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 the water system (see index).
Ensure all windows, roof lights and doors
are correctly fastened. Check fixed
ventilation apertures are not obstructed.
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
Security: Lowering and locking the corner
steadies and removing the wheels
reduces the risk of caravan theft.
CARAVAN COVERS
Caravan covers may be used to protect
your new Explorer Group Caravan
provided that the cover used is of a
breathable type. Ensure that the point of
the status aerial is removed and that the
cover is well tied down. Your caravan
must be ventilated every 4 to 6 weeks if it
is to be stored with a cover in place.
POWER DRAIN
"In order to reduce any drain on your
Leisure Battery while your caravan is
being stored you should ensure that the
Main control switch on the Refrigerator is
set to the 0 position
Note: Do not work under the caravan
unless the corner steadies are down and
the axle is supported.
Should the caravan be stored for a
prolonged period of time it is strongly
recommended that the caravan is fully
serviced before the commencement of
use. Your retailer will ensure that your
caravan is safe, secure and ready for your
enjoyment.
Note: Caravans stored for any length of
time should not have the handbrake or
brakes applied. The wheels should be
chocked or wedged and the handbrake
released. The hitch head should be
checked to see that it is fully extended
and that there is no load on the braking
system.
