Caravan Safety Checklist
Safety is paramount when it comes to caravans, and there are quite a few things you need to look out for. RV & Caravan Centre’s safety checklist includes: - 01.
Battery Health
Battery health plays a vital role when it comes to caravanning, with your caravan being used extensively on a regular basis. It’s important to check its battery health, so you know what condition it is in before setting off on your trip. - 02.
Tyre Safety
When you’re behind the wheel, it’s important to make sure your caravan is fully road legal. With this in mind, tyre safety plays a big role when it comes to ensuring you get where you need to be safely and securely. Are the spare tyres still in place? Are they inflated correctly? Tyre pressure should be checked regularly, as well as the depth of your tread. - 03.
Exterior Surface
A caravan can sense when it has been ignored for too long – our caravan technician will make sure your caravan is free from cracks or other damage. They will make sure your lights are working and check the exterior surface for any damage to make sure your caravan is in tip-top condition. - 04.
Interior Features
During a safety inspection, all crucial caravan components, including lights, cooker, toilet, and other safety-related features, must be thoroughly examined to ensure their proper functioning and minimize potential hazards. This comprehensive inspection is essential to guarantee a safe and trouble-free journey for caravan enthusiasts. - 05.
General Wear & Tear
If you want everything to remain in good working order, then it’s a good idea to have everything checked as much as possible. This means checking the caravan for any signs of damage, whether this is a small scrape or a whole panel that might need repairing or an upgrade. - 06.
External Fittings
Are your external fittings in good working order? The caravan safety inspector will be able to advise on anything that needs doing, whether it’s an outside light or a step that needs replacing. It’s important to have everything checked so you can travel with confidence. - 07.
LPG System Check
Last but not least, it’s important to routinely check that the gas system is fully operational and safe. It’s a good idea to check this over every time you use your caravan, just in case there have been any problems that have been previously missed.
