Most UK holiday parks are closed for one to four months over the winter months so you won\u2019t be able to stay in your caravan all-year-round.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3792 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Holiday-park-in-the-rain-380x253.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday park in the rain and wet\" width=\"380\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Holiday-park-in-the-rain-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Holiday-park-in-the-rain-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Holiday-park-in-the-rain-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Holiday-park-in-the-rain.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some park owners might\u00a0allow you access to your caravan during winter so you can check everything\u2019s okay &#8211; but you won\u2019t be allowed to stay overnight and their onsite facilities will probably be closed.<\/p>\n<p>If you do have a holiday caravan or lodge on a site with a full 12 month holiday licence then you\u2019ll be free to stay and get the most out of your unit \u2013 and enjoy those crisp and cold, but clear winter days \u2013 if you\u2019re lucky with the weather!<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t mean you can move into your holiday caravan full time \u2013 it\u2019s for holidays only. Under UK law, citizens living in the UK must be registered to pay council tax somewhere and your holiday park will need proof of a different permanent address from you.<\/p>\n<p>A park that is open throughout the winter means you can keep a check on things and it can help to minimise the potential damage caused by winter weather. If you rent out your unit it could also mean some extra income!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3764\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/stopcock.jpg\" alt=\"Stopcock\" width=\"380\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/stopcock.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/stopcock-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/stopcock-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are using your holiday caravan or lodge then you&#8217;ll be running the water and using the heating, reducing the risk of frozen pipes and other winter perils \u2013 but when you leave make sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/prepare-your-static-caravan-or-lodge-for-winter-3650\/\">winterise according to your insurance policy<\/a> and manufacturer\u2019s recommendations.\u00a0Failing to do so could leave you without insurance cover or invalidate any warranty on your caravan or lodge.<\/p>\n<p>Static caravans are less insulated than houses, so if holidaying in winter make sure yours has double glazing and central heating to keep you nice and warm \u2013 in case there\u2019s a cold snap or windy weather!<\/p>\n<p>Also check your caravan is built to be used in the winter months if you want to spend the majority of the year living in it. Caravans that are built to the European Standard EN1647 are not designed to be used all year round and will not be as well insulated. Some manufacturers will exceed these standards by building caravans that have insulated walls and roofs. But if you want to use your holiday\u00a0caravan throughout\u00a0the year then you&#8217;ll need to check that it\u2019s been built to Residential Standard BS3632.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3770 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hot-water-bottle-image-380x285.jpg\" alt=\"Not water bottle and blankets\" width=\"380\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hot-water-bottle-image-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hot-water-bottle-image-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hot-water-bottle-image-50x38.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hot-water-bottle-image.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s just the occasional winter holiday use be sure to pack some extra blankets \u2013 or even an electric blanket \u2013 and some extra layers for the colder nights. Hot water bottles are a must as well as hat, gloves and scarfs for those brisk walks in the cold!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going out for the day and it\u2019s very cold outside leave your heating on low just to keep the temperature above freezing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/boiler-frost-setting350.jpg\" alt=\"boiler frost setting\" width=\"380\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/boiler-frost-setting350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/boiler-frost-setting350-100x85.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>An electric fan heater for the bedroom will also help to take the chill off.\u00a0But be careful not to leave any electric heaters on overnight or unattended to reduce the risk of fire. It\u2019s better to leave the heating on low overnight to prevent any frozen pipes.<\/p>\n<p>And if your lodge has a wood burner be extra careful with those burning embers! And don\u2019t leave candles burning if you\u2019re not in your unit or while sleeping.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you keep crumbs at bay so as not to attract any unwelcome visitors looking for somewhere warm and well stocked with food! Keeping floors and worktops clean and food in metal containers will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/theres-a-rat-in-the-kitchen-what-am-i-gonna-do-3586\/\">help to prevent vermin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3771 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bowl-of-salt-crystals-253x380.jpg\" alt=\"Salt crystals\" width=\"253\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bowl-of-salt-crystals-253x380.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bowl-of-salt-crystals-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bowl-of-salt-crystals-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Bowl-of-salt-crystals-50x75.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Condensation can be a problem in the colder months so it\u2019s worth placing bowls of salt or dehumidifier crystals around the caravan to soak up moisture in the air and help to reduce damp.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to still keep doors locked and valuables out of sight from prying eyes \u2013 house burglaries traditionally increase during the darker months so it\u2019s important not to be complacent when on holiday. Leave lights on and curtains closed and activate any alarms when you\u2019re out for the day.<\/p>\n<p>If your holiday park does allow extended use of your unit, you might want to consider extending your personal possessions and emergency accommodation insurance cover as you\u2019re likely to have more high value high risk items, such as jewellery in your caravan or lodge.<\/p>\n<p>If you have
