Caravan Siting
When caravanning, it is highly recommended to site your caravan to secure it and keep it safe, so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your caravanning adventures. Siting a caravan can seem a frustrating and potentially dangerous proposition but put your fears at rest as we offer a quick and handy guide to siting your caravan safely and securely with ease and simplicity…
Supporting your caravan
To secure your caravan, we recommend placing strong jacks, stands and blocks under the caravan chassis, in alignment with the vertical chassis member on your caravan. To hold the supports in place, you must ensure that all loading points of your caravan are level. If your caravan is not level, this may result in the interior and exterior doors becoming unable to open and close properly and could also negatively affect any large windows. If your caravan is larger or longer than average, then additional support, such as axle stands, should be placed around the mid-points of the caravan to keep your caravan in place.
Top tips:
- Where possible, inform the site owners of the dates and times of your siting to minimise disruption.
- Ensure that any belongings in your caravan are securely packed away inside to prevent any possible damage to belongings whilst the caravan is being moved.
- Check that the tow bar and wheels of your caravan are operational to ease transportation.
- Ensure your caravan is already on your pitch or exactly where you need it.
- Connection to services are not usually provided as standard and are usually arranged through your site or by an independent party.
