first time out since november

[josh1]

hi everyone
well were off in the caravan soon, its the first time since end of november so im just wondering if theres anything we should do when we get there other than giving it a good clean and a good airing

its probably a bit of a newb question but we only brought the caravan in september so didnt get out in it much being the end of the season

cheers everyone

Check the tyre pressures before you set off, check for any water ingress and make sure that everything works when you get there.......... oh, and don't forget the bottle opener / corkscrew

 

[josh1]

ideal, so just carry on as usual then

thanks

Hi josh
The only other thing I would do, if you didn't do it in the autumn, would be to sterilise the water system
If you don't know how to do this, there are plenty of previous postings on this forum on this subject
Best wishes
Catherine

Have a look at the tyres and check the pressure.

Ooops Parksy has already suggested this. Don't forget to take tea towels. (Very inconvenient if you do)

Don't do what we did on our first outing of the year in February and leave your bag of clothes at home! Luckily we were only 30 min from home so legged it back the next morning.

You legged it home? Did you pull the van there by hand?
