Just been to a site at the other end of the country, between Halstead and Sudbury. Reviews of both to do soon. Looking forward to Tilbury Fort, the foot ferry over the Thames and the bird reserves.
It's a tadddd to cold for us yet
Us too! I don't even think about de-winterising my caravan until at least the end of March, and if we are still getting frosts not even then. It's usually ready for winter by the end of October.
Have to admit, that the cold alone is not too much of a disincentive to use the van at this time of year, but having to 'de-winterise' it and then 'winterise' it again after a brief use is a HUGE disincentive to me!
I do a thorough job of removing all fluids from the van and 'blow through' the water system to clear all residual water after drain down (there is quite a lot that is not cleared by a normal drain down, even after hours/miles on the journey home!), so no risk of freezing damage. That's a bit of a chore when done at leisure pre-winter, but after return from a trip and putting the van back into storage, it would need doing with urgency before leaving the van in potential freezing temperatures, and with both dark and the 5pm deadline to be off storage yard, that is a PITA. I also tend to strip the van contents for winter storage, so it would need 'restocking' and 'de-stocking' for a trip.
It all seems too much of a faff! - think the prep and clear up would take a lot of the joy out of a winter trip away. In 'normal' use, the van is kept pretty much ready to go, so minimal 'faff' to get away, and equally easy to pop back into storage after use. Maybe if your van is on your driveway, it's easier, but mines at least 45mins away in storage!
