The basics of caravan maintenance
As you would probably expect, here at Albion Caravans (http://www.albioncaravans.co.uk), we’re eager to promote the sheer convenience of caravan ownership. However, even we wouldn’t pretend that even the very best of our second hand caravans for sale don’t require some basic maintenance from time to time. With a caravan being such an investment for the budding holidaymaker, you’ll want yours to last as long as possible, so here are our tips for ensuring exactly that.
First things first, you should pay plenty of attention to the gas and electrics of your caravan, such as the refrigerator, making sure not only that the appliances function correctly but also that all of the cords are intact. Then, it helps to step outside to examine the caravan’s exterior. After all, our own used caravans Yorkshire may look spotless when you first take possession of them, but even they can easily accumulate dirt, grime and other debris, making it necessary to clean the caravan in much the same way as your car.
While you’re looking at the exterior, you should also check its metal parts for signs of rust and corrosion. Although a little bit of rust isn’t too much of a problem, it pays to keep a close eye on these areas so that fittings can be quickly replaced if they deteriorate. The wheels of your caravan will also need to be checked before and after each trip, to ensure that the tyres have sufficient air in them and are free of splits or punctures. In the event of any problems with the tyres, you are advised to change them immediately.
Used touring caravans also need to be secure against thieves, which is why you should also check the latches of your windows and doors to ensure that the seals are tight and intact. Another key element of touring caravan ownership is servicing, and we recommend that you have your own caravan serviced once a year. We actually provide servicing for cheap used caravans right here at Albion Caravans, distinguished by highly competitive prices and convenient drop-off and collection times.
Speaking of servicing, you will need to ensure that yours covers all of the basics.
