Protecting from Mould

Mould is very difficult to clean once a porous surface is

affected. There are several ways you can prevent the

occurrence of mould on your caravan.

Never leave your camper packed away wet. If you must

leave a campsite with wet canvas or a damn interior, be

sure to open and dry out your tent thoroughly at the

very first opportunity when you get home. Mould can

develop in just a couple of days so don’t take the risk.

When packing up dry, it is important to check under the mattress that there is no build-up of condensation

overnight. Body heat on a mattress can create enough temperature difference with the exterior for moisture to

form under it. If left unchecked this can cause mould when your caravan is stored.

Useful Accessories

Levelling Blocks

These are excellent for levelling your trailer on set up. Stabiliser legs are not meant for correcting the trailer angle,

they are there to keep it stable when people are in it. Using levelling blocks will extend the service life of the

stabiliser legs and make set up much safer and faster. See below images.

Wheel Chocks

Wheel chocks are an important safety device when leaving your trailer parked on even the slightest incline. On

level ground it is recommended to chock both sides of the wheel. On a hill you should chock the wheels on the

downhill side ensuring the chocks
