Caravan Health and Safety Tips

Weber

Make sure you always unwind your electric cable fully to prevent it overheating.

Alan Harvey

 

Use a set of bathroom scales to get your nose weight correct.

Paul Broomfield

 

Steradent tablets are great for cleaning out your aquarolls and far cheaper than using the powdered stuff you can buy.

Barbara Appleby

 

Use about six inches of blue type water pipe pushed onto the end of the front drainage rail on your caravan, this directs rain water away from your awning, causing black stains.

Steve Sims

 

Once you have locked on to tow ball always wind up the van via the wheel - if the car also lifts then you have a good lock on your towball and you're ready for the big wide open road.

N Younge

 

Watch your speed when towing. Remember you are an articulated vehicle and as such must comply with a maximum speed on motorways and dual-carriageways of 60mph, on all other roads a maximum of 50mph applies unless a lower limit is indicated by signs or street lighting (30 etc). Always be able to stop within the distance you can see to be clear.

Jim Borsay

 

If your micro switch fails on a water tap , remove cover and spray with WD40.

Alan Rowe

 

Always use a smoke detector and check batteries before each use.

Peter Martin

 

Whatever method you use - check your nose weight. We were amazed to find that we have built up a nose weight of 125kg without realising.

G.L.Williams

 

Always keep your lpg hoses up to date for your safety and others.

Allen Williams

 

Use a gardening kneeling pad to protect your knees when pegging out the awning.

Liz Tubby

 

Always ensure the awning covers are down when there's a risk of wind.

Dave Johnston

 

Make sure your mobile battery is fully charged before you leave home in case of emergencies.

Mr Michael Ramchaitar

 

To keep the midges at bay, hang camomile tea bags from each of the windows on the outside. You'll be amazed, it really works.
