In my years as a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>motorhome<\/strong> enthusiast I&#8217;ve seen more <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>damage<\/strong> caused to leisure vehicles in campsites than any where else. Leave aside the sometimes tight nature of some campsites and the possibility of a scrape or not judging your rear overhang correctly, what I&#8217;ve noticed is the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>damage<\/strong> caused by parked vehicles taking off again. Here&#8217;s a quick checklist that I have printed and stuck on the inside of my <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>motorhome<\/strong> as a quick reminder of things to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>check<\/strong> every time I take off:<\/p>\n<p>Am I hooked up?    <br \/>Are any windows open?     <br \/>Are stabilizers down?     <br \/>Is <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>gas<\/strong> switched on?     <br \/>Is fridge not on battery setting?     <br \/>Is my awning attached?     <br \/>Are any objects likely to slide?<\/p>\n<p>Some of these might seem quite obvious things to check, but believe me, I&#8217;ve seen or heard of all of the above caused thousands of pounds worth of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>damage<\/strong> to motorhomes. Am I hooked up \/ plugged in? If you are on a campsite &#8211; chances are that you are hooked up to their electrical source. If you drive off and are still plugged into this source, you can <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>damage<\/strong> the connection point on your vehicle, at the campsite source point and also <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>damage<\/strong> your lead. Are any windows open? Check all windows, including roof lights, are closed before you make your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>journey<\/strong>. These can be very expensive to replace. At high speed, the wind can <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>damage<\/strong> an open window. Are stabilizers down? Most motorhomes come with rear stabilizers to steady the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>van<\/strong> and reduce rocking motion, whilst the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>van<\/strong> is parked.<\/p>\n<p>Driving off with these down will ruin both the campsite ground and possibly your stabilizers. Is <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>gas<\/strong> switched on? Most vehicles have safety mechanisms that cut off the flow of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>gas<\/strong> when driving, but I&#8217;m old fashioned, I like to switch off the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>gas<\/strong> supply, at source, before driving off. Is fridge on battery? Most <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>motorhome<\/strong> fridges are 3-way i.e. they can be powered by gas, electricity or battery (when driving). Make sure you are set to battery before your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>journey<\/strong> or else your fridge contents may not be cold for your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>journey<\/strong>. Is my awning attached? I guess the top tip here is look in your mirrors before driving off. Better again, walk all the way around your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>vehicle<\/strong> before taking off, to inspect is anything attached to or resting on (e.g. bicycles) your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>van<\/strong>. Are any object likely to slide? Pack up all items inside the van, prior to take off. Is there a DVD case or Nintendo DS on a table or worktop that will slide off, at the first turn you come to?<\/p>\n<p>AboutMotorhomes.<strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>com<\/strong> promotes best practice when it comes to caring for your leisure <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>vehicle<\/strong>.
