Caravan Winter Essentials

Winterising your caravan

To winterise your caravan, don't forget to:

• Clean: Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the caravan.
• Remove belongings: Take away all personal items, especially valuables.
• Drain: Drain the water system and water heater. You can also drain the toilet.
• Disconnect: Disconnect and store the battery. Remove gas bottles and store them in a cool, ventilated place.
• Protect: Protect the pipes and tanks. You can also use a protective coating on the bodywork.
• Ventilate: Maintain airflow and prevent condensation. You can leave cupboard doors open and tilt the caravan slightly to encourage water to run off the roof.
• Cover: Consider fitting a breathable caravan cover or winter covers to the fridge.
• Secure: Lock all windows and vents, and close all curtains and blinds.
• Check: Check tire pressures and check seals. Periodically check your caravan.
  

You should also check your manufacturer's or supplier's instructions, site rules, and your insurance.
