Travel Checklist




Use our Travel Checklist to prepare your caravan and car for your journey. There are some things you must ALWAYS check before your journey :

  • Tyre pressure is correct

  • Wheel bolts are correctly tightened

  • The gas is turned off at the cylinder

  • The on-board water tank is empty (if you have one)

  • The on-board toilet tank and flush tank are empty

  • All windows and roof vents are closed and locked

  • Caravan battery is set to your vehicle

  • The fridge power is set to 12v

  • Vehicle oil level

  • Vehicle brake fluid

  • Vehicle coolant level

  • Vehicle windscreen washer levels

  • The roadlights are working when you are hooked up to the caravan.

  • The breakaway cable is correctly connected.

  • Ensure the caravan jockey wheel is lifted and secured.

  • Remember to disengage your motor-mover if you have one.

  • Then remember to take off the handbrake !!

    If you have anything you check before journeys which is not on our Travel Checklist, please let us know.

    A good tip is to copy our above list and then laminate it - you can use the same list before every journey using a dry-wipe pen.

    We hope our Checklist helps you - it is very easy to miss out one of the above jobs which could make your journey less safe or even damage your caravan.
