  If you use your caravan or motorhome throughout the winter or are giving it a try for the first time this year, it’s a good idea to have some activities planned to ensure you don’t spend your entire break tucked away inside your caravan, unsure of where to venture in the colder climes!
  
  There’s plenty you can do to keep active and entertained wherever you choose to stay - not that chilling out inside your caravan isn’t a very viable option too of course! But having some activities or days out planned will help give your holiday some shape and make you feel like you’ve done something and seen a bit of the area.

  What’s more, going away in the winter months is great as it’s a lot quieter and you’ll discover a whole host of different things to enjoy in the off-peak season.

  Modern caravans are well equipped to deal with winter conditions so there’s no reason to leave yours sitting on the driveway until the spring if you don’t want to. If you’re happy to get out and about all year round then take advantage of your home on wheels and off you go!

  You’ve got a readymade holiday home waiting to take you anywhere you wish. If you’re retired or have time off, getting away in the caravan could give you the break you need after the year we’ve had. As people gear up for Christmas and the kids are in school, it should be relatively quiet at sites, giving you the chance to really relax.

  The clocks have gone back, the heating is on and the fluffy slippers are out - yes, winter is well on its way! Although modern caravans are well-equipped for year-round touring, with well-insulated body construction, advanced heating systems and endless creature comforts, the majority of caravanners still opt for spring-autumn trips only.

  If this is the case for you, now’s the time to prepare your caravan for the cold winter months on the drive or in storage. There are many things you can do to ensure your caravan remains in tip top condition until the temperature rises a little and the time comes to get back on the road.
