Not sure of the technical stuff, but I would take some stuff to sterilise the water system ie milton. Having said that, please don't use as much as hubby did, never has our van smelt so clean!!

have a great time, where u off to?

We always bring ours home after winter storage and check all the gas and electrics are working fine, run the pipes through with some strelising soloution and also give the aqua rolls a soak in some soloution. A couple of years ago one of the pipes under the bathroom sink had developed a leak so we were glad we found out about it before we went away so we could fix it. This year we found that mice had got in the van
