Seasonal Maintenance
The winter months are usually a time when your caravan may be closed up and if you have not ensured your van is ready for the frost and months of idleness then you could be facing big problems and even expensive repair bills.
If you are not going to be using your van during the winter, it is recommended that you remove all gas cylinders and store in an adequately ventilated location. Ensure that all cylinders are fully turned off and the gas compartment is locked. Keep in mind that when storing Butane gas, it begins to freeze at temperatures below 4°C whereas Propane does not.
