Top Tips For Winter

Every year we are asked by our customers if we can give any suggestions for preparing for winter so we have decided to put our top tips on here for you.

1. Open up all of your taps and completely drain down your water system. This will help you avoid frost damage to any shower or tap units which can become an expensive fix before the new season. Systems such as the Floe drain down kits can help with this.

2. Open up cupboards, internal doors and tip cushions on end. This allows air to circulate more evenly around the caravan which in turn reduces the chances of damp.

3. Use dehumidifiers through your van. These, along with opening cupboards etc, will help reduce damp and soak up any moisture still lingering.

4. Disconnect your battery and bench charge it to maintain your battery until needed again. If you have a tracker fitted ensure you have a spare, fully charged battery to alternate with your main one. This way you will never be without your tracker.

5. Using products such as Fenwicks Overwintering allows you to put a protective coating on your caravan or motorhome during the winter months. This helps avoid dirt and algae forming on your caravan. Alternatively why not look at using a Caravan Cover to fully protect your unit.

6. Secure your unit!!!! Nothing is more important than making sure your caravan or motorhome is safe during winter. There are a number of methods including using hitch locks, wheel locks, trackers and winter wheels. The more security devices you use the better just remember to look for the Sold Secure rating to ensure it is recognised by your insurance provider.
