Troubleshooting Tips for the Rain Sensing Hatch: Peregrine & Sojourn

Optimise the use of your Rain Sensing Hatch for Maximum Comfort and Efficiency

Caravan enthusiasts looking to explore rugged off-road terrain often opt for Zone RV's off-road caravans, which come equipped with a range of innovative features to ensure a comfortable and safe journey. One such feature is the rain sensing hatch in the bathroom, which automatically closes to prevent water from entering the caravan during unexpected rain. In this article, we will discuss how to troubleshoot common issues with Zone RV's rain sensing hatch and optimise its usage for an enjoyable off-road caravan experience.

Troubleshooting Tips for Zone RV's Rain Sensing Hatch

  1. Check the LED Light: Zone RV's rain sensing hatch comes equipped with an LED light that indicates its mode. Ensure that the blue light is flashing, which indicates that the hatch is in rain-sensing mode. If it is not flashing, reset the hatch by turning it off and on again.

  2. Ensure Power Supply is Connected:
    The hatch controls on your Zone RV off-road caravan allow you to open and close the hatch and adjust the fan speed. If the hatch is not opening or closing, check if the power supply is turned on via your RedVision display and that the control panel is working correctly.

  3. Understand the Function of each Hatch Control:
    Use the power button to open/close the hatch with running fan.
    Ensure that the hatch is fully open before adjusting the fan speed.
    The reverse button changes airflow direction.
    If you want just the hatch open with no fan, from a closed position use the hatch open/hatch closed buttons only. 

  4. Check the Micro Open Feature: The micro open feature allows you to open the hatch slightly during rain without letting water in. If the micro open feature is not working correctly, check if the hatch is clean and free from debris that could be obstructing its function.

  5. Leave the Rain Unlock Button Locked: While the rain unlock button on Zone RV's rain sensing hatch is designed to override the rain sensing technology, it is recommended to leave it locked to ensure the hatch closes automatically during unexpected rain. If your Rain Unlock button is activated the blue light will be solid, rather than flashing. To reset the override, please turn power off and on again.

In conclusion, Zone RV's rain sensing hatch is an excellent feature that adds to the convenience and comfort of their off-road caravan. To ensure optimal functioning, it is essential to troubleshoot any issues that may arise. By following the troubleshooting tips mentioned above, you can optimise the usage of your Zone RV's rain sensing hatch and enjoy a comfortable and safe off-road caravanning experience.
