<\/a>Cleaning your tow ball prior to towing is good practise and will result in a better tow and aid in keeping your stabiliser pads cleaner for longer.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/h3>\n
Mains Socket Tester<\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/a>Checking the site’s mains supply is a prudent move. Incorrect polarity, earthing problems can be identified easily with the use of a mains socket tester. These handy devices simply plug into the socket and communicate the status of the mains supply by way of 3 lights. When all three lights light up, you are good to go. If all three lights don’t light up, it’s time to investigate!<\/p>\nAdjustable Wrench Set<\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/a>Gas bottles and the leisure battery both require the use of a wrench. So don’t be caught out without a suitable one. Plenty\u00a0of options on the market, nothing caravan specific here!<\/p>\nScrewdriver<\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/a>Plenty of screws keeping the caravan together. Be ready to tighten the odd one!<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
Spirit Level<\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/a>Levelling the caravan is an essential task. So make sure you keep a spirit level handy when you’re setting up.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
Penetrant\/Lubricant Spray<\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/a>Keep your towbar electric socket in good shape with a good multiuse penetrant\/lubricant spray. Helps displace moisture, protects against corrosion and contaminants. Useful on those adjustable wrenches as well!<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
Multimeter<\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/a>Handy for checking the leisure battery voltage accurately and also checking fuses, if you suspect one has blown.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
Torch<\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/a>A small powerful torch should always be at hand.<\/p>\n
