On Arrival At A Caravan Park |
|
- Once you have booked in go to the pitch allocated to
you.
- Reverse or drive onto the allotted pitch. While the car
is still attached to the caravan use a spirit level to
check if the caravan is level from side to side.
- If it is not level place a ramp in front of the lowest
wheel and drive forward onto the ramp to level it.
- Pull on the caravan handbrake and chock the wheels,
especially if you are on a sloping pitch.
- Disconnect 12v connections, breakaway cable and stabiliser
(if fitted).
- If you are on soft ground place a wood or plastic spreader
plate under the jockey wheel.
- Unclamp and lower the jockey wheel until it touches the
ground, re-clamp securely.
- Wind down the Jockey wheel, while holding the hitch
handle up, until the hitch is separated from the tow ball.
- Move car forward out of the way and replace tow ball
cover. Stops you getting grease from the tow ball on your
trousers!
- Place a spirit level lengthways on the caravan floor
and adjust the height of the jockey wheel until the caravan
is level.
- When the caravan is level lower all of the corner steadies,
placing spreaders under the feet.
- Put the caravan step in position and enter the caravan.
Switch the 12v system to 'caravan'.
- Unpack the mains cable (if it is to be used) and insert
it into the socket on the van.
- Make sure the caravan mains switch is 'off' and then
uncoil the whole cable and carefully position it from the
caravan to the mains socket for your pitch. Connect the
plug to socket.
- Turn on the mains switch in the caravan.
- Connect and switch on the LPG cylinder. Switch fridge
to gas and light, (or mains if hook up is used).
- Fill up water container and place pump into it and then
connect to inlet.
- Place waste tank under van and connect hose to tank
and outlet socket.
- If applicable fill up the cassette toilet top tank.
Purge the water heater by running the hot tap until water
runs steadily and bubble free. Switch on water heater.
- Put the kettle on and have a cuppa, or open a bottle
of wine.
- Once you have had a rest arrange the awning poles on
the ground in their correct places.
- Thread the awning through awning channel. Start assembling
poles. Peg out awning.
