At a caravan park, this is a fairly simple procedure. You will place the trailer or van on one side closests to the power,
water and drainage facilities and leave the other side free for setting up kitchens, seating areas and your vehicle. When
it comes to remote travelling you have a great deal more freedom in how you position your van or trailer however you
should consider the following:
-
Position the van/trailer in a location where you can easily hitch and unhitch without having to physically move
the van/trailer
o
This is very important as a fully loaded trailer/van on uneven terrain will be near on impossible to move
around easily
-
Ensure the van/trailer is positioned in a way that gives you good space for outside seating, cooking and enjoying
for your family and friends
-
Make the most of the view
o
It’s a great idea to make sure the van/trailer windows are aimed at that million dollar view to ensure you
enjoy it for the entire time you are at camp
-
Consider the elements
o
Positioning under a tree may be a good idea if it’s a summer time vacation however if strong winds are
forecast, then the tree may become a dangerous object that could see branches fall and damage your
van/trailer or harm someone. Trees also drop sap which can stain your van/trailer external surfaces
o
Be mindful of the sun, you may be able to maximise or minimise the impact of the sun by the position of
the van/trailer in relation to other objects that cast shadows such as mountain ranges, trees etc
o
What is the wind doing – There is nothing worse than camping in a windy location. Use objects and
obstacles to block or reduce the wind. Great example of this is camping behind a sand dune to stop the
off-shore wind ruining your holiday
