Motorhome

If you aren’t using them over the winter months, it is essential that you winterise your caravan or motorhome. Winterising is the number one essential storage tip for a caravan or motorhome, and without doing it you are likely to find hassle and expense coming your way when you take it out to tour again.

Top Tip: Make sure you test your caravan or motorhome before your first trip of the season for any signs of damage over winter. It is far easier and less stressful to fix an issue BEFORE you leave home than it is once you are pitched up. Change your water filter, and check the water flow. Frost damage is unlikely if you have thoroughly winterised your vehicle. However, it can happen and will cause cracks in your pipes. In addition, hook up your battery and check that it is fully functional. If you have been monitoring the charge levels over the winter there should be no issue. But it always pays to be safe rather than sorry! Check your caravan or motorhome as far in advance as you can before you set off, leaving yourself plenty of time to iron out any problems and leaving your holiday totally stress free! Got an issue? Give us a call on 01772 685949. We’ll be able to offer advice and assistance.

We always have a good selection of awnings on display in our heated indoor showroom. We find it helps people decide what kind of awning is best for them, being able to see the differences between models and sit inside them. Now, thanks to our amazing season of caravan and motorhome sales, we’ve got the room to extend our awnings display throughout the showroom! We’ve got a whole host of awnings, including porch and motorhomes suitable models, as well as the incredibly popular Kampa Air range. So, if you’re considering getting an awning, or upgrading your current model, it’s never been a better time to visit us!

Here at Preston Caravans and Motorhomes, we’re very proud to have staff on hand who love caravanning as much as our customers do. Kim Gardham, who runs our Retail Trade and Storage Facility, often takes his family away for a trip in the caravan. Back in the office we’re always amazed at the meals his wife Louise whips up for them while they’re away, so we asked her if she’d share her secrets with us! Luckily she was happy to oblige, so here are 2 of Louise’s favourites that you can try next time you’re pitched up:

For many caravanners and motorhome users, holidays and weekends are their only chance to hit the road, escape from the daily grind and reconnect with their family. But the Meeks, proud owners of an Elddis Autoquest, have decided that life is too short to confine their quality time. They’ve quit their jobs, sold their house, and taken the kids out of school – to live a lifestyle that will strike a chord with families everywhere. Preston Caravans and Motorhomes was lucky enough to get an interview with them to find out more about their “EdVenture”.
