Setting up your outfit on a caravan park |
|
• Check in at reception and make your way to your assigned pitch • Usually you will have to reverse onto the pitch. If in the middle of the park you may be able to drive on forwards • Before uncoupling the car, use a spirit level to check if the caravan is level from side to side, you can buy a caravan level < here > • If not level, place a levelling ramp, or suitable blocks of wood under the lower side's wheel and use the car to slowly pull the van onto it • When level, pull on the handbrake and use wheel chocks to keep the caravan static • Raise the jockey wheel to separate from the caravan and tighten in that position • Disconnect the car from the caravan - 12v electrics and safety breakaway cable - before moving the car away! • Use a spirit level front to back on the caravan floor and adjust the height of the jockey wheel until the caravan is level • Lower the corner steadies, using spreaders if the ground is soft • Connect the mains cable (if to be used) to the socket on the van and the electic point for your pitch • Switch on the mains in the caravan and check if the lights work • Turn on the LPG cylinder • Switch fridge to mains if hook up is used • Fill up water containers and connect to the caravan • Set up waste pipes and waste container • Set up the cassette toilet top tank with water • Place the awning poles on the ground in their correct places • Slide the awning through awning channel, assemble the poles and peg down the awning • Now sit down, put the kettle on and relax-- you've earned it!
