Heading out on a caravan adventure soon? Before hitting the road, there’s one often-overlooked step that could save travelers a major headache. While everyone remembers the standard checks like tyres, lights, and hitching up, the state of the caravan's interior—specifically the blinds—is crucial.
Failing to retract these blinds before towing can lead to serious damage. Because of the spring mechanisms inside, the vibrations and bumps from potholes during the journey can cause the springs to snap or malfunction, leaving travelers with broken blinds upon arrival. It is a simple, quick habit that prevents unnecessary repair bills and keeps everything in working order for the trip ahead. A quick check now means a much smoother setup later.
