty. Please

ensure that your supplying dealer has fully

explained all aspects of the terms and

conditions of your vehicle warranty and the

necessary servicing requirements.

Your vehicle should be supplied with two vehicle

handbooks, the habitation handbook and the

base vehicle handbook. Please refer to the base

vehicle handbook for matters relating to the

motorhome as a road going vehicle (e.g.

lubricant levels, service intervals etc…).

odifications To Your Vehicle

Please check with your supplying dealer before

carrying out any modifications to your vehicle.

Any unauthorised modifications carried out by

a third party could affect the terms of your

warranty agreement.

We would always advise that you consult your

dealer before any additional equipment is fitted

to your vehicle to ensure the appropriate fixing

support is available.

Appliance aintenance

In the interest of safety, replacement parts for

an appliance shall conform to the appliance

manufacturers specifications, and should be

fitted by him or his authorised agent.

In troduction

Ow ne rs H an db oo k

Loading Your Vehicle

All models manufactured by Tribute are of

a well balanced design, the most common

causes of poor stability include:

• Poor weight distribution of the weight inside

the vehicle.

• Incorrect tyre pressure (always adhere to

the tyre pressures stated in the chassis

manufacturers handbook. Always inflate

to the ‘fully laden’ condition).

Try to load heavy items down near the floor of

the vehicle, between the axles and as evenly

as possible side to side.

We would recommend that the table is stored

on the floor between the beds if there is no

dedicated storage position.

Where a dedicated storage position is

available, the table should be retained in this

position whilst the vehicle is in motion.

Roof Bars

Your vehicle may be fitted with roof side styling

bars, these bars are not suitable for carrying

any load. Should you wish to fit a roof rack

please contact your supplying dealer who will

be able to supply you with the relevant

information.

Please be advised that the maximum weight

that should be carried on the roof is 40kg

Please be aware that in certain

conditions the aluminium roof may

become very slippery, please take

extreme care should you choose

to walk on the vehicle roof.

Bicycle Carrier (If Fitted)

Tribute recommends that if a bicycle carrier

is fitted to your vehicle it should be capable of

carrying no more than two cycles.

Never exceed the maximum authorised weight

that should be specified on the carrier.

Tow Bars

Auto-Trail only recommends the fitting of

bespoke Witter tow-bars to our vehicles

(where applicable). These are the only

tow-bars that Auto-Trail have tested and

obtained European Type Approval for.

Should you choose to fit any other tow-bar

it is your responsibility to ensure that you do

not contravene any road traffic regulations.

Preparing For The Road

aximum Loading Of Your Vehicle

The weights of your vehicle are stated in the back

of this handbook and on the secondary weight

plate located in the engine bay of your vehicle.

The secondary weight plate gives the

following information.

The serial number of your vehicle which should

be quoted in any correspondence with your

supplying dealer.

• The maximum authorised weight of

your vehicle which must never be exceeded

when the vehicle is loaded and in use.

• The gross train weight of your vehicle.

This is the maximum combined weight of the

actual motorhome fully loaded to its maximum

authorised weight, plus the allowance for a

trailer. The weight of the loaded motorhome

and trailer must never exceed the gross train

weight quoted on the weight plate.

• ‘1’ is the maximum authorised weight for the

individual front axle

• ‘2’ is the maximum authorised weight for the

individual rear axle.

• ‘3’ is the maximum authorised weight of the

individual third axle (only used on twin rear

axle models).

Please note that if you add both maximum

authorised axle weights together it will

normally give you a larger figure than the

maximum authorised weight ( AW) –

please be aware that the aximum

authorised weight ( AW) must never

be exceeded.

Please take care to ensure that you have allowed

for the masses of all items you intend to carry in

the motorhome. e.g. passengers, optional

equipment, essential habitation equipment and

personal effects such as clothing, food, pets,

bicycles, sailboards, sports equipment, etc.
