What should I check when inspecting a lightweight caravan before buying?
Before purchasing a lightweight caravan, thoroughly inspect for dampness, especially around windows, seams, and the roof. Check the condition of the tyres, lights, and brakes. Ensure all appliances, such as the hob, fridge, and any fitted heating, are in good working order. Also, examine the chassis for rust or damage.
What towing capacity do I need for a lightweight caravan?
The towing capacity required depends on the caravan's Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM). Check your vehicle's handbook and the caravan's weight plate to ensure your car can legally and safely tow the caravan. It's crucial to stay within the manufacturer's recommended towing limits.
What are the legal requirements for towing a caravan in the UK?
You must have the correct driving licence entitlement to tow a caravan. Check the DVLA website for the latest regulations. The caravan must have a working breakaway cable and be fitted with appropriate lights and number plate. The combined weight of the car and caravan must not exceed the limits specified in your vehicle's handbook. From 16 December 2021, drivers who passed their car driving test from 1 January 1997 can tow caravans up to 3,500kg MAM.
How can I prevent dampness in a lightweight caravan?
Regularly ventilate the caravan, especially after use. Use a dehumidifier during storage. Check and reseal any areas prone to leaks, such as window frames and roof vents. Consider using a caravan cover during the off-season to protect it from the elements. Promptly address any signs of dampness to prevent further damage.
What safety considerations should I keep in mind when using a gas system in a caravan?
Ensure the gas system is regularly serviced by a qualified gas engineer. Always check for gas leaks using a leak detection spray. Never store gas cylinders inside the caravan. Ensure adequate ventilation when using gas appliances. Fit a carbon monoxide alarm and test it regularly.
