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
