  • Welcome to the channel!
    This video is designed to help those in preparation for their own caravan adventures by running you through everything we do to prepare our caravan for travel.
    We found it to be quite overwhelming in the beginning, all the things that you need to think about when you first take off, so we hope this video helps those in that situation.

    As always enjoy your content. Last time we packed up I let my husband do inside God bless his cotton socks ❤❤, big mistake TV anntenna not down, toilet door not latched lucky we were only 15 minutes down the road still bathroom door moved and almost fell off. No way do I want his help anymore he just sticks to outside.

    Good advice there team. I got interrupted by a guy when putting up the corner stays & the front left one only got wound up a little bit. It looked a bit different after that. 😂

    We have similar procedure for packing up, only you forgot to do the checking of the lights on the caravan before you left to ensure indicators etc are working!! We also have walkie talkies to communicate when reversing the car back to hook up, saves someone not hearing something important!!

    • @Ourwhittleadventure
      @Ourwhittleadventure  Рік тому

      Yeh your right we didnt do that.
      We do it pretty often but not every time, same with wheel nuts and tyre pressures, it’s regular but not always.
      We used to use walkie talkies or even the phone on hands free but we just use hand signals now.

      We use mobile phones to communicate while backing in; subject to coverage!

    • @Ourwhittleadventure
      @Ourwhittleadventure  Рік тому

      We used to aswell, we still do sometimes when reversing the caravan

  • @alvincharlesworth5475
    @alvincharlesworth5475 Рік тому +1

    And don't forget to check Vehicle & Caravan lights are working before setting off, plus clean the rear lights of any dust, dirt & mud.

    • @Ourwhittleadventure
      @Ourwhittleadventure  Рік тому

      Yes absolutely, we definitely missed this as we don’t do it every time but it should of definitely been included in this. Thanks

    • @Ourwhittleadventure
