We have had our van for more or less 1 yr now and thouroughly love it. Our first outing last yr was the weekend after bonfire night and then again over new yr when temps were down to -10°C, however as mentioned before the caravan was lovely and toasty. The weather was beautiful and i had never seen frost/fog/mist like it. (stayed nr to delamere forest cheshire). Our view was that we had paid alot of money for the caravan and it should be used and not stored. So far we have managed 8 trips away including main 2week holiday and still have three to go including new yr at chirk CC site. We just change the configuration in the van for wintering caravaning. i.e. 2kw oil filled radiator, cover for water conatiners, lagging for external pipes, small porch awning, wellies and warm coats, hot chocolate and left over xmas goodies for new yr. Its fun enjoy, lifes to short not too.

Happy wintering caravaning to all.

We go away during the winter too, but you still need to take small precautions. Drain your carver and add anti freeze to the cassette.

Horrible damage can occur to your carver, even overnight.
