The owner or manager of your caravan park will no doubt leave you instructions or be on hand to offer advice, but it's a good idea to be familiar with the procedures that could protect your holiday home.

Before leaving your holiday home for the last time at the end of the season, ensure you empty the fridge and give it a clean with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Leave the fridge door propped open to allow air to circulate.

To prevent burst pipes through winter, it is essential to turn off the water at the mains and drain down the entire system. Expert staff on the park should carry this out where possible.

Some holiday homes will be fitted with central heating systems that contain anti-freeze. These should be set to the temperature stated in the manufacturers instructions and serviced regularly to spot any potential problems before they occur.

Sinks and toilets provide convenient entrances for vermin, so don't forget to close toilet seats and put plugs into plugholes.

Remove all your valuables from the holiday home and leaving cupboard doors and curtains open, so it's easy for potential thieves to see that there is nothing in the holiday home worth breaking in for.

An alarm system is also a good idea if you don't already have one fitted. You can even buy an alarm that will alert the park owner or manager of a break in. Speak to your park for advice.

Condensation can be a major problem through the colder months without adequate ventilation in your holiday home. To help prevent condensation from damaging your interior, leave interconnecting doors open and stack any removable upholstery such as sofa cushions, in the middle of the rooms, or at least away from walls.

Should you be in any doubt about preparing your static caravan holiday home for the winter, speak to your park owner or manager.
