pre-prepared wipe impregnated with a
disinfectant/sterilant.
7. The container should be inverted whilst
stored overnight (if possible).
8. The container must be filled with mains
water only and mains water only should
be used for the above cleaning procedure.
9. On no account should garden hoses be
used to fill water tanks.
Systems
1. Drain down the system (Open all taps to
allow air in, enabling the system to drain
quickly), using the floor mounted drain
taps.
2. Remove any water filters fitted, and
replace with a short length of hose or
empty filter cartridge (this will ensure the
filter is not affected by the
disinfectant/sterilant solution).
3. Fill the system by using the pump with a
disinfectant/sterilant solution. (Check that
the solution at full strength appears all
taps/showers). Allow to stand for the
recommended period of time.
4. Drain the system down completely, as 1.
5. Thoroughly clean the outside of all
taps/connectors with a cloth soaked in the
disinfectant/sterilant.
6. Flush the system through with clean
drinking water until no traces of
disinfectant/sterilant can be detected at
any tap.
7. Replace the filter.
Suitable sterilising chemicals are available
from your caravan dealer, accessory shop,
chemists, or home-brew shops. It is not,
however, recommended to use bleach or
sodium metabisulphide.
STORAGE
If the caravan is to be stored for any length
of time, especially over the winter period,
the following operations are recommended.
Remove all linens, blankets, cushions,
clothes, mattresses, etc. which could be
affected by damp conditions. Clean the
caravan inside and out as detailed in the
previous section.
Drain off the water system. (See previous
section).
Drain and sterilise the toilet. (See previous
section).
Ensure all windows, roof lights and doors
are correctly fastened and locked. Check
fixed ventilation apertures are not
obstructed.
Ensure that the alarm PIR’s view of the
caravan interior is clear and not obscured by
items stored on the floor.
Check that the site you have chosen to store
the caravan is open, fairly high and dry and
if possible not exposed to gales etc. If this
proves impossible it is recommended that
the caravan chassis is anchored to the
ground.
Jack up the caravan (use bottle or screw
jack, do NOT use the corner steadies) so
that the wheels are clear of the ground.
Support the caravan axle with wooden
blocks, axle stands or similar so that when
the jacks are removed the wheels remain
clear of the ground. Lower the corner
steadies to ‘just’ site the caravan. Cover the
tyres to prevent deterioration. Release the
handbrake. Rotate the wheels at regular
intervals to maintain wheel-bearing
lubrication. Grease the over-run and shroud
in a waterproof protective cover. Grease
must not be used if an AKS or similar
stabiliser is fitted.
Switch off 12 volt supply.
SECURITY: Lowering and locking the
corner steadies and removing the wheels
reduces the risk of caravan theft.
NOTE: Do not work under the caravan
unless the corner steadies are down and the
axle is supported.
