Elddis Affinity Touring 2016 Owner Handbook

To winterize your Elddis Affinity Touring Caravan 2016, drain all water systems, including the water heater and tanks. Add a non-toxic antifreeze designed for RVs to the plumbing system. Ensure all vents and windows are closed and consider using moisture absorbers to prevent dampness.
Check the battery connections for corrosion or loose wires. Ensure the charger is functioning properly and the mains supply is active. If the problem persists, test the battery with a multimeter or consult a professional.
Ensure even weight distribution and keep the heaviest items low and over the axle. Consider using a stabilizer or anti-sway device. Check tire pressures and wheel alignment regularly.
Regularly wash and wax the exterior to protect against elements. Check for and seal any cracks or gaps in the seals. Inspect the roof and seams for damage and repair as necessary.
Ensure the gas supply is turned on and the cylinder is full. Check for any blockages or leaks in the supply lines. If the appliance does not light, inspect the igniter and thermocouple. Consult a qualified technician if problems persist.
Common causes include leaks, condensation, and poor ventilation. To prevent damp, regularly check seals and vents, use dehumidifiers, and ensure adequate airflow inside the caravan.
Regularly inspect brake linings, drums, and cables for wear and damage. Adjust the brakes according to the manufacturer's specifications and ensure the breakaway cable is in good condition.
Check the circuit breakers and fuses for any tripped or blown components. Inspect wiring for damage and ensure the battery is charged. If the problem persists, consult a professional electrician.
Install a high-quality hitch lock and wheel clamps. Consider an alarm system and motion sensor lights. Use a tracking device for added security.
Check tire pressure and condition, inspect lights and signals, ensure all appliances are functioning, and secure all interior items. Verify that the hitch and towing equipment are properly attached.
