Prepare your caravan for winter
Our suggestions
Here is a list of topics to consider
Water - book a winter drain down with the park for £120 to include reconnection in March + non toxic anti-freeze in toilets and a guarantee we will repair free of charge any frost damage in the period after drain down and before reconnection. Drain downs will take place in the first two weeks of December and reconnections at your request - or by Easter.
If you have a Floe auto drain down kit please use non toxic anti-freeze.
We can supply at £3 per pint
Electric and gas - leave both switched on. The boiler needs this to fire up to protect itself from frost if necessary
Security - take valuables home and ensure all doors and windows are securely fastened and locked
Moisture - leave salt in bowls in each room to absorb moisture. Arrange all fabrics away from windows and store mattresses on their sides. Free up all ventilation grills.
Fridge and freezer - clean shelves and leave doors open and electricity switched off
Gutters and drain pipes - clear all fallen leaves etc from your roof, gutters and drain pipes
Decking area and garden - place indoors any garden furniture or similar to prevent wind/ storm damage

OVER and above all other considerations please remember to turn off your outside water tap when leaving your caravan - especially between October and March
