Thanks - very helpful.

What is the best thing to do with the battery in the winter - our 'van is going into storage this year for the first time. Should we take the battery off and keep in the garage with an occasionaly charge, or just leave it on? Thanks

Don't bother with specialist products - just use baby wipes, they get anything off the caravan (don't know what they do to a baby!!). Seriously though, they are extremely effective and very cheap in Poundland (obviously

Thanks - will give it a go!!

Our breathable awning carpet is very muddy from a couple of wet holidays. We have tried everything to clean it including jet washing. Any ideas welcome please!!

Thanks for all these answers. Just a note, I don't think people trip the switch from selfishness particularly, probably they are like us,quite new to caravanning and not quite sure of things yet ..... still we are learning new things all the time.

Yes - we are with you on this except we do like a coffe with our late night brandy!!
