Hi All,

This may be a silly question but i don't have the answer so thought i would ask!!

We currently have a folding camper and all the crockery, cutlery etc stays in the cupboards for the season and only taken out and put away in the loft during the winter. We have never had anything break as i generally put small cushions in the cupbaord when we are towing but wondered how this all works with a caravan. Do you leave everything in the caravan or do you take everything out as a friend seems to taken everything out after each trip.

Hi Viggo,

I mean in general would you be leaving your plates, cups etc in the cupboards when travelling as a friend takes hers out of the cupboards and puts them in them foldaway crates and puts them on the floor then puts them in the cupboards when she gets to the site. At the end of their stay she then takes everything out of the cupboards and puts them back into the foldaway crates on the floor before leaving the site as she said you can't leave them in the cupboards which i thought was a bit strange!!!

no just put your pot towels ect in with them if you dont ahve the crockery trya that go in the cupboards we used stuff like theses got from car boots

winter time ,i take all out that can freeze or go damp,including cushions.remove all papers and towels that a little mouse can make a nest with.i plastic bag up all bedding and pillows and seal it, then place it in the loft along with the cushions.leave fridge door open always duing winter.even toilet fluid will freeze.take out all tv and sky boxes and any other high value things.other times just the high value bits.

Main thing is you should not travel with anything heavy in the top cupboards.  It affects stability.
