If your going away the autumn or winter make sure, for sure you know how the heater works. My Oh & 2 kids have gone away in our van for half term & she phoned me last night, "How does the heater work?" It's very hard to explain to someone that hasn't done anything before because it's always left to me to sort things out. Never mind she has a plug in fan heater, that'll keep em warm.

As on previous messages, have a good play about with every thing before you go. Our first trip out was during a weekend of pouring rain. Got there, got legs down, levelled up, hooked up, got water. Then all piled inside to get changed as we were soaked through. We set pump on and turned on taps, but nothing. Pump was going but no water. Hubby checked aquaroll which was totally empty so refilled thinking we were filling up the onboard tank. 3 aquarolls (and long trip to refill) later we discovered we had not closed drain valve. You can imagine hubbys reaction he was wearing his only other change of clothing and was soaked through. It took considerable alcohol to restore his good mood!!! MY ADVICE - CHECK VALVE IS CLOSED!!
We also found heating system a bit faffy but getting used to it now.
Good luck and enjoy...still reckon its our best purchase so far.
