Before the travel season begins, you need to prepare and maintain your campervan. The safety and comfort of vacationers in it directly depend on the technical condition of the caravan. Preparation should begin with an examination of the body: thoroughly clean all surfaces of the body, inside and out. If the caravan overwintered on the street, special attention should be paid to the roof. After cleaning, check the connections to all windows, covers and other body elements for cracks and leaks. Don't forget the bottom of the caravan: examine all elements of the base for completeness.
