POLL NOW CLOSED – Thanks to everyone who voted<\/p>\n

There’s a bit of a chill in the air in the early mornings and evenings and sadly it’s time to start thinking about winterising your caravan and maybe even closing it up for winter!<\/p>\n

It’s a condition of our holiday caravan insurance policy that you must drain down your static caravan or lodge from November 1st to March 15th if your caravan is not in use. But it’s also a good idea to take other steps to protect your static caravan in winter, such as removing valuables, food and even bedding, as well as checking your guttering and roof and storing outdoor furniture away.<\/p>\n

In this month’s community poll we’d like to know if you prepare your holiday caravan for winter.<\/p>\n

\"Static<\/p>\n

Maybe you drain down yourself or you leave all winterisation plans to your park operator.<\/p>\n

There are a number of options below and as always feel free to explain more in the comments box below.<\/p>\n

If you want to know more about winter preparations see our recent video on how to drain down your static caravan<\/a> which goes through the steps to take.<\/p>\n

We’ll report back the poll results in October, along with a guide to preparing your static caravan for winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
