Elddis Avante Touring 2016 Owner Handbook

To winterize your Elddis Avante, drain all water systems including the water heater and pipes. Add antifreeze to the system, remove and store the battery in a warm place, and ensure all windows and vents are sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
Check if the main power supply is connected and the circuit breakers are not tripped. Inspect the fuses for any that may have blown and replace them if necessary. Ensure your battery is charged and functioning correctly.
Ensure your caravan is well-maintained with properly inflated tires. Distribute the weight evenly, reduce unnecessary load, and maintain a steady speed. Utilizing aerodynamic aids like towing mirrors and wind deflectors can also help reduce drag.
Musty smells are often due to moisture build-up. Ensure adequate ventilation by opening windows and vents regularly. Use dehumidifiers or moisture absorbers and clean any mold or mildew with suitable cleaners.
Check tire pressure and condition, inspect brakes, lights, and the hitch mechanism. Ensure all appliances are functioning, and the water, gas, and electrical systems are in good condition. Conduct a thorough cleaning inside and out.
Identify the leak source and clean the area. Apply a suitable sealant or patch designed for caravan roofs. For extensive damage, consider professional repair to ensure the integrity of the roof.
Refer to the manufacturer's manual for the recommended tire pressures, which are typically between 50-65 psi. Regularly check and adjust the pressure to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Insulate exposed pipes and the water tank. Use a tank heater or heat tape where possible, and keep the interior of the caravan at a moderate temperature to prevent freezing.
Check that the fridge is level and has adequate ventilation. Clean the vent and check the gas supply if it's a gas-powered fridge. Ensure the door seals are intact and the thermostat is set correctly.
It is recommended to service your caravan annually or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Regular servicing includes checking the chassis, brakes, electrical systems, and appliances.
