Setting up your outfit on a caravan park

• Check in at reception and make your way to your assigned pitch
• Usually you will have to reverse onto the pitch. If in the middle of the park you may be able to drive on forwards
• Before uncoupling the car, use a spirit level to check if the caravan is level from side to side, you can buy a caravan level < here >
• If not level, place a levelling ramp, or suitable blocks of wood under the lower side's wheel and use the car to slowly pull the van onto it
• When level, pull on the handbrake and use wheel chocks to keep the caravan static
• Raise the jockey wheel to separate from the caravan and tighten in that position
• Disconnect the car from the caravan - 12v electrics and safety breakaway cable - before moving the car away!
• Use a spirit level front to back on the caravan floor and adjust the height of the jockey wheel until the caravan is level
• Lower the corner steadies, using spreaders if the ground is soft
• Connect the mains cable (if to be used) to the socket on the van and the electic point for your pitch
• Switch on the mains in the caravan and check if the lights work
• Turn on the LPG cylinder
• Switch fridge to mains if hook up is used
• Fill up water containers and connect to the caravan
• Set up waste pipes and waste container
• Set up the cassette toilet top tank with water
• Place the awning poles on the ground in their correct places
• Slide the awning through awning channel, assemble the poles and peg down the awning
• Now sit down, put the kettle on and relax-- you've earned it!
