Maintenance Advice
During the summer months there is not much to do, perhaps a good clean of the van outside to prevent any algea build up. A little strimming and sit back and enjoy.
During the winter especially when the caravan park is closed or where there is a long period when you will not be using your holiday home, there are a few tips we would like to give you for ensuring your caravan is protected from
the elements.
• Make sure you take all valuables home, tv, dvd player etc.
• Remove all net curtains, bedding, pillows and roller blinds.
• Make sure all seat cushions and mattresses are on there side to let the air circulate to prevent mildew forming.
• Leave all doors open including cupboard doors to help air circulate.
• Empty and clean fridge freezer, oven and hob. Leave the doors to these appliances open.
• Unplug any electrical items .
• Make sure all air vents are clear but screened to prevent any vermin getting in.
• Close all windows and sky lights.
• Put away and items normally stored outside the caravan such as bikes, garden furniture, etc.
• Check that any sheds are locked securely and secured to the ground.
• Place dishes of household salt in every room of your caravan to draw any excess moisture out of the air.
• Turn off all electrics including the circuit breaker. Turn off gas bottles and mains water supply.
• Make sure the Park Office has a contact number and a key for your mobile home in case of an emergency.
