What Makes a Great Caravan?

Let’s start with the very basics: what actually makes a great caravan? If you don’t know the qualities to look for, then how can you tell the difference between a good caravan and an inadequate one? Some people may demand a larger bathroom or several fold-away surfaces, but there are certainly a number of factors that make a good caravan, no matter the make. When browsing caravan models, look for the following signs of quality:

1. Practicality:  A caravan built with the consumer in mind that efficiently makes the most of its limited space, optimising every inch for your comfort.
2. Build quality: An interior and exterior that is both well-crafted and durable against wear and outdoor weather conditions, with thorough waterproofing ensuring nothing inside is ever damaged.
3. Comfort: Well-made seats, sofas and beds that maximise comfort, as well as a kitchen and bathroom built with ample space and practicality in mind.
4. Weight: While comfort and practicality should be prioritised, the weight of the vehicle should also be considered at all times to ensure that it’s light enough to be comfortably towed and manoeuvred.
5. Modern features: The extent to which these features are present will depend on the brand, yet sufficient LED lighting that saves on power, as well as an efficient climate-control system, should be present.
6. Warranty: Giving you peace of mind in the event of mandatory maintenance, a comprehensive warranty package is a confirmation of a company’s confidence in the quality of their vehicles. Each of our used caravans is given our comprehensive Gold or Silver policy, administered by MB&G.

The Importance of Maintenance

Buying a quality new caravan from the likes of Swift, Coachman, and Bailey opens the door to a whole range of new adventures on the road. But just because you’ve invested in a shiny and clean new leisure vehicle doesn’t mean that it will stay this way forever. To keep your premium caravan in premium condition, you need to keep on top of servicing and maintenance both inside and out. By making the following jobs a priority, you can help your touring caravan last longer.

• Regular interior cleaning and washing, and waxing of the exterior.
• Monitoring tyre pressure – underinflated tyres can cause excessive wear.
• The lubrication of any moving parts.
• Using anti-rust treatment when necessary.
• The use of a caravan cover when not in use. This protects against UV and elemental damage.

Caravan owners should regularly carry out checks on their vehicle to make sure that no significant damage has occurred that could compromise the safety of the structure. Just some signs of wear and tear include:

• Damaged seals: Cracked seals can lead to water ingress, which can become a serious structural problem.
• Gas leaks: The smell of gas due to a gas-reliant appliance can lead to fires or other damages that could be very costly to repair.
• Rust: Once you notice rust, you should immediately address it in order to prevent the weakening of the caravan’s structural integrity.
• Spongy flooring: This can be a sign of water ingress.
• Tyre damage: Caravans are known for carrying heavy loads that can be detrimental to a tyre’s health. Make sure any damaged tyres are replaced before you use the vehicle again.
• Water system: Without properly maintaining your caravan’s water system, you could end up with a repair bill that’s far bigger than it needs to be.

The importance of annual maintenance checks

While doing all the aforementioned checks on your caravan is essential to helping it stay in top nick for as long as possible, an annual maintenance check should be carried out to ensure that nothing has been missed. Able to identify hidden faults, including water ingress issues, explore our service options at Spinney so that you can drive in absolute peace of mind. Or, to keep your caravan maintained all year round, why not explore our monthly caravan service plan?
