Consider With Caravan Ownership<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have just bought or are considering buying a caravan, there are a few additional ownership costs to keep in mind. Here, we will take a look at some of the short term and long term costs to expect when owning a new or used caravan. Once you have these immediate and future costs budgeted out, then there should be few surprises financially.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4904\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/caravan1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/caravan1.png 700w, https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/caravan1-300x257.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Initial_Purchase\"><\/span><strong>Initial Purchase<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you already own a caravan, congratulations on your purchase! If you are in the market to buy, there are a number of factors to consider when making your decision.<\/p>\n<p>When shopping around, make sure you get the total price after taxes, license and any additional fees. Some dealers may quote you a price but then add previously undisclosed fees at the time of sale. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask specific questions ahead of time. If the price is too good to be true, there may be a reason.<\/p>\n<p>Find out exactly what is included in your caravan at the time of sale. Does it include a fresh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/best-leisure-battery\/\">battery<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/best-caravan-tvs\/\">a television<\/a>, a new camper starter package? Find out all the details up front, so you won\u2019t be disappointed later.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of sale, there may be warranty and protective coverage decisions you will have to make. An extended warranty can protect you from unexpected costs due to damage or wear and tear. However, make sure you know all the details. Check to see if there is a preventative maintenance schedule that you must follow. Read the warranty terms well and know the deductible costs and out of pocket costs before you make any final decisions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4905\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/caravan2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/caravan2.png 700w, https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/caravan2-300x257.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Started_in_Your_Caravan\"><\/span><strong>Getting Started in Your Caravan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After you\u2019ve purchased your little home on wheels, there are a few initial purchases you\u2019ll need to make before you go on your first trip.

Next to a home and car, a caravan may be one of the largest purchases an individual will make. It\u2019s important to protect your purchase with a special caravan insurance policy.<\/p>\n<p>While caravan insurance isn\u2019t mandatory, it\u2019s still a very good idea. Accidents happen. Rest easy knowing that insurance has you covered in case of an accident or theft.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Breakdown_Cover\"><\/span><strong>Breakdown Cover<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Look into signing up for a breakdown cover service. In the case of a mechanical mishap or tire blowout during your travels, it\u2019s good to know that help is just a mobile call away. There are a number of companies and plans available. Ask your insurance provider if they have any recommendations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4906\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/caravan3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/caravan3.png 700w, https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/caravan3-300x257.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Service\"><\/span><strong>Service<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are also long term costs to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Regular service checks are necessary for as long as you own your caravan. Little problems can turn into big problems if they are not caught right away (especially when it come to water damage).<br \/>\nHow often you service your caravan depends on how you use it. You will want to have your caravan regularly serviced especially before major trips and after coming out of storage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 3\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>At the very least you should have your caravan serviced once a year, so a professional can look for leaks, axle issues and tire wear. They will also make sure your components are in good working order including your appliances, LP system, electrical system, A\/C, furnace, brakes and generator (if you have one).<\/p>\n<p>In addition to regular maintenance, you may need to have a major repair made due to an accident or system failure. It\u2019s helpful to have a rainy day fund ready for these inevitable unforeseen expenses.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Storage\"><\/span><strong>Storage<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is one expense that many times gets overlooked. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caravanhelper.co.uk\/how-much-is-caravan-storage\/\">Storing your caravan<\/a> is a must if you don\u2019t have the space to keep the vehicle at your home, or want to keep it safe in a locked lot when not in use. You may want to ask if there is a discount for longer contracts if you are planning on storing your caravan for a full year or longer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Waxing_and_Detailing\"><\/span><strong>Waxing and Detailing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to give your caravan and good cleanup inside and out periodically. The exterior will need a wax and polish and the interior will need a thorough detailing to keep it looking its best. You can purchase the wax, buffer and cleaning solutions yourself, or if you want to save time and effort, there are services that will do this for you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tires\"><\/span><strong>Tires<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Eventually, your caravan\u2019s tires will wear out. When they do, they will need to be replaced. This is one cost to keep in mind later down the road. Get in the habit of checking your tire for tread wear, dry rot and leaks. Always check the air pressure before traveling. Uneven wear from under or over inflated tires will shorten their overall life expectancy.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Petrol\"><\/span><strong>Petrol<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Last but not least is petrol costs. Even if you own a tow behind caravan, this still affects your vehicle\u2019s efficiency. The extra weight causes an increase in petrol use.<\/p>\n<p>Petrol costs may factor into your travel plans. If you are on a budget, consider looking at destinations closer to home. Instead of visiting 5 or 6 destinations, pick 2 and stay for a longer time at each one. This will cut down on excessive driving and petrol use.<\/p>\n<p>Caravanning is a great way to travel while saving money on lodging, dining and airfare. With a little budgeting and planning, you can anticipate associated costs ahead of time. Once these expenses are sorted, kick back, relax and enjoy caravan camping fun!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food\"><\/span><strong>Food<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One other cost that people forget about is food.
