THIS MONTH WE CHAT… CARAVAN STORAGE // TRAVEL IN THE EU AFTER BREXIT

★ Star letter ★

Do you store your caravan, and if so, when did you last check it? We are lucky enough to keep our 2017 van at home, which was fortunate when we found water on the floor, caused by a leak between the roof panels last November. Our dealership was closed, so the manufacturer suggested getting temporary repairs from a mobile repairer. I found one of his comments interesting: “It’s a good job you had it here; in storage, the van could have been full of water before you knew.” We still have a persistent leak, which is ingressing into the caravan body, with no expectation of repair in the near future. Check your van, if you can, and on a regular basis!

CAN WE HEAT A STORED VAN?

I store our caravan in an open-air, gold-standard facility; although there are a number of spaces with power, unfortunately they are not near us.
