We recommend using our professional winterisation service to drain down your static caravan. This ensures the job is done safely and correctly, helping to protect your holiday home from cold weather damage such as frozen or burst pipes. Simply speak to your Owner Experience Team on park to arrange your service.
Draining down, also known as winterisation, is usually done during the winter months, when holiday parks are closed or when temperatures fall below freezing. Even in autumn or early spring, a sudden cold snap can cause damage if your caravan has not been properly prepared.
For those who are confident and experienced, the process typically involves turning off the stopcock, draining the water system, adding antifreeze, and insulating any exposed pipework. It is also recommended to remove soft furnishings that could be affected by damp and to store mattresses away from exterior walls to reduce contact with condensation.
However, for complete peace of mind and to avoid the risk of costly repairs, our on-park team is always here to help with expert support.
