Consider the following before you set off on your next trip:

• Check the campsite you are attending can fit your van size.
• Ensure your vehicle and van trailer are fully serviced and safety checked.
• Always carry a fire extiguisher on board your caravan.
• Join a caravan club in your area to meet people with similar interests.
• Ensure towing mirriors are set correctly. You must be able to view the rear-most corner on the caravan.
• Only empty toilet chemical waste at approved dumping sites.
• Awnings are designed as a temporary shade only - every effort should be made to close them when leaving the van.
