Pre-holiday Caravan Checklist

December 8, 2018 by rvsc

Get your holiday off to the best start by using our pre-holiday caravan checklist before you leave home.  A quick check of the van will ensure you hit the road safely and with everything working so you won’t have the hassle of doing repairs on your holiday.

Pre-holiday caravan checklist

Caravan items to check:
