Is lockdown the perfect time to catch up on caravan upkeep?

Are you keeping on top of your caravan upkeep?

By Chris Littley

The country’s still in lockdown and that means there’s plenty of time at home for the majority of us, so what better way to wile away the hours than to get to grips with essential upkeep for your caravan or motorhome?

There are plenty of easy tasks you can keep on top of at times like these, and let’s face it, there’s only so much Netflix you can watch or new hobbies you can pick up before you’re craving something else to keep you occupied.

Why not take the time to give your caravan or motorhome a thorough deep clean? With the sunny weather (hopefully) sticking around for the next few weeks, you’ve got lots of time to really get into those nooks and crannies and make sure both the interior and exterior are just like new for when the lockdown finally ends.

Other tasks that you might have put off up until now include refitting carpets or cupboards that are tired or worn, sprucing up the interior by adding a new splash of colour or improving your storage situation.

Indeed, some space-saving tips include putting in stackable storage tubs, hanging shoe racks to keep loose shoes out of the way, installing overhead shelving to make use of space that would otherwise go to waste, as well as putting up magnetic strips for things like knives, bottle openers or other small objects.

There really are a whole host of things you can be doing in your caravan or motorhome right now and we want to hear from you. What are some of those annoying jobs that you’ve put off in the past, but you’ve tackled head on now the lockdown is here?
