Interstate One Handover: A Practical Guide to Using Your Motorhome with Confidence

Picking up your new motorhome is an exciting moment – and if you’re anything like most Interstate One owners, there’s a good chance you were too excited during handover to remember every detail. That’s exactly why Dave from Adelaide RV put together the Interstate One Handover walkthrough, and why we’ve turned it into this practical, easy-to-follow guide.

Whether you’re a new owner or researching your first motorhome, this blog will walk you through the key systems, features, and day-to-day usage of the Interstate One – so you can hit the road with confidence.

Interstate One Handover: External Setup & Utilities

Just like a caravan, the Interstate One is designed to make setup simple and intuitive. At the rear of the motorhome, you’ll find:

• Mains water inlet and grey water outlet located close together for easy hookup
• Grey water tank for free camping compliance
• 240V power inlet for caravan parks or home power

The toilet cassette operates exactly like a caravan cassette toilet. Use the orange release lever, empty it as required, and remember to leave the vent open while emptying. Cleanliness matters here – the cleaner it is, the nicer it is to use.

Hot Water System (Truma Ultra Rapid)

The Interstate One uses a Truma Ultra Rapid 14L hot water system, chosen for its compact size and fast heating. When free camping:

• Remove the external gas cover before lighting
• Gas mode heats to ~70°C, electric mode ~60°C
• If the cover is left on, the system will not ignite on gas

This is a small detail that makes a big difference – one of the most important tips from the Interstate One Handover.

Outdoor Living Made Easy

The Interstate One shines when it comes to outdoor functionality. You’ll find:

• External hot & cold shower (perfect for beach days)
• Gas bayonet for BBQs
• 240V and 12V outlets
• TV antenna point for outdoor viewing

Awning Setup

Using the awning hook:

• Wind the awning out to a workable height
• Drop the arms into the wall saddles or peg them to the ground
• Tension lightly and adjust height
• Close the entry door before winding in or out

In minutes, you’ve created a shaded outdoor living space – easy, quick, and stress-free.

Inside the Interstate One: Power, Water, & Comfort

Redarc RedVision System

At the heart of the motorhome is the RedVision screen, which shows:

• Battery percentage & estimated days remaining
• Fresh and grey water levels
• Solar input and system status

From here you can:

• Turn the water pump, TV, and fridge on/off
• Enter storage mode for long-term parking
• Adjust battery profiles (with professional advice)

If you’re on mains water at a caravan park, leave the pump off. If free camping, turn it on and run the hot tap before use – same rules as a caravan.

Interstate One Handover: Kitchen, Bathroom & Living Space

Caravan Fridge/Freezer

The large Thetford fridge is designed for motorhome travel:

• Lockable travel latch
• Separate fridge and freezer temperature control
• Quiet operation while driving

Pro tip: chill the fridge before departure and secure loose items to avoid rattles.

Combo Shower & Toilet

The bathroom setup is familiar for caravan owners:

• Cassette toilet with electric flush
• Detachable shower head
• Exhaust fan for ventilation

One important tip from Dave: be mindful of the shower controls – catching the handle mid-use can lead to an unexpected shower!

Driver & Navigator Roles: A Smarter Way to Remember

A standout part of the Interstate One Handover is Dave’s “driver vs navigator” logic:

• Navigator side: fuel, AdBlue, toolkit, jack, bonnet release
• Driver side: driving, mirrors, cameras, seating position

Both front seats fully rotate and are highly adjustable. Take time before driving to:

• Set seat height, lean, armrests
• Adjust steering wheel reach
• Position mirrors (engine must be running)

The reverse camera and rear vision screen provide excellent visibility – but get familiar with them before hitting the road.

Final Interstate One Handover Tips Before You Travel

• Shut and lock all doors and windows before bed
• Close night blinds (unless you enjoy a 4am wake-up call)
• Never drive with blinds closed
• Clean your windscreen before long drives – less glare, less fatigue
• Above all, treat your motorhome like your home. Keep it clean, understand where everything lives, and the Interstate One will reward you with years of reliable adventure.
