1. CARAVAN TRAVEL CHECK LIST
Before travelling it is important to make sure your caravan is secured and in good condition
for travel. Below is a checklist of things to note before you make your trip if you have not used
your caravan in a while or it is your first trip.
o Check your tow vehicle and trailer are roadworthy. Check your brakes and lights are
working.
o Check wheel nuts, bearings, suspension are in good condition.
o Check your tyre pressure and wear. Make sure tyres are of the same construction on
all wheels and have a tread depth of 1.6mm or more
o Make sure your maximum weight does not exceed what is recommended for your
caravan and car (refer to weights and loads)
o Make sure ball weight is 7-10% of total ATM (maximum unhitched weight of fully
loaded trailer)
INSIDE:
o Test the smoke alarm by pressing the Test button until it sounds. Be sure to do it at
arm’s length away.
o Roof skylight hatch is closed.
o Windows are all closed and locked
o If required check scupper vent is open to prevent dust ingress.
o Fridge and microwave are closed and secure.
o Pantry, kitchen drawers and under bed drawer are locked.
o Table legs are locked into position.
o Ensuite roof vent is closed, ensuite cabinet is locked, shower head is secure
o Make sure there is no one inside the caravan you are towing.
OUTSIDE:

extension lead if you plan to use 240V mains power.

working correctly. Disconnect the trailer plug from the tow vehicle, check fuses, and
