Winter Hibernation

[borderbilly]

Well that's the Lunar nearly all ready for hibernation, water lines all blown out, soft furnishings all lifted up, fridge all cleaned out and door left ajar, cassette stripped down and in shed, just need to remove battery. Have you done yours 🤔

Next week the leisure battery comes out replaced with the old Kia battery for alarm and lights etc when I visit during the winter

Yes similar to you lifted everything up and open all cupboards doors and fridge door ajar, open all taps /shower and the gas bottle is in the garage the onlything is the battery could not lift it . but we are going to check it in January .

If it looks like an explosion in a furniture shop you should be okay.

No!
Ours doesn't go into hibernation. It gets used all year round 🤓

Beachball ‘s is on a seasonal and there are the usual restrictions about full year occupancy. Back in January , height of the winter is pretty much all year round in my book😉

If more than a month, remove and charge at home.
But if you have a solar panel that works leave it on the van connected.

I used to do the same as Hutch every time the caravan went into storage. At home it was charged and maintained using a CTEK charger.

For the couple of months we don’t use ours I take the cassette out and give an annual clean, lubricate seals and leave the flap open to allow the seals to rejuvenate

I take the battery out because is easier to periodically top it up in my shed rather than having to get the hook up lead out.

I also have wheel covers to keep some of the wet weather out.

Working with caravans and motorhomes/campers 2/3 days a week I haven't got round to mine which is in storage ( I think I have opened the drain tap but not sure) . I have 260W of solar on the roof , so battery will stay in caravan all winter. When I eventually get to it I will spray ' the big cheese' mouse repellent at all the gas drops and air vents. Last year the issue was birds/ducks sitting under the van on the steadys , leaving their muck all over the steady legs ugh! ( so the steadies might also get 'a spray' this winter.

Where do you get the big cheese repellent from ?
