Hi we are going away for the new year with our local CC, We will have no electric hook up we will have to survive 5 days and 4 nights with 2 110 amp bateries and bottled gas, Now we have done lots of summer rally's and survived, my question to all you wise winter caravaners is. Does anybody have any top winter rally tips that will keep me my wife and the 3 children warm and dry and the caravan in full working order for this amount of time

Just come back from a weekend as rally officer at CC rally. tips as follows: beware of mud getting everywhere,take the carpets out if you can. Check your gas bottles have enough gas in them.Take an old blanket or carpet to wrap around the aquaroll to stop it freezing. Tell the kids on pain of death to take their muddy shoes and wellies off before going in the caravan. Have some board games /books as back up.a couple of blankets tpothrow over the kids sleeping nags are useful. Plenty of instant soups etc and simple meals. Above all enjoy the rally.

We have learnt to take plenty of cardboard for the awning to use as a mat, store muddy boots on and also soak up mud if it's particularly wet!
