Hi, I've just bought a 30 year old Pennine Clubman folding camper, can anyone help with a manual for this please. I'm especially interested in the wiring as I'd like to connect a battery.
Thanks in advance.

The Pennine manuals of the time were very generic, and not model specific. If you have a look at the Pennine Clubman Model Details there is a manual link on there. It's for a slightly newer manual, but may be of some use. The web site is still not fully fixed, after a recent crash, so ignore the toolbar issues, as all the main data etc is ok.

Thank you Blue Sky Pennine for your reply. I have downloaded the manual, but this camper doesn't have control panel, just a connection block with one black and one red wire. It does have some 12v sockets and has been wired with 240v sockets, although these are, as yet, untested. I have made new bedroom pods,
getting a towbar fitted next week and am excited to be going on an 'overnight' test on a local campsite.
The older models, even as late as the late 90's were very random in their electrics. I have a '97 Sterling, and the electrics bear no resemblance to the manual, whatsoever, so I wouldn't worry about that too much. Enjoy your first trip. I've just, today, purchased a 1964 Apache Raven trailer tent, so looking forward to getting that all set up and christened on her first camping trip.

I thought I'd give a quick update.
So far, I have had the camper away twice, the first time with the scouts where I used it purely to sleep in, the weather gave it a good try out with heavy rain and gale force winds and apart from a few drops that could have been condensation it remained dry inside.
The second outing was a spur of the moment thing when I'd just finished the second enclosed bed-pod and the glorious weather enticed a last minute booking. I'm pleased to say the water, gas and electrics work well and we (me, husband and 2 dogs) have had a lovely couple of days away in Yorkshire.
I have noticed 2 small areas where I think it might need reproofing, but as a novice, I'm not really sure - should I wait until I actually see water come in or act now? Any advice greatly appreciated.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
