Getting Your Caravan or Camper Ready

• Check your fresh water system for leaks, flushing the system at the same time. You will find out if your pump is working correctly.
• Flush through your waste system and add some refreshing product such as Thetford’s Grey Water Fresh
  
• Check out the cassette toilet system, the flush pump and the rubber seal on the waste tank. Aqua Rinse pink spray is useful to lubricate the rubber seal
• Open all your rooflights and clean the debris which has collected there. Aqua Rinse is good for lubricating the seals here as well
• Similarly open all the windows and clean the rubber seals
• Check all the cupboard doors and lubricate the hinges and catches as required
• Fire up your heating and hot water system on gas to help clear any debris on the burners
• Remove the outside fridge vents and gently vacuum the back of your fridge, then operate your fridge on gas for ten minutes to clear the burner
• In your gas bottle locker check the dates on the rubber hoses. Five years is their maximum life, so if older they need replacing.
• Check the date on your Fire Extinguisher and replace if expired.
• Check your tyres for cracks, not just tread depth

These are just a few things you can do to be ready for future adventures particularly if you are struggling to book a full habitation check at the moment.
