MANUALS
Your caravan will , no doubt , be fitted with every modern accessory , such as a microwave , air-conditioner , cooktop , radio and TV . Most people can work out how to use these as they are very similar to the ones they use at home .
But there are other items that you may have no idea how to operate . The battery management system , solar chargers , inverters , hot water system , fridge … the list goes on . If you ’ ve never had a caravan before , many of these items will be completely unknown to you and you will need to know how they operate .
Your manufacturer should have included all the manuals you need . Take them with you and store them in a handy place so you can access them at a moment ’ s notice . We have downloaded ours from the internet and stored them on one of our notepads , which saves a bit of space .
Your caravan has a multitude of accessories and appliances . It ’ s a good idea to carry the manuals with you .
A HEAD TORCH
Your caravan may be festooned with LED lights inside and out but , trust me , there will be no lights in the places where things tend to go wrong . Under the van , inside the battery storage areas , and even just walking around a campground or caravan park at night , you ’ re going to need a torch at some point . A head torch will allow you to have your hands free to do those emergency repairs that inevitably happen at night !
A head torch is invaluable when trying to work in the dark .
