Elddis Avante Touring 2015 Owner Handbook

To winterize your caravan, drain all water systems including the fresh water tank, waste tank, and boiler. Add antifreeze to the system, remove any perishable items, and ensure the caravan is ventilated to prevent mold.
First, check the main fuses and circuit breakers. Inspect the battery connections for corrosion and ensure the battery is charged. If the issue persists, consult a professional electrician.
Regularly wash the exterior with a mild detergent, inspect for cracks or damage, and apply a protective wax coating. Check seals around windows and doors for leaks.
A knocking noise can be caused by loose items inside the caravan, worn suspension components, or incorrect hitch setup. Ensure all items are secured, and have the suspension and hitch inspected.
Use leveling ramps or blocks under the wheels, and ensure the caravan is stable using the built-in stabilizing legs. Use a spirit level to check that the caravan is level side-to-side and front-to-back.
It is recommended to have a full service annually, which includes checking the brakes, gas systems, electrical systems, and water systems to ensure safety and reliability.
Water leaks can be caused by damaged seals around windows and doors, cracks in the roof or walls, or blocked drainage systems. Regularly inspect seals and clear any blockages.
Store in a dry, covered area if possible. Ensure the caravan is clean, dry, and securely locked. Disconnect the battery, cover the wheels, and consider using a breathable cover.
Check if the fridge is set to the correct power source (electric or gas). Ensure the vents are not blocked and that the door seals are intact. If issues persist, have the fridge inspected by a professional.
Ensure your vehicle and caravan are well-maintained, reduce excess weight, drive at moderate speeds, and check tire pressures regularly to minimize rolling resistance.
