As caravans have become more sophisticated, not surprisingly, the prices have been rising. So, when you buy a caravan you are making a significant investment. In Britain we have very variable weather and so to get the best out of your investment, it might be an idea to do some winter caravanning.<\/p>\n

Many people want to snuggle up at home during the winter months but when you have a little home from home, then winter caravanning can be tempting. Lots of caravan sites are open during the winter months, so what about escaping for Christmas to your own little hide-away, sipping mulled wine miles away from anyone except the one you love?<\/p>\n

Another reason for taking the caravan away during winter is the difference in climates from the North to the South of the UK. If you live in Scotland, going south for a few weeks in January can make all the difference to conditions like SAD (Seasonal Adjustment Disorder). While it isn\u2019t exactly warm during January even down on the south coast, you will see the snow melt more quickly. Seeing snowdrops and crocuses can reassure us that spring is on its way. Those little signs that indicate warmer weather and more sunlight can be just the ticket to keep us going through the cooler weather.<\/p>\n

The good news is that most modern caravans are up to the job. If you want to caravan in below freezing weather, then your caravan is likely up for the job. The general rule is if your caravan has grade 3 insulation<\/a> you are fine in minus conditions. If your caravan has grade 2 insulation you will be okay in down to 0 degrees. Most caravans are equipped with grade three insulation unless you have an older caravan. So almost certainly your caravan is good to go.\u00a0 If you have grade 2 insulation, don\u2019t worry, we have an idea for you later on in this article.<\/p>\n

Grade three insulation means that your caravan will stay at a comfortable 20 degrees when outside the weather is -15 degrees.<\/p>\n
