WINTERIZATION & STORAGE
The following applies whenever your caravan
is stored, particularly during winter months.
If you do not intend on using your vehicle for
a while it is an ideal time to arrange for your
caravan to have its annual service at your
appointed dealer.
• It is a good idea to store the caravan with
the nose down; this will avoid any water
pooling on the roof.
• Do not leave your vehicle near trees or
latch-type gates due to possible wind
damage.
• Keep any grass around the floor of the
caravan short to maintain airflow and stop
any possible damp getting into it.
• It is advised that the caravan is ventilated
regularly throughout the storage period,
opening windows, doors and rooflights
where possible.
• All moving parts should be checked for
free operation.
• Clean all cooking appliances and the
refrigerator before parking up the vehicle.
• Charge up the on-board battery every 2
months.
• Leave the refrigerator door open.
• Leave the furniture and locker doors open
to allow air to circulate fully.
• Ensure that the entire water system is
thoroughly drained.
• Make sure that all plumbing pipes, drains,
and water supply appliances within the
caravan are properly drained.
• Remove the battery from the caravan to
keep it warmer. If the battery cells were
to freeze this could cause damage to the
cells and decrease the life of the battery.
• Try to cover as much as possible of the
underside of the caravan to prevent snow
from collecting. This will help to prevent
damage to the tyres due to weather
conditions.
• Apply a lubricant to all locks; this will
prevent freezing.
MODIFICATIONS & DIY WORK
Owners need to be aware that carrying out DIY
modifications to your caravan may, in certain
circumstances, invalidate the warranty cover
and could also affect the safety and structure
of the vehicle.
CARAVAN KEYS
Each caravan is supplied with 2 identical keys.
In the event of both keys being lost these
cannot be replaced. In this instance a new lock
will have to be fitted with a fresh set of keys.
SPARES & AFTERSALES
There are numerous parts and accessories
available for your caravan either from your
Bailey retailer or through the Bailey Parts
website. You are more than welcome to
contact the parts website for anything you may
require. However, if it is a safety or warranty-
critical item you will need to obtain it from
your Bailey retailer who will fit the component
for you.
