CaravanParks.com is designed to provide you with all the information you need to know about Caravan Parks and Caravanning in Southern Africa. Keep your Practical Advice Lists together in a safe place, preferably in your caravan... At the Campsite At the campsite we sometimes use a small tent for storage of the boxes. It makes the campsite look much neater. Winds generally blow upslope by day and downslope by night. Position your caravan so that openings don't face a slope or significantly higher ground. Colder, dense air settles in low-lying areas. Try to choose a campsite situated on higher ground with some trees or other natural cover. Keep a key to your caravan, campervan or motorhome in each toilet bag so that members of your party can go to the amenities block together but not wait for someone else to get back into the vehicle. A coir mat seems to be the most suitable for general use outside the van entrance. The best way to keep your tank water fresh is to keep it in use. Run some water through the tap every day, even when the van is at home and not in use. Depending on the size of your tank and the number of pumps of the tap you do each day (I do about 100), a one- to two-week cycle of emptying the tank from full should keep the whole system fresh without the need for chlorine. If you have the choice when setting up on unlevel ground, orientate the vehicle so that the door is on the up side of the slope and the step is closer to the ground or use caravan wheel levelling ramps that work very well,ask your local dealer who can assist you. |
