So, the weather is depressing, and deleterious for caravans...

In the UK, it's been rain, rain and more rain. If your caravan isn't stored under cover you should spend half an hour preventing damp.


Firstly, it takes so little time to stick a few little interior dehumidifiers around your caravan and in the cupboards. Take the opportunity now to buy some, Ebay sell them so you have no excuses! Here's the cheapest I have found.



Right, an important little job is to spray the rubber window seals with silicone lubricant. The rubber seals around the doors and windows dry out over time and the dryer they are, the less effective they are at sealing which will begin to allow moisture in. The one we use is from Halfords, and is surprisingly the best price we've found! Be aware, though, that silicone corrodes aluminium, so keep it away from any of the aluminium rails!



Another tip, is to raise the front end of your caravan up so all the water runs down over the back of the caravan as there are less window areas to affect.

Happy Caravanning!
