There isnt any water or electricity on the caravan storage site, so how do you clean inside and out with having no hot water or electric for a hoover. There isnt any room to bring to home so this is why ime asking and it is better to cover the caravan up for winter or will it make it attract the damp.

It's a tip within five minutes anyway with our lot.

The chap that owns our storage site lives next door but one to the site and allows us to fill our aqua roll then just boil a saucepan of water on the gas hob and jobs a good un.

our old storage site had a dedicated caravan washing area.
We've always cleaned the inside while on site, not yet cleaned the outside on site but have seen many people doing it.------------- Rich

I always give the van a good clean inside on site, at storage site, take water down with us to clean inside.
And use the farmers leaky hosepipe to wash the outside of van, once a year.------------- 2013.

Our Van is now on a seasonal Pitch so fine for inside but one of the site rules states no washing of Caravans! I am sure i can get away with a quick wipe down but sometimes after winter it needs a liitle bit more. Any suggestions
Thanks

most caravan sites that have seasonal pitches have a card in the reception or shop window advertising someone who is allowed to come on site and clean your van with special cleaners,they usually do an excellent job and are worth the money but can cost a few quid ------------- wynnie

Hi, as rob 12 says, and there is also showroom shine, rub it on wipe it off, no water needed.
------------- If everything runs smoothly then I must have done something wrong
If in Doubt Check it Out.

We take a container and a couple of bottles of water a ladder and watering can spray garden bottle and wash it where it is .we try to give it a good wash plus roof twice a year then wash back front and sides when on site. We always clean the inside before we come home. If not as soon as we arrive on site.
It is not easy but we manage. There is nothing else you can do if you can't take home.
This is the same with us. Other wise I have wondered about taking it to a hand car wash. That's if they do it. But then you have to get it there.

We have a few entrepreneurial car wash men who have sprung up on bits of waste land/old forecourts around where we live.
One of them even has a sign saying "Vans and Caravans washing".
If you have any around you I bet they will do it for a price.
